I Have NEVER Felt Better!
Lisa Lost 42 Lbs. – Fat Flush For Life
I am 48 years old and have NEVER felt better! I have been using the Fat Flush for Life Plan for over 2 years now. I have lost a total of 42 lbs and have been able to keep it off for over a year!
Besides the fact of how much healthier I look, is the incredible difference it has made in the overall way I feel. I have so much more energy and positive outlook. No more afternoon “crashes”, sweet cravings or even PMS!
The plan is easy to follow and I have found a great deal of support from Dr. Ann Louise’s Health Blog and website. Thank you for literally changing my life and helping me achieve the one I always dreamed of!

I not only look better, I feel better!
Lisa lost 30 lbs – Fat Flush Soup Diet
“In August last year, I fell ill with a case of food poisoning. I was ill for several months afterward, and was told I probably had diverticulitis. So I avoided seeds, corn, beans, and hard to digest vegetables. I also developed pain under my left ribcage, and it worsened after eating breads, pasta, or sugary carbs. By the beginning of 2012, I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. I was bloated and went up to a size 18 pants. I did some research online and thought maybe I had Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
In February, I bought an issue of Woman’s World magazine, which has a new diet on the cover every week. This one was called Fat Flush Soup Diet, and I thought—I love soup, I bet I can do that! So, I bought the issue and went home to read the article. It sounded almost too easy, and I didn’t love ALL the ingredients in the recipe. But it seemed simple, and I liked the idea that there was protein for breakfast and in the soup.
I bought all the ingredients, except for the mushrooms and beans, and went home to make it. I was leery of adding the cumin and cayenne pepper suggested in the recipe. I couldn’t believe the serving size was 3 cups, so I decided to go to the Fat Flush facebook page—and asked online about the serving size. Sure enough, it called for 3 cups per serving!
While online, I looked at the author’s, Ann Louise Gittleman, web page and read a few articles she has written on diet and parasites. I was shocked to see that the symptoms that accompany someone with parasites were identical to what I had! I later found out that a bad case of food poisoning can bring this on. ALG suggested taking a probiotic, so I immediately went to the drugstore to get some. I learned that probiotics also play a key part in weight loss.
The first few days of the soup diet, my stomach rebelled. I thought- oh well, I guess I can’t do this. But as I continued reading ALG and Fat Flush’s websites I thought- ‘Gosh I really need to do this!’ I made a 3 month plan to lose 30 pounds and created a food journal. I started on Feb 3, 2012 at 187, and in 10 days I had lost 8 pounds! I was excited and motivated! Although you shouldn’t weigh yourself everyday, I did that, and was amazed to watch it go down! My biggest challenges were and still are: eating out, and getting together with friends and family. When my husband and I eat out, I will order a grilled chicken sandwich, with no bun, and some type of vegetable on the side.
Friends and family are all seeing the difference too! I achieved my goal of 30 pounds lost and am now aiming for 10 more! I was never ever hungry either! I not only look better, I feel better! I tell everyone about the Fat Flush Plan, because it isn’t just a way to lose weight—it truly is a healthier lifestyle!”

I’m wearing two dress sizes smaller!
Linda lost 25 lbs – Classic Fat Flush
“As some of you may know, I’m terribly shy about doing personal testimonials, but as Meal Planning Maven, I felt the need to share my exciting success story with all of you.
After a hard-fought battle and finally maintaining the weight I lost on Fat Flush for many years, I had to find a way to attack some unwanted ‘scale creep’ that had found its way to me. I’ve been plagued by complex estrogen dominance, perimenopause, PCOS, metabolic syndrome, and thyroid issues for years, but this past year my levels in all areas really went out of control. I cannot tell you the fatigue I’ve endured- just getting out of bed in the morning was sometimes nearly impossible. And, oh, the brain fog…this was not good news at all!
Well, by creating my version of the Smoothie Shakedown and Fat Flush magic, I’m ecstatic to report over the past year I’ve lost about 25 lbs!
Just when I thought my news couldn’t get any better, I’m also ecstatic to report I lost about 10 inches, including several from my belly- which despite regular exercise wouldn’t budge! Plus, I’m wearing two dress sizes smaller and recently gave away almost an entire wardrobe of clothes. My energy level and ability to concentrate on my clients and my personal life have vastly improved. Simply amazing!
I believe regularly alternating between the Smoothie Shakedown and Fat Flush helped me to make the Fat Flush family of plans a true eating lifestyle FOR ME- completely fulfilling my needs on every level. Naturally, ALL Fat Flush foods are superstars, but if I had to choose the biggest and best, it would have to be Body Protein. Not only is it delicious and filling, I absolutely credit this unique plant-based formulation for resetting my metabolism and allowing me to lose the weight and keep it off. For a ‘slow as a turtle’ loser like me, this is truly magical!
Although the combinations of berries you can use in smoothies are literally endless, two of my absolute favorites are blackberries and raspberries with a pinch of ginger, and cinnamon, strawberries, and blueberries with a squeeze of lime. During our local farmers’ market season, I like to freeze fresh berries in single serving portions to enjoy all year. When my supplies run out, I look for Cascadian Farms and Woodstock Farms on sale at my local organic food store.
I’m also thrilled to report I’ve been recently told by my health care practitioner:
- My thyroid is finally on its way to being balanced again!
- I no longer fit the profile for metabolic syndrome! (Although I will always have the tendency to develop it again, so staying true to this plan is vital.)
- I no longer have PCOS (I am cyst- and fibroid- free!)
- My osteopenia is improving!
I cannot tell you wonderful it feels to ‘pay it forward’ by sharing my success with the Smoothie Shakedown and Fat Flush plans with my Meal Planning Maven clients—who in turn are experiencing fantastic results! My journey has given me the unique ability to understand what others with frustrating medical issues and/or the inability to lose weight (and keep it off) endure, which allows me to be an important partner in their own success stories.
Ann Louise, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your wisdom, friendship, care, and concern over the years. I also wish to thank Liz Beck and the entire UNI KEY staff for their knowledge and patience. All of you are the BEST!”

Within two days, my intense carb cravings were gone!
Linda L. lost 88 lbs – Classic Fat Flush
“Ten years ago, I lost weight following Ann Louise’s Fat Flush Plan. I even helped moderate her online forum for a while and went on a couple of her Fat Flush cruises! However, over the years, due to the stress of caring for my ailing parents (and the emotional eating that went along with that), the scale started moving in the wrong direction.
At the same time, I developed hypothyroidism. As a nurse, I figured that was an easy fix…just take the thyroid medication prescribed by my doctor. Yet, even though I took the medication religiously, follow-up blood tests showed that my thyroid function was continuing to decline. And, the weight wasn’t budging, no matter how little I ate.
Last spring, I began having attacks of gallbladder pain. I knew that I had the risk factors for needing my gallbladder removed: ‘Fat, Female and over Forty.’ Wanting to avoid surgery, I emailed Ann Louise looking for advice. She responded that she was in the midst of doing new research on the connection between bile, the thyroid and weight loss…and that, because of my medical history, I would be a great person to help her test her research!
Ann Louise suggested a couple of supplements that would be supportive of my thyroid and my gallbladder, but other than that, I was on my own. I was free to follow any diet I liked. Since I knew that Fat Flush works, I fell back on the basics of that plan, with the addition of some ‘new’ healthy fats: macadamia nut oil, pastured butter and avocados. (I had convinced myself years ago that I didn’t like avocados, but after trying them again, I love them!) So, basically, my daily food intake became low in carbs and high in healthy fats, with a moderate amount of protein.
My ‘start date’ was my 62nd birthday. Within two days, my intense carb cravings were gone and the scale was already showing movement! There were no hunger pangs; no feelings of deprivation; no calorie counting; no points to add up. Just a strong focus on healthy fats and real foods. During the first three months, I lost 31 pounds. After six months, I had lost another 22 pounds. And, now, just a couple of weeks away from my 63rd birthday, I am 88 pounds lighter than when I started this journey!
So, if you are ‘of a certain age,’ like me, don’t buy into the pervasive myth that women can’t lose weight after menopause. I’m living proof that’s not true. To be honest, it’s actually been easier then when I tried to lose weight in my younger years! This is where the bile factor really must play a big role! Oh…and my mental clarity has returned! No more…’Where did I put my keys?’ ‘What was I about to say?’ I do truly feel ten years younger than before I started this eating plan!
Of course, by now, I have read Ann Louise’s recent book, Eat Fat, Lose Weight, and I have a better understanding of the bile/thyroid connection. But, it’s not just interesting research to me. I no longer have gallbladder pain, no matter how much (healthy) fat I eat. No gallbladder surgery for me! And, my sluggish thyroid is a thing of the past. I have my energy and good metabolism back. Plus, I take less thyroid medicine than before and the blood tests show my thyroid is working better than it has in years!
These days, I am starting to add other healthy fats into my lifestyle. Coconut oil is the latest! After that, I’ll try another one from the many that Ann Louise discusses in her book. Using Eat Fat, Lose Weight as a guide, I know I can maintain this lifestyle…and keep on improving my health. As a nurse, I know that medication has its place and that surgery cannot always be avoided. But, I also know that the right foods make for great ‘medicine’ too!”

I am very thankful for the Fat Flush Plan!
Leslie H. lost 24 lbs – Classic Fat Flush
“When I was 38 I tried the Fat Flush plan as a liver cleanse, not to lose weight. I saw it in Woman’s World magazine and thought I’d give it a try. My results were that I lost toxins AND 12 lbs in 14 days! I was so successful, that about 8 friends and co-workers tried the plan! I literally kept the weight off for many years. I have used the 2 week Fat Flush Plan any time a few pounds sneak up on me.
Now at age 53, a slow thyroid coupled with menopause has made weight loss a lot more challenging. I began eating more healthfully (removed dairy, bread, alcohol, sugar), and walking daily, between 3-10 miles a day. The weight began to come off, but I really needed to boost the fat burning.
Years ago when I did the plan, I bought the herbs separately and tried to get the doses right! Although I was successful, it was a pain! The convenience of the Fat Flush Kit simply can’t be beat! I weighed 149 lbs when I started my diet and want to reach 118 lbs. I only have 7 pounds to go! I know first-hand that it is easier to keep in shape and maintain than to become lax and have to get back into shape! I am 5’2″ so when I gain weight, it really shows fast!
I am very thankful for the Fat Flush Plan and UNI KEY for helping me reach my weight loss goals! I recommend it to everyone when they comment on how much thinner I am! I think that this plan (like any weight loss plan) takes discipline, but if you can buckle down, you WILL see results! It has taken me about 5 months to lose what I lost so far. The “BEFORE” picture was my motivation for starting this!”
