“I was a figure skater since age 7, so my weight was always very important! I went through diet after diet—low fat, no fat, high carbs, no carbs, bulimia, anorexia. In my short life I feel like I have tried it all!

I grew up in the ‘low fat/no fat generation’ and my health suffered because of it. I tried to avoid meat, and ate pretzels, veggie sandwiches, fat free cookies, and anything else labeled ‘low fat.’ My hair started to thin, I lost my menstrual cycle completely, my muscles ached all the time, and I thought I had to work out more because I was still gaining weight.

I first came in contact with Fat Flush in ‘The Living Beauty Detox Program.’ At the time I was on birth control pills and was tired, unhappy, and very emotional. I would get crazy swings in blood sugar and would start to cry. I also would break out into a sweat when I needed to eat—and to top it off had put on 20 lbs!

As soon as I had finished ‘The Living Beauty Detox Program’ my hunger for nutritional knowledge was ignited! I read about detoxing and decided to try ‘The Fat Flush Plan.’ It was a breath of fresh air because it was sound nutritional principles based upon how the body worked. I began making very frequent trips to Whole Foods, Wild Oats, and Trader Joe's and would bring the book with me. I only bought the things recommended on the shopping list. It was so simple! I was so happy about just feeling stable that I didn't even focus on the fact that I was the thinnest I had ever been! It is truly life changing—it is so powerful to know how to eat and take care of our bodies!”
