Fat Flush Plan
Published 03/4/2006 | Low Calorie , High Fiber | Rating:


In just two weeks, you’ll melt away fat from your hips, waist and thighs, thanks to The Fat Flush Plan. Prepare to cleanse your body and lose big with this three-phase diet program, created by well-known nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman. The aim of The Fat Flush Plan is to boost your metabolism, flush out the bloat and speed up fat loss.

Looking beyond the basic principles of healthy eating and exercise, The Fat Flush Plan leans on a rigid program that focuses on essential fats (flaxseed oil, gamma-linolenic acids and conjugated linolenic acid), protein (8 ounces or more per day plus 2 eggs), antioxidant-rich vegetables, moderate amounts of fruit, calorie-burning herbs and spices (apple cider vinegar, mustard, cayenne, ginger and cinnamon), cleansing diuretic beverages, exercise, journaling and sleep.

There are three phases: The Two-Week Fat Flush, The Ongoing Fat Flush and The Lifestyle Eating Plan. During the vigorous phase 1, you’ll consume between 1,100 to 1,200 calories per day. By following Gittleman’s lead, the inches will melt away from the areas which mainly store fat – right around the midsection. Instead of chipping away at muscle, you’ll reduce bloat.

In Phase 2, you’ll continue losing weight at a more moderate pace. Your calorie intake will be increased to 1,200 to 1,500 calories a day. You’ll move on to Phase 3 once you’ve realized your goal weight.

Using Phase 2 as your foundation, you’ll make the transition into Phase 3, where you’ll consume more than 1,500 calories a day. During this maintenance phase you’ll be able to enjoy four healthy carb servings (a variety of starchy vegetables and nongluten hypoallergenic grains, along with two dairy servings.

    I also have to agree with all the other feed back. I suppose the reason might be because, as we all know you don't get something for nothing. We probably have to buy something or buy some of the foods products that we see. I for one don't, nor can't buy all this separate foods! Just thought I would add my 2 cents worth as well.

    Admittedly, this article skims the surface of the two books that Dr. Gettleman has written on the subject. The first is titled Fat Flush Plan which gives are the specifics of the nutrition program. I use the term nutrition program rather than diet because this program is a permanent lifestyle for permanent weight loss. Dr. Gittleman's other book that I highly recommend to go along with the aforementioned is The Fat Flush Cookbook. I have tried the nutrition program and it does work--like everything else in life--it works if you work it.

    I have this book and read it thoroughly, front to back. It is a great program to detoxify your body from the eating habits that we have allowed ourselves to follow to become overweight. It will help anyone who tries it under a physician's approval... always do that first before starting any kind of changes and you have issues concerning your weight, health management, etc.

    This was interesting and a very healthy type of program.

    Reading some of the other reviews, I noticed a book was mentioned in relation to this review. I'm assuming that Anne Louise Gittleman wrote a book called The Fat Flush Plan?? Whoever wrote this article should have mentioned that specifically so everyone wouldn't be in the dark about where to find the rest of the information about this diet. Unless you are writing a mystery novel, don't make your readers have to figure things out. That's not good writing and the frustration your readers experience is not good p.r. for the site.

    This is an excellent way of losing and maintaining weight. I know 2 people who followed and they LOST A TON of weight. It was unbelievable how noticeable it was after about 1 month. However, both of these ladies are ex-military and very disciplined. They followed everything/recipe/supplement and you name it that the book mentioned. After seeing their results and I am preparing myself to try it for 2 weeks. The women noticed a difference in their skin and nails also.
