The
Fat Flush
Plan
Theory:
The Fat Flush Plan’s
mission is to increase metabolism, flush out bloat, and speed up fat loss.
This diet program eliminates all weight loss-inhibiting foods and
beverages such as white flour, white sugar, margarine, vegetable
shortening, artificial sweeteners, and caffeine.
The weight loss program includes herbs and spices as powerful diet
aids that accelerate metabolism, assist digestion, improve insulin and
glucose levels, remove water weight, and protect against disease.
