Move over, Diet and Exercise! Make way for the 21st century’s new paradigm shift in weight loss and lasting weight control: the discovery of the liver as your primary fat-burning organ.

A major change is underway in the dieting landscape and leading the pack is the New York Times bestseller THE FAT FLUSH PLAN: The Breakthrough Weight-Loss System That Melts Fat from Hips, Waist and Thighs in Just Two Weeks and Reshapes your Body While Detoxifying Your System by Ann Louise Gittleman (McGraw-Hill, 288 pages; Hardcover, $21.95).

With almost 20 books on health and nutrition, and over 3.5 million copies in print, top nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman has been researching and perfecting this remarkable diet plan for over 15 years, with over 7000 testimonials from dieters who have lost the weight and kept it off.

Your liver is strongly affected by a poor diet. Excess fat, sugar, alcohol, and caffeine – even diet soda, anti-depressants and birth control pills –help to create a tired and toxic liver that can’t efficiently burn body fat, and thus can sabotage your weight loss efforts. THE FAT FLUSH PLAN is designed to clean out the liver and help you drop a dress size or two. “A liver overloaded with pollutants and toxins is the Number One weight-loss roadblock,” says Gittleman. “Probably nothing you do to control your weight is as important as keeping your liver healthy.”

In addition to targeting the liver, other nutrition bombshells in the FAT FLUSH PLAN include:

•How cranberries can get rid of cellulite

•How stress can act as a fat maker

•How certain fats trigger fat burning, not fat storage

•How less is more when it comes to exercise

•Why keeping a diet journal can help you lose weight

•Why getting to bed at 10pm is essential for maximizing weight loss

Simple, safe and effective, THE FAT FLUSH PLAN contains detailed menus, over 30 recipes, a comprehensive brand-name shopping list, tips on eating out, journaling and sleeping basics. There are also inspiring case histories from Gittleman’s files. The diet features three unique eating and exercise phases designed for weight/fat loss while ridding the body of impurities. These are:

Phase 1: The Two Week Fat Flush which will transform your shape by rejuvenating the liver – your body’s primary fat burner. A cleansed liver helps to accelerate fat loss from your body’s favorite fat storage areas – your hips, thighs and buttocks. Typical inch loss is up to 12 inches with 5-18 pounds of weight loss.

Phase 2: Ongoing Fat Flush is a less regimented transitional period with continued weight loss and more food choices.

Phase 3: The Lifestyle Eating Plan is a lifetime plan, which will help you stay fit permanently without having to sacrifice your favorite foods.

Unlike other diet plans these days, THE FAT FLUSH PLAN allows for plenty of variety and food combinations. But this groundbreaking diet doesn’t stop at “flushing fat.” Fat Flushers have also found it improves circulation, increases energy, stabilizes mood swings, induces sound sleep, improves skin texture, makes nails stronger and helps to lessen depression and anxiety. They also lower cholesterol (as much as 30 points) and balanced triglycerides levels.

In addition, the added bonus of internal cleansing provides unexpected mental and emotional benefits. A clean body translates into clearer thinking and mental alertness. As one Fat Flusher wrote to Gittleman, “we can’t expect to have sharp minds and luminous spirits when our bodies are polluted.”

THE FAT FLUSH PLAN has been endorsed by Barry Sears of the “Zone” diet (he has also penned the Foreword.) The plan will help you drop the weight, feel fantastic, improve your overall health and it takes just TWO WEEKS to see dramatic results while preparing you for a lifetime of fitness.
