***Smart Food Choices to Flush the Fat

Can the right foods really flush fat from your body? Although at crazy as the concept might sound you can really reshape your body while detoxifying your system. This low-carbohydrate, three-phase diet regimen was created by nutritionist A

Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., C.N.S.

In this article, I’ll provide a brief overview of the Two-Week Fat Flush system created by Dr. Gittleman.

Phase 1 of the plan, called The Two-Week Fat Flush, lasts 14 days and is designed to jump-start weight loss. Phase 2, The Ongoing Fat Flush, helps you continue to lose weight, and Phase 3, The Lifestyle Eating Plan, focuses on maintenance.

The Fat Flush Plan was designed to increase your metabolism, flush the bloat from your body and to boost the fat burning process. The core of the plan promotes a balanced lifestyle and encourages healthy habits. These are many of the same habits that seem to have gone by the wayside due to our hectic modern lifestyle.

Every aspect of the plan is focused on accomplishing this goal. This comprehensive program provides guidance for essential fats, amounts of protein, antioxidant-rich vegetables, moderate amounts of fruits, calorie-bu
ing herbs and spices, cleansing diuretic beverages, exercise, jou
aling and even sleep are addressed.

The Two-Week Fat Flush is based on an average of 1,100 to 1,200 calories daily, and is designed to jumpstart weight loss for dramatic results. It will transform your shape by accelerating fat loss from your body's favorite fat storage areas - your hips, thighs and buttocks.

The Ongoing Fat Flush is the next step for those individuals who have additional weight to lose but who also want to pursue a more moderate cleansing program and enjoy a bit more variety in food choices while still losing weight. This part of the program is designed for ongoing weight loss, with approximately 1,200 to 1,500 calories each day. This is the phase that will be followed until you reach your desired weight or size.

The Lifestyle Eating Plan is your maintenance program for lifetime weight control. This phase offers over 1,500 calories daily, providing a basic lifelong eating program designed to increase your vitality and well-being for life. You’ll add up to two dairy products and up to two additional friendly carbs. Phase 3 friendly carbs include more choices from a variety of starchier veggies and nongluten hypoallergenic grains. Foods are always introduced one at a time to make sure there are no allergic reactions and you’re your body tolerates the food well.
