Amazon.com Review
The keys to overweight are liver toxicity, waterlogged tissues, fear of eating fat, excess insulin, and stress, asserts nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman. Her Fat Flush Plan addresses these problems with a targeted diet. The Fat Flush Plan, filled with nutritional analysis and detailed explanations, is not a quick read. Despite Gittleman's assertion that the plan is "as easy as 1-2-3," it is quite regimented. No white flour, white sugar, margarine, vegetable shortening, artificial sweeteners, or caffeine. The diet emphasizes essential oils (e.g., flaxseed and GLA), protein (eight ounces or more, plus two eggs a day), vegetables, thermogenic spices (e.g., ginger and cayenne), water, and diuretic beverages (eight glasses/day of diluted, unsweetened cranberry juice). In its first two-week phase, the plan is a rigid, low calorie (1,100-1,200 calories/day), low-carb (no grains or starchy vegetables) diet. Phase two lets you increase your calories to 1,500 and add two "friendly carbs." Phase three, the "lifestyle program," moderately adds more dairy, carbs, and calories. Gittleman promotes walking and recommends strength training in phase three. The book includes 41 recipes such as Grilled Lamb Chops with Cinnamon and Coriander, Breakfast Egg Fu Yung, and Cumin Sauteed Scallops. The Fat Flush Plan is recommended for dieters willing to commit to a strict plan for weight loss. --Joan Price

 Thoroughly researched September 29, 2008
Gittleman has done the world a huge favor by stressing the importance of detoxification in order not only to lose weight, but also to have health in general. This is something raw foodists have known for a century. Unfortunately, she doesn't go into cooked food as a source of additional toxins. Nonetheless she has done her homework in finding all kinds of tips for detox, such as herbs and lemon juice.
I got lots of weight loss nuggets from this book, and various insights that helped me shed 20 pounds. (This is one of a dozen or so books I used for research.) I was astounded to discover that flaxseeds can be toxic if you eat over 4 T a day (not true for flax oils)! That information alone was worth the price of the book! That pearl of advice alone has changed some of my food staples.

This book is not enough at all. May be because while i am desperate to lose as much weight as possible, I knew more even than what is in the book. But, I believe it contains valuable info.
Similar to Lindora and Dr. Oz' You On A Diet September 20, 2008

Buy You On A Diet from Dr. Oz - it's an easier read and very similar, i.e., a lifestyle change to low carb low fat eating - plus the supplements and other tricks to keep your metabolism humming. If you need help/supervision, try Lindora if you live in CA. This is a medically supervised diet clinic that does the same but with support and daily or weekly weigh ins and counseling. All of them teach you the basics of a healthy lifestyle - these are not diets - they are avenues to changing your lifestyle, which is the only way to keep weight off.
An excellent plan, if you are tough enough! August 20, 2008

How bad do you want to lose it? Because this diet is like boot camp for bulges and cellulite. If you are able to stick to it, you WILL see dramatic results. I am not going to lie, it is tough; the first week is absolutely brutal. But once you get rid of the sugar you won't believe how good you feel! I was sugar free for a few months, and at my son's second birthday party, I tried a sliver of his birthday cake and the sugar made me dizzy and gave me a horrible headache. Once you cut out the refined process foods and get them completely off your palate, you won't believe the natural sweetness of organic, fresh fruits and veggies. What I loved most about this book is that Dr. Gittleman took the time to back her claims with her life's research and work, and she explains things scientifically, but in a way that is understandable. Also there is a wicked awesome online forum, google it and go there for support if you decide to start the plan. Good luck and get ready to flush that fat!
