Book Reviews of The Fat Flush Plan
Book Review: Are you serious about your body?
Summary: 5 Stars
The way Dr. Gittleman shares information about WHY the food choices, supplements, and meal combinations work so well is a must for anyone who loves their body and wants it to take them a long way down the road.
Yes, you can lose a great deal of excess pounds and unnecessary body fat, but knowing how the liver is so vital to these processes has opened my eyes to the reality of how much damage we do on a daily basis through our lack of awareness.
PLEASE make this a part of your life. You'll never regret this purchase!
Book Review: Astounding Results - Try This if You Have Failed Before
Summary: 5 Stars
After half of my office went on Fat Flush, I joined the crowd. Two weeks later, my scale has moved 8 pounds southward but my clothes are falling off my back. I can wear my size 10 jeans and my tummy is disappearing. Maybe the best part of all of this is as as PMS sufferer, I had no cramps or bloating pre-menstruation for the first time in my life.I read some of the other reviews and don't know how people can be so silly.
You spend 30 or 40 some odd years putting all sorts of junk in your body like coffee, drugs, sugar, fats, preservatives, and other assorted pollutants - and expect to have instant results without a little bit of detox and withdrawal.
Give me a break. Feeling good and looking good takes time and effort in this day and age.
I say FAT FLUSH ROCKS!
Book Review: At last...a diet that can change your relationship with food
Summary: 5 Stars
In June 2002 I saw an article in a Women's Magazine about the Fat Flush Plan. I read it and it seemed to answer all my questions about why I could diet and lose weight successfully (I am a WW Gold member TWICE!!!) but think of food all day long, and after reaching goal, put it all back on and more. I joined WW at 11 stone 4 lbs.(158pounds) when I was 39, determined to not be "fat and forty!" As I was 5 foot, 9 inches tall they should have forbidden me to join, or at least warned me off! But no, they gave me a goal of 10 stone (140 pounds.) I lost this weight so quickly and easily some people thought I was so thin they imagined I had anorexia! During the diet I was starving ALL the time, and afterwards soon put it all back on and more.At 13 stone 10 lbs (192 pounds) I rejoined WW, revising my goal weight to 11 stone 7 lbs. (161 pounds)...please note that this new goal was more than my original joining weight!!! I stuck religiously to the new WW plan, eating all the recommended foods and the low-fat, low-calorie sweets and other rubbish they sell at classes at high prices, felt hungry ALL the time, and achieved the new goal weight. You all know what happened next!
Many diets later, at 52 years of age, and weighing 4 ounces less than 16 stones (224 pounds) I found the magazine article about Fat Flush. I had to give it a go. I ordered the book, because if I know WHY? then I follow with my heart and brain, not just my heart, and have more chance of success.
The plan is not rigid; I don't eat meat, and I can successfully follow it. It doesn't rely on nor allow overprocessed, chemically "enhanced" empty foodstuffs, but majors on fresh, vitamin packed, natural foods. It starts off with a pretty limited selection of fruit(2 per day) and vegetables (unlimited in quantity) and suggestions for supplements and special foods such as flax oil and fibres and whey protein. Cooking is accomplished without added fat, but the diet is not low-fat, no-carb, nor, in my diet experience, cranky! The detox works! (And believe me I've tried a few of those too!)
I started the diet, first few days were hard, but it got better. You soon realize your obsession with eating has gone. You feel full for longer, even after salad!, and find mealtimes sometimes get forgotten. I have had to make myself eat at times, having not felt hungry at my usual mealtime, then realizing that the time has sped by, but that I should eat!
After the initial detox the food lists increase, and it gets easier!
In 4 months I have lost 45 pounds; 20 more to go to return to 11 stone 7 lbs. (161 pounds), and my clothes hang on me. A friend pointedly said wasn't it about time I bought some new clothes that fit. But I can wait, it won't be long till I reach my target. Then I know I can stay at that weight, not too thin, but fit, and so well! And I am not hungry!!!
I hope this has conveyed my enthusiasm for this diet, and I hope it helps other diet-ruined people who have lost hope of losing weight. If you are ready to have another go...try it!

Book Review: Back to Basics
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is great and I would recommend it to everyone who is interested in getting the low down on what it takes to feel better and build healthful eating habits. Weight loss is just a nice side effect. The book is easy to read and explains each topic in scientific yet easy to understand terms. ALG's Fat Flush Book will remain as my basis for my menu planning for the rest of my life.
My husbands says my skin looks better and so does my body. I don't have PMS as badly or mood swings, and I don't experience blood sugar crashes...Thanks ALG for putting my body straight!
Book Review: Best New Diet Book Out There
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this program and am so glad that the author - whose work predates the Protein Power people, Sugar Busters, Carb Addicts, and the Zone - is finally getting her due.The best part of the program is that my skin has cleared up, my fibromyalgia is remarkedly improved and I no longer have bouts of insomnia..
I lost 11 inches during the first two weeks and have managed to keep it off with her Fat Flush Kit - which is the most inexpensive way to get the carb controlling nutrients and liver supporting elements the author suggests.
The recipes, by the way, are unsually tasty and I serve them to my family.
I am a very satisifed customer and recommend that anybody doing those other programs, get on the Fat Flush bandwagon because this is the real deal and the next wave.
