Rating: Summary: It really works! Review: The Fat Flush program melted stubborn fat from my abdomen (after three HUGE pregnancies) like nothing else I have ever tried. I am in my early forties, have three young sons, a full-time job, and following other diet plans just left me hungry and waiting for the torture to be over. Fat Flushing killed carb and sugar cravings for me, improved my skin and hair, and the results have been so impressive my husband is starting the plan, as are several women in my office. There is a great deal of information in the book that takes a while to digest, no pun intended. But the plan is amazing--just amazing in moving those pockets of adipose tissue you never thought would budge. Can't recommend it highly enough.
Rating: Summary: This plan works! Review: In two weeks I not only lost 18 pounds, I have never felt better and I cut my insulin injections down to almost nothing. I read the whole book I keep referring to it every day. I never thought I could get off of caffine!
Rating: Summary: The ONLY plan that has helped me to lose weight!!! Review: I'm 41 and have had life-long weight problems. I've tried every (and I do mean EVERY) diet, food plan, etc. Some did work but then I'd regain the weight. In all honesty they did not provide me with the life-long changes that were needed.I was skeptical of Fat Flush when I saw the book at my local bookstore. However, I have Ann Louise Gittleman's perimenopause book, "Before the Change" and knew that the lifestyle and diet changes covered in that book for perimenopause had worked successfully for me for several years. So I thought, hey, if she knew what she was talking about with that book, I'll give this a shot! What I've found is a plan that works! Between the foods, supplements and exercises in the plan, I've lost almost 30 pounds in 8 weeks! I feel satisfied, don't have strong cravings for carbs and sweets like I used to and I have more energy and feel better physically than I did when I was 20! This is my new way of living and I couldn't be happier and more satisfied. Finally all that cellulite and ugly flab is going away and being replaced by lean muscle. My skin is clear and radiant--someone even said I had a nice "glow" the other day! I've gone down 2 clothing sizes and am about to go down another! I can't say enough great things about the Fat Flush plan. It works with your body, not against it. The VERY best book I ever bought! Not only is it the best "get fit and healthy" plan I've ever experienced, there is a very wide support network that is found on ivillage's message boards. Just search for Fat Flush and you'll find a great deal of support, advice, and encouragement.

Rating: Summary: Back to Basics Review: 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!
Rating: Summary: Chock Full Of Excellent Information Review: This is a fascinating and informative read along with being a healthy cleansing and weight loss plan. It is complicated to follow at first but quickly becomes second nature.
Rating: Summary: A life-changing plan Review: I have struggled with weight issues all my life. I have tried (and failed) at every diet. The Fat Flush Plan is the first and only program that has worked for me. The first few days of the program are a confusing maze of cran-water and flax oil, but they shortly become a way of life. Ms. Gittleman fully explains the science behind everything she lays out in the book. I have lost 30 pounds, my skin is beautiful, my cholesterol is down, and I no longer suffer from daily sinus headaches (which I believe came from a sensitivity to wheat and/or dairy). If you are following this program to lose weight, not just for the terrific health benefits, you must follow it to the letter. Buy the book, read it and try it for two weeks. Like most "Fat Flushers" you'll want to continue indefinitely.
Rating: Summary: Nearly 60 and finally losing weight Review: Weight loss seems easy with the Fat Flush Plan. The author, Ann Louise Gittleman, explains how and why the supplements work, and sets out a lifestyle eating plan that will keep us healthy, unlike most other diets I've tried. Who ever knew that detoxifying the liver was necessary for proper metabolism? No wonder I couldn't lose weight. It wasn't just my age. The book also tells how to get rid of cellulite, and how to burn fat faster--using healthy, key ingredients in the Fat Flush Plan. I highly recommend this book to anyone serious about not only losing weight, but also about following healthy eating habits.
Rating: Summary: Great Way to Detox & Lose (FOR THE SERIOUSLY DETERMINED) Review: Great plan that makes a lot of sense. Ms. Gittleman makes extremely clear WHY you are doing what you're doing, step by step. It's a detox plan as well as a weight loss plan. Although the Phase 1 eliminates all carbohydrates and includes FATS -- unlike Atkins, the fats are HEALTHY. Also, carbohydrates are reintroduced. So, there's a lot of balance in this plan.
Rating: Summary: The Fat Flush Plan: this program works! Review: Ann Louise Gittleman, a renowned nutritionist, has provided a plan to flush the body of toxins and bring the body into weight balance. Is it easy? No. The first five days were pretty tough. Like any lifestyle change, this takes commitment. Does it work? Yes. I feel better than I have in years--no 4 PM drop in energy, no indigestion, and I have dropped a size in clothes. And, my cravings are gone. But best of all, I have found that I can follow the plan almost to a T at restaurants as well--no, NOT fast food restaurants! Ms. Gittleman also answers questions on an ivillage Fat Flush board, so we get answers to difficult questions straight from her. The Fat Flush Plan does take some study prior to beginning. Extra supplements are required. Gentle exercise is an integral part of the plan. I did find the book organization a bit mysterious, and the index not up to my snuff, hence my four star rating rather than five. But the Plan itself gets a five star rating from me. So if you are serious about improving your health, losing inches and dropping weight, try the Fat Flush Plan.
