Fat Flush Plan, by Ann Louise Gittleman

Shopping List
Flax seed (best: grind seeds yourself in your coffee grinder or blender)
Eggs
Protein Powder
Frozen Fruit for shakes
Lots of fresh vegetables for salads and meals
Protein can be fish, chicken, beef, lamb, your choice. Lean is best. Fresh is best. Variety is good.
Fruit for snacks
Raw seeds for snacks
Vitamin Supplements
Lemons
Cranberries (this time of year you can find them fresh in any produce section. Also available frozen. This recipe will provide two gallons of Cranberry Water and will last about two days. Remember you are drinking a LOT of this stuff!! Take one 12 oz. bag and boil in 32 oz water. Cool and strain and chill. This is your concentrated solution. To drink it you will mix it 7 to 1 with water. In a pint bottle, 2 oz. juice, 14 oz. water. This is what you drink all day. NO SUGAR. You may add a little Stevia if you have to.)

So, to summarize:
BOIL cranberries in 32 oz. water
Cool, strain, and store in fridge.
MIX cranberry with water 1:7 to produce Cranberry Water
         (ie. 1 oz cooked cranberry juice to 7 oz water)

My advice is to keep most of the solution clearly labeled in the fridge and only mix what you will be drinking each day. Should be about 8 servings of 8 ounces each or ½ gallon each day.

NB there is no bread on this plan. No pasta. No potatoes. No cereals, including oatmeal, Phyllis. No sugar. No soda. No coffee. Use the calendar. Look at the day when you can once again eat the thing you are missing. Notice how you feel now and changes in how you feel then.

For stress management I advise 1) exercise, 2) sex, 3) yoga, 4) stretching, 5) screaming into your pillow (best when alone in bed).

Questions to Carmen.

NB: Take some data snapshots before you start. Your choice from weight, energy level, general feeling of well-being, fit of clothing, food journal of your normal diet, or whatever you can record to fix your present status and mark progress. Because if you really do this for 7 days, YOU WILL HAVE PROGRESS!

Good Luck to all of us!
