CSoar2004,
What does it do? Did you buy the fat-flush book? What's it like? Low-cal? Low carb?
Thanks!

CSoar2004,
What does it do? Did you buy the fat-flush book? What's it like? Low-cal? Low carb?
Thanks!Ya want the long answer or the summary? Great, I'll cut to the chase. :D (Cause you can get the book for the long answer :jester: )
Cranwater is a powerful diuretic and helps pull water out of waterlogged cells so that it can be eliminated through the kidneys. The flavonoids in cranberry juice also help flush away cellulite by improving the "strength and integrity of the connective tissue" while helping the lymphatic system function smoothly.
It's important to use unsweetened 100% cranberry juice and not the ocean spray variety (Or any other juice that lists grape juice, fructose, etc., in the ingredients).

The Fat Flush Plan is a low carb eating plan (40/30/30) with an emphasis on improving liver (the body's major fat processor) performance and speeding up the metabolism to burn fat more efficiently. Phase 1 is kinda strict (but only lasts for 2 weeks). Phase 2 is the long term weight loss phase. Phase 3 is the maintenance phase. If I had to characterize the foods emphasized by the FFP it would be these: fresh whole veggies, low glycemic fruit, lean protein, lots of water, 2 Tbsp Flax seed oil (daily), whole grains. It is a healthy way to eat for life.

Ya don't hafta count calories. There is NO induction phase (in fact, ketosis is NOT a goal of the FFP!). There is no points system. :D :p ;) (this is good 'cause I'm math-impaired!)

I lost 50 pounds in 5 months on FFP :jester: AND went from size 18 to size 8. I feel 20 years younger (and I'm not EVEN telling how old my inner brat is! :eek: :D

HI , WERE DO YOU GET THIS 100% CARNBERRY JUICE. I LOOKED IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT STORES AND ONLY CAME ACROSS OCEAN SPRAY OR GENERIC BRANDS. I WANT TO BUT IT SO LET ME KNOW WHAT STORE TO BUY IT FROM AND WHAT IS THE COST ON A BOTTLE? I HAVE JUST ORDERED THE BOOK FOR THE FFP.. I AM READY T GET STARTED BUT WANTED TO TRY THIS WATER AND CRANBERRY JUICE THING. PROBLEM IS I CANT SEEM TO FIND THE 100% CRANBERRY JUICE WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE BOTTLE OF THE 100% CRANBERRY JUICE. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED THANKS

Hi Coolstars-
I buy Tree of life 100% cranberry concentrate from my local health food store (check out your yellow pages for the nearest health food store to you). You can also buy it online. I have seen Knudsens' Just Cranberry juice at larger chain groceries in their health food sections. Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and other chains also carry 100% cranberry juice. The cost really varies. Trader Joe's often has the best price.
The concentrate that I use lasts me about 3 weeks and costs $15-17/bottle (cheaper than my old soda pop habit!!). When using CONCENTRATE (vs juice), you only need 3 Tablespoons to 64 oz water to make the appropriate cranwater.
I hope this helps!

HI csoar2004, YES THIS WILL SURE HELP I WILL BE SURE TO LOOK FOR IT THIS WEEKEND, DO YOU KNOW IF GNC CARRIES IT? MY LOCAL STORES ARE JEWEL, CUBFOODS, KMART, DOMINCKS, AND WALMART. ANYHOW YOU SAID YOUR LAST 3 WEEKS. DO YOU TAKE THIS CARNBERRY /WATER EVERY DAY? THANKS SO MUCH I REALLY APPREICATE YOUR QUCIK RESPONSE..

GNC does carry an 8oz bottle of cranberry concentrate. It lasts about 1 week. Yep, you drink 64 oz of cranwater every day during Phase 1. You may drink additional plain water on top of that.
Just to make sure you understand - you can either use unsweetened cranberry juice CONCENTRATE (3 Tablespoons to 64 oz water) OR unsweetened cranberry JUICE (8oz juice to 56 oz water).
Again, I urge you to check out your local (probably small and you've never been in it - lol) health food store. They not only probably carry the juice AND the juice concentrate, but no doubt the other components you will need to do Fat Flush (high lignan flax seed oil such as Barleans, Spectrum, or Health from the Sun, flax seed, high quality multivitamin, etc.).
CAVEAT: NEVER buy unrefrigerated flax seed oil. It's fragile stuff and should be found in the refrigerated section of the store. Keep it in your fridge or freezer when you get home.

HI CHARLI , YES YOU BEEN A GREAT HELP. THANKS SO MUCH. I SHOULD BE GETTING THE BOOK AND COOK BOOK HERE SOON SO I WILL BE IN THE BOOKS :) BUT ON THE BOARDS TO SEE AND HEAR ALL THE RESULTS OTHERS ARE HAVEING AS WELL ITS A GREAT MOTIVATION. CHARLI WITH THE FAT FLUSH PLAN HAVE YOU REACHED YOUR GOAL? AND HOW LONG DID IT TAKE? HOW MUCH WAS LOST? THANKS AGAIN ;)

CHARLI WITH THE FAT FLUSH PLAN HAVE YOU REACHED YOUR GOAL? Yep!! :D AND HOW LONG DID IT TAKE? HOW MUCH WAS LOST? THANKS AGAIN ;) I flushed 50 pounds and 23 inches in the first 5 months. The last few pounds took a couple more months. What is even more amazing to me, is how FF has resculpted my body. :eek:
Let me explain.
When I last weighed 150 pounds, I wore size 14 clothes (had lots of cellulite, too! :( ). Now that I weigh 146, I wear size 8 !!! (and NO cellulite :D ) Now even if you figure that female clothes sizes have been "supersized" but "vanity labeled" in the last 15 years or so, :D I figure size 8 today is at least equivalent to size 10.
Wahooooooooooooo! I'm happy dancin' on the inside, I tell you what! :bouncing:
When I reached my goal weight (150 and wearing size 10) and moved to Phase 3, FF continued shaving off inches. I've been in P3 for over 6 months and now wear size 8 comfortably. Probably the biggest adjustment I've had to make is when I was 80+ pounds overweight, I wasn't cold. These days, I'm cold a lot and I've had to re-learn how to dress for the weather. :rolleyes:
I love that!

give it a try

hi csoar2004 , got the book like a week ago and been doing lots of reading of the fat flush plan. now i have some questions for you in phase one looks like that only last 2 weeks so how long do i stay on phase 2? also there are so man vitamins and pills need for this program. i see the web site in her book where you can buy them but can you buy these cheaper anywhere esle?
also what is the flaxseed ? is it a pill or an actually seed? and how do i take those? and where do i buy those from? i thought it would be an easy plan to follow i didnt know pills and all i had to take for this ffp plan so hopeing you can help. on the web site for 3 bottles needed for the ffp this program is like $64.00 .
let me know if and where i can find them cheaper and look forward to your response. thanks

hi csoar2004, got the book like a week ago and been doing lots of reading of the fat flush plan. now i have some questions for you in phase one looks like that only last 2 weeks so how long do i stay on phase 2?Phase 1 is for reving up the metabolism and cleaning out the liver. Phase 2 is for long term weight loss. You stay on P2 as long as you need to in order to get to your goal weight. Generally, you return to P1 every 3 months or so for another detox.also there are so many vitamins and pills need for this program. i see the web site in her book where you can buy them but can you buy these cheaper anywhere esle?Whoa! Actually, all you need is flax seed, flax seed oil, GLA (either Evening Primrose oil, Borage oil, or my fave - black currant seed oil), and unsweetened cranberry juice.
You COULD take some liver support herbs/supplements if you like. I did FF for 2 months with NO supplements whatsoever and lost nearly 30 pounds (Had a lot to lose! :( ) and because I'm stubborn (not to mention a slow learner) once I decided to take the supplements, I tried finding them locally. Boy howdy! That was way more expensive than just buying the FFkit from Unikey! :eek: also what is the flaxseed ? is it a pill or an actually seed? and how do i take those? and where do i buy those from? Flax seed AND flax seed oil are necessary for the plan. You can buy milled flax seed (for use in the long life cocktail) - yep, it's really just seed! -from GNC in a gold vacuum package, or you can get FiProFlax or FortiFlax from a health food store. Ditto the Flax seed oil. Check with your nearest health food store, in their refrigerated section. I favor Barlean's brand myself! ;) I thought it would be an easy plan to follow i didnt know pills and all i had to take for this ffp plan so hopeing you can help.Let's clear up something. All you need to do the plan is:
1) Milled or coarsely ground flax seed (a fiber source) for the morning and evening long life cocktail. Ready to use brands are Health from the Sun's FiProFlax or Barlean's FortiFlax or GNC's gold package flax seed.
2) High lignan flax seed oil (Barleans or Spectrum or Health from the Sun brands) for 2 tablespoons per day. This oil is found in refrigerated sections of health food store (or health food section of large chain grocery store).
3) GLA (black currant seed, borage, or evening primrose oils) for a total daily dose of 360-400mg of GLA (I get my black currant seed oil capsules from vitaminlife. google it. here's the UPC code for the black currant: 4064700603. You can also get Tree of Life cranberry juice concentrate and other FF stuff there.)
4) unsweetened cranberry juice or unsweetened cranberry juice concentrate for the 64 oz daily cranwater (Knudsen's Just Cranberry Juice and Tree of Life's unsweetened cranberry juice concentrate are common brands).
A high quality multivitamin (you should be taking one REGARDLESS of your diet, babe! ;) ) is strongly recommended but not required.

I strongly recommend that you buy whey protein, too, because the smoothies are delish! Currently FF acceptable brands include Jay Robb's vanilla or strawberry flavors, Designer Whey - french vanilla only, Solgar's Whey to Go vanilla bean, FF whey (from author's website) all flavors, Natureade's veggie protein booster, unflavored. (you can get the solgar's whey @ vitaminlife, too. OR the designer whey can be found at most GNC's).

In order to start flushing fat, just follow the eating guidelines on pages 54-57. The menus following that are simply a suggestion and NOT a straightjacket!

Don't worry about doing the plan perfectly when you start. Trust me here, EVERYONE makes some mistakes. The cool thing is that FFP is pretty forgiving and still works. ;) Gotta love that!

best wishes and happy flushing!

HI CHARLI, WHAT ABOUT THE FAT BURNING PILLS? DID YOU TAKE THOSE AS WELL. AND WHERE CAN I GET THOSE.? THANKS FOR ALL YOUR INFO ITS GREATLY APPRCIATED. I AM ON A GOOD VITAMIN RIGHT NOW THAT I PAY $19.99 FOR A BOTTLE .. DO YOU KNOW OF A GOOD VITAMIN AND WHAT THE NAME BRAND IS? MINE ARE HIGH IN PRICE AND I CAN ONLY HOPE THEY ARE GOOD FOR THAT PRICE :) . ANYHOW ITS IS A GREAT BOOK AND I PLAN TO START SOON HERE ONCE I GET ALL THE STUFF I NEED FOR IT..
LOOKS LIKE I NEED TO MAKE A TRIP TO VITAMINWORLD OR SOMETHING.
THANKS AND KEEP IN TOUCH...

LOOKS LIKE I NEED TO MAKE A TRIP TO VITAMINWORLD OR SOMETHING.
THANKS AND KEEP IN TOUCH... The FFP doesn't use a fat burning pill per se. In the FF kit from Unikey is a liver support blend of herbs and minerals called "weight loss formula." On page 188 is a list of supplements, vitamins, herbs you COULD take if you were so inclined (yah, many of them are in the weight loss formula or the multivitamin).
To be frank, I found it much cheaper and less time consuming to buy the FF kit (tried pulling stuff together on my own and probably spent twice as much. :eek: ). I am currently taking the female multiple from Unikey. However I think probiotics has a good multiple vitamin, too. I'm a supplement novice myself and not too conversant with all the choices.
Because I live so far from civilization as we know it (it takes me an hour one way to get to town), I buy a lot of stuff online. My current fave source is vitaminlife 'cause they only charge 4.95 for shipping no matter what you order and their prices for stuff are 1/4-1/3 less than store price. ;)

hi charlie :wave: , ok just so i make sure i order everything correct for the ffp . i have the correct cranberry juice as i went over and read the book page. now if i order the ff package what else is needed for this program i want to make sure i have everything that is needed. what is ground flax seed and where can i buy that on line? i am confused cause there is flax seed ground and flax seed oil i need both correct?? let me know .. i am trying to buy everything so i can get started thanks charlie and llok forward to your reply.. ;)

what is ground flax seed and where can i buy that on line? You can buy it locally from a health food store or from the health food section of a large chain grocery OR from a GNC center. From GNC, you want the gold vacuum package of flax seed. Otherwise, in the stores' refrigerated sections, look for FortiFlax (from Barleans - you can also get it direct from their website) or FiProFlax (from Health From the Sun).

You also need a high lignan flax seed oil (same thing as flax oil), too. Again, popular brands are Barleans, Spectrum, or Health from the Sun. Flax oil should be found in refrigerated sections. (NEVER buy Flax seed oil which is out on the shelf, unrefrigerated!)

HI CHARLIE, SO BOTH THE FLAX SEED GROUND AND FLAX SEED OIL IS FOUND IN THE REFRIGERATED AREAS OF THE STORE,? CAN I ASK WHERE AT I NEVER HEARD OF THESE AND WOULDNT EVEN KNOW WHERE IN THE REFRIGERATED AREA TO LOOK. I MEAN IS IT BY THE DAIRY OR ETC?? WHAT ARE THEY USUALLY BY IN THE REFIRGERATED AREAS? THIS WAY I CAN GO STARIGHT TO THE REFRIGERATED AREA AND FIND WHAT I NEED. I SEEN UNIKEY SELLS THE FLAX OIL BUT I DONT KNOW IS THAT THE RIGHT ONE? I WOULD RATHER JUST FIND IT AT THE STORES . SO DROP ME A REPLY WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE AND LET ME KNOW ABOUT WHERE THEY WOULD BE I MEAN BY THIS BY DAIRY OR ETC??? THANKS AGAIN CHARLIE GOSH I CANT WAIT TO START,. :rolleyes:

THANKS AGAIN CHARLIE GOSH I CANT WAIT TO START,. :rolleyes: Here's what you do, you take your book with you to the HEALTH FOOD STORE. You point to this line on page 54 "OIL. Daily intake: 1 tablespoon twice daily of organic high-lignan flaxseed oil." You want the OIL and NOT capsules. You want Barlean's or Spectrum or Health from the Sun brands of high lignan flax seed oil.
The store employee will either direct you to the appropriate section of the store or take you there. I honestly can't tell you where to look because small health food stores are likely to put it anywhere in the store (yes! in the fridge!). And I've yet to fathom the thought processes of the large grocery chain stores.
While you're chatting with the employee, ask where you can find FortiFlax or FiProFlax milled flax seed. Mostly likely both will be sitting in the fridge right next to the flax seed oil. ;)
Relax. Do. Stress leads to weight gain :eek:

CHARLIE, THAT Fat Flush Whey Protein IS THAT TO BE TAKEN WITH MILK OR WATER OR DO YOU JUST ADD IT IN THE FOOD YOU EAT? JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW YOU TAKE IT BEFORE I ORDER IT. THANKS

Hi Charlie , Do You Also Use The Psyllium For The Ffp .? From What I Read I Think You Can Take This Instead Of The Flax Seeds Is This Correct? Let Me Know Thanks

I am going to be starting "The Master Cleanse" as of tomarrow 5/16/04. It's the first time that I've found something that will not cost me tons of money and is very healthy for my body. I'll let you know how it goes

Hi Charlie , Do You Also Use The Psyllium For The Ffp .? From What I Read I Think You Can Take This Instead Of The Flax Seeds Is This Correct? Let Me Know Thanks I use ground flax seeds. Psyllium gives me gas :eek: But you are correct, either one may be used. How you doing?

charlie , how do you take the flax seeds alone or in a drink or ? let me know . thanks

I have one tablespoon ground flax seed in my first cranwater (that's the long life cocktail). I just swirl and drink. In Fat Flush, the long life cocktail is the "scrub" and the hot lemon water is the "flush" :D

bottoms up!

hi charlie not sure if you read this part just to get this correct are you allowed to take the flax seeds and the psyllium ? or just one or the other?
when you get a chance let me know thanks

p.s ya it easy to get banned.. bummer...

one or the other, coolstars. You don't need both. [;)]

HI CHARLIE :wave: , THANKS FOR THE QUICK REPLY..

GNC does carry an 8oz bottle of cranberry concentrate. It lasts about 1 week. Yep, you drink 64 oz of cranwater every day during Phase 1. You may drink additional plain water on top of that.
Just to make sure you understand - you can either use unsweetened cranberry juice CONCENTRATE (3 Tablespoons to 64 oz water) OR unsweetened cranberry JUICE (8oz juice to 56 oz water).
Again, I urge you to check out your local (probably small and you've never been in it - lol) health food store. They not only probably carry the juice AND the juice concentrate, but no doubt the other components you will need to do Fat Flush (high lignan flax seed oil such as Barleans, Spectrum, or Health from the Sun, flax seed, high quality multivitamin, etc.).
CAVEAT: NEVER buy unrefrigerated flax seed oil. It's fragile stuff and should be found in the refrigerated section of the store. Keep it in your fridge or freezer when you get home.

yoohoo! Coolstars! How you doin?

yoohoo! Coolstars! How you doin?

HEY CSOAR2004 , I AM DOING GREAT,, WELL FIRST 4 DAYS EXAUSTED FROM DOING THE PROGRAM BUT NOW I AM FINE.. I THINK I AM LOOSIENG WEIGHT BUT WANT TO WEIGH MYSELF IN ANOTHER WEEK OR SO. CUZ I AM THE TYPE IF I DONT SEE ANY WEIGHT LOSS I GET DEPRESSED AND START UP AGAIN WITH EATING THE BAD FOODS. I WAS ON HERBALIFE BEFORE THIS SO I AM NOT USE TO TAKEING IN SMALL PORTIONS. EVEN DAY WHEN I AM NOT EVEN HUNGRY. I FEEL GOOD THOUGH HAD TO GET USE TO THE CRANWATER NOW I CAN DRINK IT LIKE ITS WATER.. LOL I USUALLY DONT WEGH MYSELF BUT EVERY 2-3 WEEKS NOW SO I DONT GET DOWN IF I DONT SEE ANY WEIGHT COMEING OFF.. ANY HOW , HOW ARE YOU DOING ARE YOU STILL ON THE FFP ?
LET ME KNOW AND KEEP IN TOUCH, COOLSTARS.. ;)

hoooooooboy, the first few days of a detox can be hard! ;) I'm glad you're feeling better now, though.
Don't forget that you get to have unlimited quantities of the P1 veggies (except for carrots & olives) and you can eat 'em anywhere, anywhen, anyhoo! In ADDITION eat 8 oz (cooked wt!) lean protein, 2 eggs, whey protein smoothie EVERY DAY! :p
It's best to eat something every 2-3 hours. The P1 menus are simply a suggested "how to" and NOT a straight jacket "MUST do" :D Stick to the eating protocols on pages 54-57 and before you know it, your clothes will be veddy veddy loose. :)
Ohh, that reminds me, it's GREAT that you're not scale-hopping right now, but you SHOULD measure yourself (For a baseline). I found with FF, the inches were often melting away even when I was in a temporary weight loss pause.

Yes, I'm still following the FFP. I've been in Phase 3 (lifestyle phase) for about <counting on fingers> 8-9 months. When I started P3 last fall, I could wear size 10. These days I'm in size 8. :D How can you NOT love a program that does that for ya??!

PS - I LOoooooooooove the cranwater and still drink it the P1 way (vs the P3 way :cool: )

best wishes and happy flushing,

csoar2004 , hey there thanks for all the info.. its a great help..
one problem i am haveing is useing the flax seeds. i mix them in the cranwater as you do and use a spoon to mix them with and a few minutes later they are all at the bottom of the cup... any suggestions would be a great help.. thanks coolstars . do have my measurements so i will meausure in like a week or so and see whats up. however wont be able to say how many pounds lost cause its not allowed and you will get banned. so i will just let you know if its working or not. but i can tell i am looseing inches forsure.. alo how do you drink your smoothies? with water only as it says or do you add fruits? :) thanks again

one problem i am haveing is useing the flax seeds. i mix them in the cranwater as you do and use a spoon to mix them with and a few minutes later they are all at the bottom of the cup... any suggestions would be a great help. I'm a fan of swirl & gulp, m'self :p I mix the flax seeds in the cran water, swirl to keep the seeds suspended, and gulp. :jester:

Here's a favorite smoothie recipe:

Very Berry Smoothie

1 cup frozen berries (I like the triple berry mixture from Costco)
1 scoop whey protein
1 Tablespoon flax seed oil
dash of cinnamon
dash of stevia plus
8 oz cranwater

put it all in a blender and blend until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Taste ..adjust spices and stevia. Inhal--er--drink! lol
This makes at least 16 oz of delish smoothie! :D

If you'd LIKE to discuss weight loss we could always carry on our conversation down in the weight loss board. ;) Just a thought!

csoar2004 , thanks for the GREAT idea on the smothie . :bouncing: sure we can go to the weighloss boards just let me know and we can switch over there..
did you take the weight loss pills also from the fat flush kit ? and let me know did you do alot exercise on the ffp plan? let me know thanks

Look for it.
I was too stubborn to buy the FF kit for at least 4-5 months (thought I could do it cheaper locally. Did I mention I'm more stubborn than bright?? :confused: ) I started the weight loss formula about 6 months after starting FF. It's really a blend of herbs and vitamins that support the liver AND rev up the metabolism.
My exercise is a pilates mat workout (every morning) in P1 (gentle exercise only, 'cause it's pretty stressful) and in P2 & 3 I added bicycle riding 4-5 days a week (15-25 miles per day). I asked Santa for a rebounder for Christmas and he didn't come through. :(
