The first time I tried this diet I lost 7 pounds overnight, which was obviously mainly water weight, but it didn't really come back--for a long time, at least, until I started eating way too much! Plus, I could tell that I was sweating out toxins (that hasn't happened again). Pretty effective even if you cheat some--I can't tolerate ANY artificial sweetener, and I have to have some chocolate (and take some drugs.) While it's difficult at first, I think it's a pretty healthy diet. Particularly the cranberry water, and everyone should drink lemon water every day. Great salsa recipe. You probably can't stay off the carbs for as long as she says, though. I had borrowed it from the library and renewed it a zillion times, so when I got serious this time, I thought I'd better get my own copy! I can't say I've followed it strictly so far, but have used the basic principles and am down about 11 pounds in a month and a half or so, though I have to say that is mainly from decreased calories. I really like this book and would recommend it.Read full review
My friend lost a bunch of weight & inches & talked about how good she felt using this plan so I got very interested. I'm a Type 2 diabetic & know that my pancreas is full of toxins & possibly fat. Md's don't really know whats going on w/it so I felt that detoxifying my liver etc would be a real plus for me. I don't need to loose that much weight but with having a history of cancer & took radiation yrs ago I know that my liver was damaged therefore this has to help. My lymphatic system is real sluggish as well because that's the type of cancer I had. I'm anxious to feel & look better. mustangchar65
I went on this diet for a month and would highly recommend it. I was about 25 pounds overweight and my my cholesterol was 312! After a month on this diet my cholesterol was 105! So it definitely works for reducing cholesterol. In the process I lost 14 pounds. The usual problem after a diet is relapsing into bad eating habits. The Fat Flush Plan includes drinking a lot of cranberry juice and water. Eating small quantities of protein 2 or 3 times a day, and including lots of fruit and vegetables in the diet. I followed it religiously. It lays out a menu everyday for 4 weeks. There is also an exercise requirement which was easy to meet. I will continue to eat in a similar fashion. The down side is it's a lot of cooking, more easily done by someone at home than someone who works. The other downside is it's a lot of groceries, so it's not a cheap diet, and living alone there was some waste. So, if you are considering it weigh all those things in.Read full review
The fat flush plan is effective and safe to do. I have done the plan 3 times in my earlier years with wonderful results each time. My son and his friend are starting it with me, and all of us have lost 2-3 pds just since our start date yesterday.

This is a common sense, logical way to lose weight by detoxifying the liver, which is the organ that metabolizes fat in our bodies. Although it is a "deprivation" diet, it eliminates the things which make us fat and therefore, results in fairly rapid (but healthy) weight loss. You may eat unrestricted foods in large quantities (fruits, vegetables, protein) and will not be hungry. You will just hava to re-educate your taste buds for the lack of salt, sugar, rtificial sweeteners (except for Stevia,)trans fats, etc. The author has a PhD in Science (I believe) and is a licensed CNS (certified nutrition specialist?). I lost five pounds in my first week, but my husband lost the same amount in two days. This is a diet that would be healthy for your entire lifetime with occasional "cheating" on special occasions. Unlike many other plans, it is balanced and perfectly safe for most individuals.Read full review
