The Fat Flush Cookbook

OK ... at the price of being whiney there are a few things that bug me starting with the name of the program or book ... The Fat Flush Cookbook ... gimme a break the toilet imagry was probably an in your face decision by the author .. Certainy sections of the book that practically describe what a knife or a wooden spoon is are over the top, trust me I don't think that this book is meant for people that are not wholly and totally comfortable in the kitchen ... the fact that as a cookbook there are no pictures to show meal presentation is a total bummer for me that's for sure ... OK so this is not the kind of book that you want to read from cover to cover as the plot thickens, or should I say the sauce thickens .... but ... there are sections that make it worth the price alone ... First .. chapter one and two that expalin the concept and process of the diet is very good and if you tie it in with your general knowledge of outher diet plans such of the 'Sugar Busters Diet' it is excellent ... Then chapetr 3 is filler telling you that you'll need spoons and pots to be able to cook Chapter four is absolutely fabulous since it describes the impotance and historically forgotten banefits of most of the important herbs and spices in your kitchen... I have a copy of that section right beside my spice rack as we speak ... Lastly, the recepies, the reader should be very discerning and pick the one's that would be appealing and necesary... How to make sugar free catsup is super ... hot chocolate and even dishes using cardamon seeds are great ... The book is a little pricy if you only buy it and put it on the shelf for some future project, but if you have the time and inclination to pick out what you want, well, then it's well worth it ....

The Fat Flush Cookbook is an excellent companion to the Fat Flush Diet. Anyone who complains that Fat Flush food is bland or boring will be surprised by these tasty dishes that even your whole family will love. My husband especially liked Tangy Chicken with Tomatillos. There are spice mixes to perk up your food. Especially nice is the section on "meal in one" dishes and easy-packed lunches. There's even two pages of speedy no-recipe snacks.

What I esp. like about the 200 or more recipes is that they are generally pretty easy to prepare and don't take a lot of ingredients. They emphasize the natural flavor of the foods. Plus, there are a lot ideas for those tastes you may think you're missing.The section on the recommended herbs and spices is esp. informative. There are lots new, original recipes for all phases, but those who've made it to the maintenance stage, will esp. find new ways to create healthy versions of old favorites. The book includes updates for all phases, but esp. for Phase 3, with a greatly expanded list of suggested foods for special occasions.

Thanks to Ann Louise Gittleman and her Fat Flush Plan, I have lost over 70 pounds in the last nine months! I did it by following the protocols in the Fat Flush Plan and have enjoyed all the recipes that are included in that book. However, the new recipes in the Fat Flush Cookbook are WONDERFUL! It's great to have some new dishes to add to my Fat Flush repetoire. Yet, the Fat Flush Cookbook is far more than just a bunch of recipes. Ann Louise provides an abundance of great advice on everything from Fat-Flushing Herbs and Spices to healthy cookware to how to keep special occasions healthy and Fat Flush-friendly! (I've already planned some GREAT meals over the holidays, using the new recipes in the Cookbook.)If you are new to Fat Flush, the basic Fat Flush Plan is the place to start. But, you'll want to add this excellent cookbook as soon as possible to get some additional ideas about how to make Fat Flush your eating plan for life.
