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 Sautéed Scallops. The Fat Flush Plan is recommended for dieters willing to commit to a strict plan for weight loss. –Joan Price

Losing weight is extremely simple. Spend more energy
than you consume, and the weight will come off.
Guaranteed. All it takes is some knowledge, dedication
and discipline. There is no silver bullet, all
these fad diets work to the extent the end result
is a negative difference between energy consumed
and energy spent. Get a good calorie guide, eat
1200-1500 calories a day of whatever food you want
to eat, exercise for at least 40 minutes 5 times a
week and you will lose weight. If you’re not, you
are cheating somewhere. There is nothing more to it.
If you want to make some people rich by buying these
books, by all means do that. It will not change any
of the above.

I have learned the only way to cleanse your body is to fast for one day. Diets do not work. ONLY WILL POWER.

Ann Louise Gittleman, The Fat Flush Plan (McGraw-Hill, 2002)
We were doing so well there for a while. Yeah, the book gets a little heavy on the new-age diction (things “resonate to” ideas way too many times in this book), and the constant talking about the necessity for eating organic food (with a helpful recipe in the back for soaking your foods in bleach-water if you can’t buy organic) was a bit unnerving, but everything else seemed to be on pretty solid ground. But then came the word that has become the yardstick for measuring the scientific objectivity of every nutritionist on the planet: aspartame. And Ann Louise Gittleman, as so many have before her, utterly fails the test.
In short, the so-called “dangers” of aspartame have been so overblown by the press and a few wild-eyed (and very large-mouthed) activists that it has now been blamed for everything from MSG-like headaches to Multiple Sclerosis. (Odd that the MS Foundation’s denial that the claim holds any sort of truth whatsoever got nowhere near as much press coverage.) What reports and studies is your nutritionist reading? Easy way to find out: ask them about aspartame. If they start getting fluttery around the eyelids, switch your nutritionist, quick.
Gittleman here attempts to softpedal the anti-aspartame mania the first couple of times it appears by focusing on sweeteners approved for the plan or saying that her bias against the stuff is caused by its water-retaining properties. But keep reading. Once you get to the last fifty pages or so, you’ll stumble upon a turn of phrase here, a word there, that strongly implies Gittleman has it in for aspartame for a lot more than that. Which draws the whole scientific basis of the book into question. (There are a few other shady bits, but the aspartame question is the easiest to determine, so I’ll stick with it.)
Ultimately, another diet book with a few good, logical ideas that can be found in a number of other places, some really awful overdramatization, and a lot of questionable stuff between the two poles. **

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.

This may be the best diet in the world, but frankly it didn’t take long for me to realize how time-consuming it all was. If you don’t work and have time to make your breakast and lunch, then go for it. But if eating oatmeal and yogurt at your desk is your thing, forget about it. There are plenty of low-fat, high nutrition ways to lose weight and stay healthy that won’t make you feel like you’re working in the lab. Making Cran-water for the day ahead? Grinding up flaxseeds? No grains. No dairy. I prefer to go with a healthy well-balanced eating plan WITH exercise to stay fit. Why would anybody brag about never exercising? Eating per this plan is a ridiculous way to live.
