Her <I>Fat Flush Plan</I> addresses these problems with a targeted diet.<p> <I>The Fat Flush Plan</I>, filled with nutritional analysis and detailed explanations, is not a quick read. Despite Gittleman's assertion that the plan is "as easy as 1-2-3," it is quite regimented. No white flour, white sugar, margarine, vegetable shortening, artificial sweeteners, or caffeine. The diet emphasizes essential oils (e.g., flaxseed and GLA), protein (eight ounces or more, plus two eggs a day), vegetables, thermogenic spices (e.g., ginger and cayenne), water, and diuretic beverages (eight glasses/day of diluted, unsweetened cranberry juice). In its first two-week phase, the plan is a rigid, low calorie (1,100-1,200 calories/day), low-carb (no grains or starchy vegetables) diet. Phase two lets you increase your calories to 1,500 and add two "friendly carbs." Phase three, the "lifestyle program," moderately adds more dairy, carbs, and calories. Gittleman promotes walking and recommends strength training in phase three.<p> The book includes 41 recipes such as Grilled Lamb Chops with Cinnamon and Coriander, Breakfast Egg Fu Yung, and Cumin Sautéed Scallops. <I>The Fat Flush Plan</I> is recommended for dieters willing to commit to a strict plan for weight loss. <I>--Joan Price</I> 870866 6 12 2001 The Fat Flush Plan total:73|5:16|4:21|3:25|2:9|1:2| 73 259 109 18 2 2 false false Mon Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Mon Jan 21 11:50:14 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 21 11:50:14 -0800 2008
We were doing so well there for a while. Yeah, the book gets a little heavy on the new-age diction (things "resonate to" ideas way too many times in this book), and the constant talking about the necessity for eating org...more...]]> 5 2 false false Fri Jan 18 14:54:02 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 18 14:56:30 -0800 2008 4 1 false false Mon Jan 21 16:35:54 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 22 05:06:04 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Sep 27 15:39:14 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 25 11:49:21 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 27 15:39:14 -0700 2008 This isn't a "looks good on paper theory"...more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Wed Jul 30 09:28:10 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 08 15:47:07 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Aug 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 23 17:18:43 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 23 17:19:18 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 18 12:43:13 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 18 12:46:39 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon Feb 18 21:01:09 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 18 21:03:07 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Mar 11 03:50:05 -0700 2008 Tue Mar 11 03:53:11 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Tue Sep 25 01:49:46 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 25 01:51:56 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Mon Nov 17 12:59:05 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 17 13:00:24 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sat Aug 18 19:52:27 -0700 2007 Sat Aug 18 19:54:26 -0700 2007 2 0 false false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 10 15:17:15 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 10 15:17:15 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Thu Apr 24 13:11:22 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 24 13:12:20 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon Jul 14 07:36:05 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 14 07:37:05 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Thu May 15 16:29:59 -0700 2008 Thu May 15 16:30:30 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Mar 25 12:45:27 -0700 2008 Tue Mar 25 12:46:28 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Sat Feb 09 13:35:32 -0800 2008 Thu Apr 02 17:04:40 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 27 06:52:58 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 06:52:58 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Tue Sep 15 02:23:36 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 02:23:36 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=885603
