My Fat Flush Diet Soup is "briskly" simmering on stoves across the nation.

Avoid the sinister eight saboteurs.
Excess fat, sugar, refined carbs, gluten, soy protein isolates, alcohol, mold, and dairy are big time detox detractors. They either lower enzyme activity—interrupting the liver’s efforts to transform toxins into nontoxic metabolites—or are linked to a decreased absorption of necessary detox nutrients. They can also create internal inflammation that inhibits your body’s ability to burn fat, where most toxins are stored. Avoid them while dieting and/or detoxing, or you’ll increase your toxic load.
Here’s the inside story.
Saboteur #1. Excess fat, especially trans fats from margarine and processed and fried… Continue reading Are You Your Blood Type?

Your body knows best.
Quick, what’s your blood type? Are you an O, A, B, or AB?
I think that your blood type could be the missing link to why you are not losing weight and are vulnerable to certain diseases. Since I wrote my book Your Body Knows Best over fifteen years ago, I’ve come to believe that blood types have just as much to do with what not to eat as with what should be eaten. The answer lies in the lectin connection.
Blood types are part of the immune system… Continue reading Bouncing Off Cellulite

Rebounding moves sluggish lymph.
While the circulatory system carries nutrients, oxygen, and hormones to our cells, the lymphatic system is the body’s garbage disposal.
Its mesh-like network of tiny vessels transports lymph (fluid) from around the cells through the lymph nodes, where waste products are filtered out, unhealthy cells are trapped, and bacteria are destroyed. As it moves through the body, lymph also pulls fat out for transport to the liver. Protein and carbohydrates are left behind to travel via the bloodstream to nourish the body. To keep lymph moving, your body depends on the movement of your arms and… Continue reading Break the Yeast Cycle

Say goodbye to cravings, bloating, and possible thyroid problems.
Yeast is definitely nobody's BFF. But it can be with us for life—which is why I was so happy to finally read an article about yeast overgrowth on the front page of the Lifestyle section in the Spokesman Review. Yeast is finally getting the respect it deserves. And it’s about time because I believe nearly 50 million of us suffer from that subclinical fungus among us.
Yeast plays a very insidious role in weight gain—and can contribute to nearly 30 pounds of flab in some cases. Why? It's because yeast is… Continue reading Because You Asked: Fat Flush FAQs

Answers to help flush your fat and purge fluid buildup—with the best results.
You’ve got questions? I’ve got answers.
Q: Can I personalize The Fat Flush Plan a little, or do I have to adhere to it 100%?
ALG: Fat Flush is based on principles, rather than hard-and-fast dos and don'ts. So, the short answer is yes, you certainly can personalize this program. But, the more you can build your meals around Fat Flush elements—the fiber-rich Long Life Cocktail, hot water and lemon, lean protein (including Whey Protein and… Continue reading Surprising Secret, Allergies Are Linked to Gallstones

Relieve This Terrible Pain Without Surgery.
Considered by many to be more painful than childbirth, gallstones are a common problem in this country. If you experience sudden, intense pain in the upper right abdomen, just under the breastbone, near the right shoulder, or back pain between your shoulder blades, you may have gallstones.
Gallstones can range in size from tiny grains (like sand) to as big as golf balls. Pain can last for several minutes—or up to several hours. Ouch!
While it's not clear exactly what causes gallstones, doctors think cholesterol is a factor. Normally… Continue reading

Even Without Full-blown Celiac Disease, You'll Thrive On a Gluten-free Diet.
Approximately one in 133 Americans has celiac disease, caused by sensitivity to gluten (a protein in wheat and other grains). But most don't know it.
Experts estimate that many, many more of us are gluten intolerant. Trouble is the symptoms of this food sensitivity vary greatly and resemble signs of other diseases like colitis, IBS, or wheat allergy.
Clues that would make a gluten-free diet worth your while:
· Weight loss or gain
· Abdominal pain or problems (bloating, cramps, constipation, diarrhea, gas)
· Anemia and other… Continue reading
