What Can I Eat on a Fat Flush Diet?
- The diet includes the incorporation of the following foods: 8 oz. daily of lean protein such as lean meat, eggs and fish; fruits and vegetables; omega-3-rich fats such as flaxseed oil; metabolism-increasing spices such as ginger, cayenne, mustard and cinnamon; the "long life cocktail" made up of of 1 tsp. of powdered psyllium husks or 1 tbsp. of ground or milled flaxseed in 8 oz. of half cranberry juice, half water; a gamma linolenic acid, GLA, supplement.
- Rules of following the diet are as follows: only one protein item per meal (except eggs); do not combine fruits and vegetables; do not combine milk and meat; drink fluids between meals only, not during meals; eat once every three hours.
- Three phases make up the diet. Phase 1 consists of a very restrictive detoxification diet that lasts for two weeks. Phase 2 is less restrictive and is continued until a desired weight is reached. Phase 3 is a general low-carbohydrate diet of maintenance and moderation that is to be carried over into eating habits after the diet is finished.
