I lost 50! pounds in 6 months on Beyond Pritikin

I have read every diet book out there. When I found the ivillage site and started reading the Fat Flush Board, I figured the Fat Flush Diet must be creating some pretty dramatic results. I bought Gittleman's first book BEYOND PRITIKIN to follow her program exactly and - wow - the Fat Flush started working on the very first day. I did FAT FLUSH for 6 weeks and then went to her other eating program which added in some carbs. I recommend this book to everyone. I am not hungry and have no cravings but best of all I have absolutely no desire to go back to my old eating habits.

Quick success to weight loss and feeling great!

I'm on my fourteenth day of the fat flush. I've lost six inches of fat, nine pounds, and my body shape is looking like my younger self! If I had exercised as suggested, I'm sure I would have burned off more inches. I feel great anyway. Since I'm a rather impatient person, the quick results of this plan has given me the motivation to keep it up and enjoy the thoughtful planning of what I'm going to eat. I just buy lots of fresh vegetables, keep my steamer out, have my evening primrose and safflower oils and am enjoying lean fish, poultry and meat even more. This is very exciting to me! I don't want to end the fat flush as I haven't really missed the carbohydrates! I've just ordered The Living Beauty Detox Program : The Revolutionary Diet for Each and Every Season of a Woman's Life by Ann Louise Gittleman, Ann Castro. I can't wait to read it!

Great Book About Fats and Weight Control

I thought this book was great..I learned so much about the right kinds of fat and why we are all so overweight in this country. This author has amazing credentials and hands on experience which makes her writing so easy to read. Her Two Week fat Flush is my new diet secret that I will do every three months to get myself on track. I recommend this to every teenager, woman and man who want a timeless book that works no matter what the latest diet fad may be.. Bravo.

Thinner Now Than I Was at Sweet 16

The diet program in this book is sensational..I not only lost weight but I feel good and all of my friends have noticed the difference. This woman sure knows her stuff and I hope to read the rest of her books some day, too.In the meantime, I am the most svelte I have been in years and plan to stay that way with the Two Week Fat Flush Diet Plan twice a year.

The Two Week Fat Flush is Worth the Price of the Entire Book

Wow - am I psyched. I lost l5 pounds on the Fat Flush Diet and they have stayed off.. I am not hungry and not craving food like I did before. I ordered the Fat Flush Kit the author talks about in the book and that made the whole thing go much easier. I would have had to search for the Fat Burner, GLA, and vitamin/mineral preparation elsewhere. I plan to do this program every three months. You should hear the compliments. This book deserves to be a best seller because Gittleman's advice really works.
