Anyone know about Fat Flush plan?
- Thread starter niapage
- Start date
Method: The plan has three set guidelines
Phase 1: The two week Fat Flush
Phase 2: Ongoing fat Flush
Phase 3: The lifestyle eating plan
Phase 1 is the 'toughest' stage of the program and has been labled 'bootcamp'. It is first and foremost a cleansing program to facilitate weight loss by giving the liver support and nourishment.
Phase 2 is designed for ongoing weight loss with a bit more variety in food choices adding back a 'friendly' carb each week to check for adverse reaction to it.
Phase 3 is really the fat flush maintance program providing a lifelong eating program aimed at increasing your vitality and well-being for life. Now 2 dairy products can be reintroduced and a variety of starchier veggies and nongluten grains. Once again new foods are added back one at a time to gauge your bodies reaction. Once on this stage of the program you will likely find your daily percentages work out at the ratio 40:30:30

i have mad google skillz... 
phase 1 does have a 1/2 a grapefruit and an apple on it - so specific fruits are allowed... i have not read the book so i'm only guessing... it seems pretty hard core that there's not a lot of deviating from it - from the on the author's site - if you're allergic to certain foods on the phase 1 plan she says omit them - rathert han substitute them
She's also pretty insistant that flax seed oil is essential.. and if you don't like unsweetened cranberry juice (it's very very tart and sweetened IS NOT allowed it has a ton of sugar) to substitute apple cider vinegar...
It seems a little faddish to me... i'm sure it works like any fad diet for the short term... but long term it looks like a lot of work and expense to do what your plan already does

It basically looks like a good healthy diet, but I've never been in agreement with the whole `no grains, cereals, bread, potatoes, corn' etc. type of diets. Everything in moderation. I think people get into trouble not by eating a potato, but by eating a large potato dripping with butter, sour cream, bacon etc.
