Fat Flush Plan: Not Just another Diet
So, I was trying the "eating and listening to my body plan" and I gained 10 pounds. Is gaining weight one way to listen to my body? I think so. I did The Fat Flush Plan a long time ago and although there are no quick fixes, The Fat Flush Plan comes close. Written by Anne Louise Gittleman, she details how she researched high and low, and beyond the conventional answers to uncover the root cause of unexplained weight gain.
I have been following The Fat Flush Plan closely for the past five days and lost 7 pounds. Yesterday evening was my husband's birthday and I ate A LITTLE cake, ice cream, a hamburgurger bun, cheese, and croutons. I gained 6 pounds back immediately. Since there is no way the extra food I consumed weighed anywhere near six pounds, it brings me to one conclusion. Some foods make my body retain tons of water. So.....weight gain needs to be a way we listen to our bodies. The only way to know what is irritating my body is to do the Fat Flush Plan, which eliminates many offending foods from your diet for a certain amount of time, then allows you to add them back in slowly....to see which ones are irritiating you.
I thought all this time it was only about too many sweets over a period of time, or junk food. But for many, it could really be about how our bodies are reacting to the foods we eat. I am going to read the book this weekend and write an in depth analysis of what I read, and also what I observe in my own body for the next two weeks.
