Fat Flush Plan – Phase 2: Ongoing
After completing 2-4 weeks on the first phase, we can step up to Phase 2. You will still loose weight and maintain the cleansing momentum – but as a slower pace. There will be some changes.
First thing that will change, will be replacing the cran-water with pure spring water (Distilled or Reverse Osmosis). Water is the most natural and gentle cleansing agent. Cran-water is still necessary in the Long Life Cocktail and the hot water-lemon juice will help your kidneys continue their filtering tasks. This way, your liver can begin to metabolize its own waste products without having to do the work of the kidneys. As you know, metabolizing stored fat into energy is the liver’s most important function. More water is the ticket to accelerating you liver’s metabolic removal of stored fats, resulting is healthy weight loss.
The next change you’ll love. You will be adding one or two “friendly carbohydrates” back into your diet. This means, you can have toast-from real bread! There are two or three breads the author recommends. The first is a wheat-free, yeast-free spelt bread, made from sprouted grains and legumes, called HealthSeed Spelt. Sprouts (from grains and legumes such as organic lentils, millet, barley and soy) do not have the same biochemical components as mature plants. Although there is spelt flour in the bread and spelt is related to wheat, is contains less gluten. Thus, most wheat-sensitive individuals can tolerate it quite well. While these sprouted breads are not carb-free, the fact that the allergic component is neutralized probably accounts for the fact that most individuals can handle a slice without gaining an ounce. In fact, most individual’s look forward to biting into its chewy consistency and nut-like flavor. The bread has flax, pumpkin, and sunflower seeds-providing the crunch value Fat flushers seem to crave the most on this program.
Ezekiel 4:9 bread is another choice, which many readers had happily used for years. The creator of this bread, Ranier Bakery, based it on the Biblical verse Ezekiel 4:9 – “Take also unto thee wheat and barley and beans and lentils and millet and spelt, and put them in one vessel and make bread of it.” The bakery only uses organic grains and legumes in the original sprouting process. This process increases vitamins A and B as well as the minerals iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. The long sprouting breaks down the carbohydrates and proteins, making the bread easy to digest and assimilate.
The best bet is to add just one friendly carb, like a slice of toast in the morning. On day at a time and track the weight responses. See if there are any negative responses such as gas, bloating, sleepiness after eating or headaches.
The next week, add another friendly carb and noting your body’s responses. These carbohydrates are the ones most unlikely to precipitate insulin response or weight gain. They are also moderate in the glycemic index.
In the second week, you can also add sweet potatoes, green peas, cooked carrots, butternut squash or acorn squash. Start with just ¼ cup and make not of your reactions. If you experience any of the negative responses mentioned earlier or your clothes are a bit tight, cut out that food immediately.
