Summary: Not Easy to Follow for a Man In A Small Town
Review: Ol' Dipper has been struggling a mighty trying to keep to this Fat Flush Plan. I was inspired by the quote on the first page of the book, "Every mighty oak was once a nut that stood its ground". Now I'm beginning to wonder if the author was actually making fun of me. You just can't get many of the items needed for this diet at our local gas station quick-mart. Baked eggplant, flaxseed oil, milk thistle, senna. Billy at the Texaco laughed out loud at me when I asked if he had these items. I then showed him the "Gingered Shrimp and Snow Pea" recipe and he nearly choked on his beef jerky and said he wanted to meet Ginger. I did manage to get anchovies by ordering a pizza from Ned's Pizza in the next town over. The toughest part was the author's insistence that I drink huge amounts of water every day despite the water problem I have in my trailer. I have made the substitution of Blackened Voodoo for spring water because this Dixie delight is still mostly water. The results so far after seven weeks have been less than satisfying. I'm not getting lost as often as I used to when walking now. That's good. The Odor Eaters are definitely shot though.

Summary: Very Satisfied
Review: My mother sent this book to me as a birthday present. She has lost 18lbs to date (it's 3/30 and she started 2/10). I started it on March 1st (it's 3/30 now) and even though I botched it 7 days this month, I still managed to lose 13lbs! I find it very easy to follow as compared to the typical low-carb diet, because it allows fruit - so I don't feel deprived like I used to. I was so afraid to eat fruit (after not having it for 2 years) thinking the sugars would screw me up, but now I look forward to my snacks and I don't crave the junk food - another miracle. What I really like about this diet is the science behind it - addressing the function of the liver and it's role in losing weight. The benefits of cleansing the liver are amazing - The first thing I noticed after 2 days was the bags under my eyes were gone! I'm only 28, so the fact that I already had them really bothered me - now it's nice and smooth under my eyes instead of puffy. There are so many other benefits besides the weightloss - consistant energy, mental clarity all day long, better sleep. I highly recommend it. And for anyone worried about giving up dairy (not allowed on the plan until phase 3 - the maintenance phase), it wasn't as hard as I thought, but I do still use butter all the time - just unsalted instead of salted - and the diet still works for me. =)

Summary: Melt the weight right off your hips !!!
Review: I first became interested in Fat Flush after trying out the program in "The Living Beauty Detox Program" book. The author has since expanded the program into "The Fat Flush Plan". I mainly see the program as a detoxification program and the added benefits are weightloss, energy, and healthy glowing skin! There is also a 24/7 support message board at ivillag.com to answer all your Fat Flush question. This program is worth your time :-) M.P.

Summary: I would like to get a mail perspective on the book
Review: Ann Gittleman was recently on a local radio station here in the bay area and I was intrigued by the book, yet when I read the reviews and the synopsis it seems like it is geared towards women and I wanted to know if there are any male readers that have bought the book and how the plan has worked for them...
please feel free to email [E-MAIL ADDRESS]

Review: The Fat Flush Plan is a practical approach to wellness along with a weight reduction program. Gittleman addresses the body's reponse to toxicity associated with chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and environmental components and offers a common sense approach to detoxification. This is not a 'theory' book, rather it is one that gives the reader essential information about wellness, nutrition and lifelong healthy eating. Moreoever, it provides a program that is uniquely staged to customize to reader's needs. The Fat Flush Plan was developed with real people and real life experiences in mind. Whether you are interested in just learning how to better care for your body, or lose weight, or develop a lifelong healthy eating plan, The Fat Flush Plan can provide it all.

Summary: Lose weight, lose the craving for chocolate and sleep better
Review: I started this diet because I wanted to lose 10 or 15 pounds before I go to Hawaii. I've never been on a diet before, usually when I want to drop pounds I give up the junk food and work out. But I read about this diet on ivillage and it didn't seem as extreme as some of the other diets that require you to eat mostly protein or take supplements that are harmful to your health. So I gave it a try and am on Day 11. So far I've lost a couple inches from my bust line and an inch from my waist. Pound-wise I've lost 5.5 pounds so it's not as dramatic as some testimonials in the book (I think one woman reported losing 9 pounds in 10 days). I think if you are within 10-20 pounds of your ideal weight the results will not be as dramatic. I'm also more focused on the inches versus pounds because I think it's a better indicator of fat loss. But overall I like the diet. Even though it requires me to give up the junk food, I don't feel deprived or even crave it. And I've always craved chocolate!! The other thing I like most about this diet is that I sleep so much better at night. So I definitely recommend the book. I've also tried a lot of the recipes in it, they're actually pretty decent and the food comes out flavorful and tasty.

Summary: FAT FLUSH PLAN IS THE BEST!!!
Review: My Mother introduced me to this book at the first of the year. She read The Fat Flush Plan and has now completed Phase I of the Plan with the Kit and lost over 15 pounds and 4 inches in under 3 weeks!!! After talking with my Mom I HAD to get this book myself. I have been on the program for almost 2 weeks now and lost about 10 pounds and 2 inches off my waist. Uni Key provided me with all of the recommended supplements, and the food plan is SO EASY to follow!!!This book is so user-friendly and packed with information and recipes that I would recommend it to ANYONE who wants a healthy weight loss plan or just an overall detox for their body!

Summary: Revolutionary, this one really works
Review: Weight loss diets don't necessarily make you healthier and cleansing diets don't usually make you thinner. The combined approach so clearly presented here gets to the underlying cause of weight and disease It is the best I have found in my 30 years as a nutritionist. I work with a lot of people with autoimmune diseases, blood sugar problems, weight issues and just plain old fatigue. I have found that this way of eating has helped all my clients, regardless of the symptoms. I recommend this book to everyone.

Summary: Best new diet book out there
Review: I have tried just about everything and the only program that worked for me was the Two Week FAt Flush in THE FAT FLUS PLAN. I suggest that everybody who can't move the cement around the hips, thighs, and buttocks buy this book. I found out about it on ivillage.

Summary: I LOST 10 POUNDS, 8 INCHES, AND GAINED BACK MY OLD SELF
Review: Ann Louise's book really saved my life. It not only helped me to get back into my old clothes but made me feel like the person I used to be beneath all that flab. I found the Two Week Fat Flush a bit difficult at first and then after four days, my energy zoomed and it was no longer a challenge to avoid coffee, candy, and diet products. By the way, I just read the Vegetarian review - and it was very apparent to me that this individual didn't even read the book. I give this book 5 stars. It is a worthwhile read for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. A happy reader in Raleigh.
