Summary: The diet for those who have tried everything else!
Review: Following an accident which really restricted my movements for nearly two years, I put on a lot of weight. Sixteen years and umpteen failed diets later I was getting heavier and heavier. I was beginning to read all those "Fat is beautiful" books, and was resolving to settle for a fat old age. Then I saw this plan and never looked back. I reached my target in less than 8 months, losing 63 pounds on the way. I feel great, and know I have found the way to stay slim for the rest of my life. I have maintained my weight loss now for over 6 months and follow the guidelines for Phase 3 at home and eat pretty much what I want when out.
The Complete Fat Flush Plan is a bargain....I paid a lot more for the individual books! Get them...you deserve to feel this healthy and trim! The books explain that it is not the slimmer who fails, but the diets that fail them! This plan understands all about our bodies needs and educates us to understand them too!

Summary: My Fat Flush Plan Success Story
Review: I do not know where to begin other than to tell you that this plan has SAVED MY LIFE!!! It has taken an overweight, tired, sick, and unhealthy woman and provided her with the knowledge and tools that have helped to transform her into a healthy, happy, energized, lucious woman.... heavy emphasis on the "healthy" aspect. I have had a weight issue since I was 12 or 13. Always turned to food for love, for comfort, for solice, for excitement, for passion, for.... you name it! And I've done every "diet" under the sun... including, but not limited to, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Nutri-System, Over-Eaters Anonymous, hypnosis, behavior modification, .... basically everything except jaw wiring (which I once checked into) and stomach stapling (which I also investigated). Last fall, while watching a football game, I overheard the announcer referring to one of the players as "a big guy.... 6'2" amd 235 lbs".... well I was 236 and certainly NOT 6 feet tall... it was, as Oprah calls it, my "lightbulb" moment. I knew I had to change my life or I was going to die. I am the mother of a 15 year old boy who needs his mother in his life and I was not going to be around long if I continued living the way I was. I started doing the Atkin's diet, and I liked the "low-carb" philosophy that he espoused, especially liked reading his "Age Defying Diet Revolution" book. But, overall the Atkin's diet left me feeling "heavy", constipated, kind of lathargic and overall felt basically unhealthy. Then, after telling a friend about my concerns with Atkin's, she told me about FFP in late May. Just hearing her talk about it made so much sense that I immediately went out and bought the book, cookbook and journal. (I've never been one to keep a journal, but I just started journal number five a few weeks ago.) I had seen Ann Louise Gittleman not long before that on Dr. Phil talking about perimenopause, and her newest book called "Before the Change", and sat there taking notes a mile a minute. She just made so much sense..... but I didn't put 2 and 2 together and figure out that she was that woman on Dr. Phil until I did a search of her books at the local library when initially looking for the FFP, and when I saw "Before the Change" on the list of her books, everything clicked!! Since the first week of June, I have lost approximately 65 lbs, and still have 36 more to go. But, far beyond the weight loss issue is the fact that I have become a healthy person. I live a healthy and fit lifestyle. I am a role model for friends, family, coworkers, and even perfect strangers that I meet. I have joked that I am like a Fat Flush evangelist. I even bought 4 extra copies of the book and 2 extra cookbooks, and created my own little FFP lending library so that I can lend them out to others to get them started. I have numerous friends who are now Fat Flushing.... all of them with success. Just as a side note.... I have purchased and read nearly ALL of her books. I especially liked "Eat Fat, Lose Weight". It all just made so much sense to me. I even bought "Super Nutrition for Men" for my husband to read. I have a little bookcase in my kitchen that I keep cookbooks and the like in, but I have one shelf devoted to my ALG books. I am very appreciative for what the Fat Flush Plan has done for me, my life, my family, my spirit, my outward and inward beauty, but most of all, I am thankful for my increased good health and overall sense of well-being and the knowledge that I can succeed at anything I really want to do, if I have the right information and the proper tools..... as I said at the beginning of this letter... it has CHANGED MY LIFE!! Thank you from the bottom of my bottom for everything this plan has done for me and all of the Fat Flushers around the world. Jamie Zayach

Summary: Go For It!
Review: I treated myself to this book for Christmas knowing it's a bad time of year to take on weight loss. It's packed with useful, sometimes little-known, information that takes more than one read to grasp. Bottom line: it works beautifully, even in January. I suggest you read the book all the way through before starting the diet regimine, locate the health food stores and check them out for items you will need frequently, and go for it. I found that if I prepared my breakfast and lunch the night before and took them to work to reheat in the microwave, I stayed true to plan. Slightly undercook the egg dishes at home and the reheat process will finish them just right. The program is expensive to start, but tapers off once you accumulate some of the items. (I justify all of it easily because I know I have treated my car better than I have treated my liver!) If you don't have the spices on the shelf, buy the smallest bottle you can until you know you will use them again and again; not to mention the freshness factor. The supplements make a huge difference...I'm OFF ZOLOF! My doctor actually prescribed it for energy instead of good nutrition. Which brings me to my last comment: Imagine, a diet book written by a nutritionist...what a novel idea!

Summary: Costly in more ways than one
Review: I tried this program for more than one year. Throughout the year, my energy decreased, I became sicker and spent well over $1,000 on supplements. I can't imagine how much I spent on special food items (cranberry juice, flax seed oil, etc.) This is an extremely difficult program to stick with and, if in fact you do become healthier, you might pay an extremely high price to get there (I saw my physician more this past year than since I had my child).
The best thing about the program are the Web sites, ..... Extremely kind, nurturing people are there to encourage and help you. But that too has it's negative affect; you get hooked on thinking your health issues are due to detox, not the diet or your intolerance for the diet. The program is very limited and restricted (I also spent close to $100 on a mini-trampoline, which I never used because jumping on it made me have to go to the bathroom). I stopped going to the gym, because my energy level was so low. Honestly, the year I was on the program was a continuious stop/start of the first phase.
I strongly suggest checking your local library before purchasing anything--book, supplements, food-- and see if it's something you can do. In addition to cranberry juice, flaxseed (either oil or seeds themselves) are major componenets of diet. I recently read that many people have a intolerance to flaxseeds--make sure you can tolerate them before considering purchasing anything. Also suggest researching flaxseed oil (even online); it isn't all it's trumped up to be.

Summary: Effective, but lots of detailed work!
Review: I've been only able to implement a few things. And this is from someone who has lost 60 lbs in two years. I really do like the whole program. However, you need lots of time to figure it out, if not a personal assistant to set it up for you.
