The power of the cranberry has been front and center of the Fat Flush Plan since the very beginning— and we were on to something!
As the star component of our signature Fat Flush Water (or Cran-Water), this tart fruit has been proven time and time again as a powerful ally in weight loss— and in good overall health. Studies have shown that people who regularly enjoy 100% unsweetened cranberry juice have smaller waistlines, healthier hearts, plus better memory and oral health.
A study included in a nutrition journal, Nutrients, found that cranberry juice drinkers who consumed 7.5 ounces (or more) a day were less likely to be overweight, compared to people who didn’t drink cranberry juice.
The ruby red beverage has also been proven to help safeguard your cardiovascular health by neutralizing two major threats: LDL, the cholesterol that generally leads to artery buildup, which can then lead to inflammation.
For many years, cranberry juice has been known as a natural prevention measure for urinary tract infections. Is it true? Research shows that compounds in cranberries effectively inhibit bacteria like E. coli from attaching to the walls of the urinary tract, which is commonly the cause of infection.
Certain compounds in cranberries also help prevent buildup of dental plaque, preventing cavity-causing bacteria from sticking to the teeth and polyphenols can help reduce inflammation in the mouth which protects against gum disease.
The key is to look for 100% unsweetened cranberry juice. No added fruit blends (pear juice, apple juice, grape juice, etc) and no sugar added (artificial or natural). It’s important to read the ingredients so you are sure to get pure cranberry juice— the most effective version. You can also easily make your own pure cranberry juice using our simple recipe!
You’ve seen Fat Flush Water all over the web, but does it really get results?
Over 25 years ago the Fat Flush concept was introduced by creator Ann Louise Gittleman in her first book, Beyond Pritikin, with the Two-Week Fat Flush. The Fat Flush Plan and the 4 other Fat Flush books that’ve followed were featured as New York Times bestsellers.
While the Fat Flush diet plans have evolved over the years to incorporate the latest in slimming research, the main principle of detoxifying the liver to accelerate weight loss remained.
A liver clogged with poisons, toxins and excess fats cannot perform its fat-burning duties. Freeing up the liver to do its job may be the single most important step you can take to reach your weight loss goals.
In the fat-burning process, drinking plenty of water is essential to keep you system flushed and allow your liver and lymphatic system to function properly — we always recommend drinking half your body weight (pounds) in ounces of water daily.
But, what about this “Fat Flush Water” — will it actually flush the fat?
Over the years, we’ve learned that with popularity comes imitation, so we weren’t surprised to see a guest on Dr. Oz promoting a “new” Fat Flush Water. Since then, you’ve probably seen it on Pinterest or Twitter or maybe even a blog or two, and the pictures do look delicious and refreshing. It is a lovely way to add a nice citrusy flavor to your water, but does this “Fat Flush Water” live up to all the hype? Does it really flush fat?
First, let’s look at the ingredients — water with a sliced grapefruit, a sliced tangerine, ½ a cucumber and a few peppermint leaves floating in it.
These are healthy foods with qualities that can be helpful during weight loss — peppermint helps with digestion, grapefruit contains an antioxidant flavonoid that can increase insulin sensitivity, tangerines are a rich source of vitamin C which stimulates the liver’s premier antioxidant (glutathione), and cucumbers have diuretic properties.
However, infusing your water is giving you almost none of the benefits of simply eating these foods, and quite honestly, isn’t flushing the fat.
A Fat Flush Water that really makes cellulite vanish!
The good news is we do have a Fat Flush Water that really does flush out bloat and stubborn fat deposits. It works so well that we’ve heard from Fat Flushers who have lost as much as 6 to 7 lbs of backlogged water weight in the first day!
Our signature Fat Flush Cran-Water contains water mixed with pure unsweetened cranberry juice — how simple is that? You can mix it up in the morning and sip on it throughout the day — we recommend 64-ounces (eight 8-ounce glasses) daily.
Cranberry juice is a natural diuretic and packed with flavonoids, enzymes and organic acids such as malic acid, citric acid, and quinic acid which have an emulsifying effect on stubborn fat deposits in the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system — the body’s “garbage collector” — transports all kinds of waste products not processed by the liver. With the help of the organic acid components, cranberry juice digests stagnated lymphatic wastes. This explains why so many Fat Flushers report that their cellulite disappears!
Even if you’re not following a specific diet or trying to lost weight, you can sip this tart and refreshing beverage daily to help flush out water weight, balance blood sugar, improve cellulite and keep your liver and lymph in optimum cleansing mode.
