Fat Flush Diet:
The Fat Flush Diet is both a detox diet and a weight loss diet.
It provides all the necessary ingredients to boost metabolism,
reduce water retention, and promote fat loss.
The Diet has 3 phases:
Phase 1 = 2 weeks: This is a restrictive phase of between
1100-1200 calories per day. The intention here is to "lose bloat",
which refers to reducing water retention as well as some fat loss.
In this phase you are not allowed to eat: margarine, alcohol, sugar,
oils or fats (except flaxseed oil), grains, bread, cereal, starchy
vegetables, dairy products. Even the herbs and spices are restricted.
Phase 2 = Ongoing: Here the calorie allowance is lifted to
1200-1500 calories. The idea is to continue on with the program
until the desired weight loss is achieved.
Phase 3 = The maintenance phase: Essentially a weight maintenance
phase, with a caloric intake of 1500 calories or over. Some starchy carbs
are gradually re-introduced, along with gluten-free grains, and some dairy.
Exercise: This diet contains a significant exercise component.
This can be anything from 20 to 40 minutes of exercise per day,
depending on the phase. This is typically low-impact (walking).
Strength training (lifting weights) is also on the list (twice a week).
A sleep prescription of exactly 8 hours per night is also required.
