With millions of followers nationwide, award-winning nutrition expert Ann Louise Gittleman has revolutionized dieting, helping people melt away fat through detoxifying one’s body. Fat Flushing nourishes glowing skin, reduces the appearance of cellulite, increases energy levels, and improves overall wellness. It’s no wonder Fat Flushing has become synonymous with looking and feeling younger.

Fat Flush for Life integrates groundbreaking new Fat Flush diets with corresponding fitness and wellness programs. Dr. Gittleman not only explains how to detoxify the liver and lymphatic system to get rid of bloat, belly fat, and cellulite, but also how to optimize weight loss through GI-enhancing beneficial bacteria (probiotics), balancing thyroid function, and taking advantage of your body’s natural response to the seasons to keep you thin and healthy for life.
“The influence of the seasons on the delicate balance of your body is one of the most vital but overlooked aspects of total health,” says Dr. Gittleman. Based on cutting-edge science, you’ll find year-round healing strategies, including:
Winter Fat Flush: Jump-start your metabolism and protect your immunity
Spring Fat Flush: Nourish the body while releasing liver toxins
Summer Fat Flush: Accelerate your detox to burn fat faster

Gittleman's Best July 26, 2010
I love this book. It presents a whole body plan for the whole year. I do pretty well on the Fat Flush Plan because I feel like I'm always eating healthy and Ann Louise actually uses some research and science for her plan. Now with this book there are realistic allowances for taste changes during the year. It's easy to eat lots of salad during the summer but once it gets cold eating salads all the time is unrealistic for me.
I also like her inclusion of Bach Flower Remedies and aromatherapy for each season and quick yoga exercises.
I'm a fan of Ann Louise Gittleman, this book feels like it was written for me and I was thrilled when I noticed that it had been autographed.
 Diet book review July 15, 2010
Well, another diet book purchase that didn't prove too successful. I appears that the only way I am going to get rid of this fat is to have it nipped, cut, and sucked out. I live in a small town and I can't afford to run around to the big city to get items to make the diet work.
Good but needs addition resources in the book June 28, 2010

I rated this book a 3.5, for most of the information is good. So instead of reiterating what was good, I have expressed items that can really make or break you from following this diet.
The problems with this book are as follows:
1. There are no substitutes to the some of the more expensive products she recommends. For examples: Flora-key, Fat Flush whey, etc. Only directs you to her distributor "Unikey"
- Have to do a lot of research and digging to get some alternatives: Flora-key use Jarro-Dophilus + FOS Powder (12 billion) but cut dosage in 1/2. For the whey use Jarrow Whey Protein Vanilla
Other people have suggestions??
2. It requires a BIG food budget. To get you through the first week, expect to pay around 300 if you don't have any of the supplements (whey, flax oil, probotics, cranberry juice) It does get a little cheaper for the rest of the month, but as soon as you run out of the supplements... $$$
3. It requires a LOT of time for food preparation. I noticed this was probably a big issue with her first book, since she now does "left over" days. Don't be surprised if you spend 1 - 2 hours a night to prep food for the next day (assuming you work during the day).
4. Items that don't have set recipes are very hard to follow and require a LOT of interpolation. How to cook the food, how much to serve, etc.
5. No good gauge on how much food to buy. Because of number 4, you don't know if you need to buy one carrot vs 5lbs of carrots. Based on this there isn't really a shopping list for the 14-day(s) meal plans that provides. Making it VERY time consuming to go through the book and write/type down the shopping list.
In wrap up, unless you are willing to sacrifice time and money, you may want to look at another option.

The First Lady of Nutrition did it again. Great book for the Fat Flush Veteran or new comers. Great recipes. Some new suppliments. The book really takes a whole life approach. Easy on for people on the go to follow. This book is about your mind, body and soul and how it all relates to healthy weight loss. Two thumbs up from me.

After attempting a different detox plan I immediately went back to what I know works! I have done the Fat Flush, The Fast Track detox plan and now, Fat Flush 4 Life and all I can say is WOWSERS! I love it! In a month I lost 14 lbs eating things I enjoy! I even began taking recipes that "un-fat flushed" would be taboo and made them "Approved"! I love the pesto and fish (have made it with every type of fish imaginable!)! The only recipe I made and then threw away was the Schezwan Eggplant (sp?). Couldn't bare to eat it myself so I certainly couldn't serve it to my family. I love that the fruits & veggies suggested are those in season vs. constantly substituting for what is available. I know I won't do some of the "complete" detox exercises she suggests (there is NO WAY I could keep oil in my mouth for 20 minutes!)...but with the results I'm reaping I don't feel it's necessary! I just want a clean/healthy body and I feel I'm getting it! My clients are so impressed with my results that a few of them have began the program as well as a couple of my co-workers! I suggest buying the journal she offers. I think it's a great way to track your progress, how you feel, the changes you've noticed, etc. For me, I've learned about foods I need to now stay away from and foods that "do my body good". I don't snack at night anymore and oddly enough, no longer feel I need to or that it's my God given right to have nachos at 10:30pm if I want them! LOL! I've learned a lot about myself and why I ate the way I did and how much my eating has changed and how good it makes me feel that I'm choosing whole-good-natural foods. Love Love Love it! BTW...I had my mom do this with me and she loves her bread, cheese and wine. Those things were the hardest for her to give up (crabby patty for a little while!)! But now she has a slice of Food 4 Life Spelt, cheese (not necessarily together), yummy brown rice, etc. and she's one happy camper! The first couple days of changing a lifetime of eating are the hardest. By mid-week you begin to feel proud of yourself for doing something good for yourself. Two weeks in your looking at your progress and thinking "how did I ever eat any other way"?! Go for it! You won't be disappointed!
