It's just so easy to go to fast food restaurants, out to dinner to your favorite restaurant, pick up something pre-packaged for dinner on the way home from work. If you're working 40 hours plus like most of us, have children and maybe a husband or significant other to feed, by the time you get home everyone's hungry and you don't have time or the desire to cook.

Unknowingly, unsuspectingly, never believing all this seed oil could harm us in more ways than calories, we consumed more and more of it in our foods until we've reached a health epidemic in the US. With Harvard reporting 3 out of 4 Americans have either chronic pain, a disease or depression, and with the seed oil link to inflammation established, it seems pretty conclusive, we are drowning in an over-abundance of seed oil. By the way, the statistics just two years ago was 2 out of 3 Americans. Now that's pretty scary.

The best article I've read to help understand the rise in inflammation and the link in diet-related disease is TIME's cover store, Inflammation, The Secret Killer. 2/04. Research has come a long way since that article to state what we know conclusively today - we need Omega 3 EPA DHA on a daily basis, in sufficient quantities, from a molecularly distilled source, to change the balance of fatty acids in our bodies. All we have to do is balance out the over-abundance from seed oil to a balanced ratio from Omega 3 fatty fish. For me, it felt like turning a hose on the fire within smoldering for a while until finally it was extinguished.

Cha De Bugre has long been used in Brazil for many reasons. Essentially it is used for energy and alertness. It can also help reduce your appetite and to control cellulite. It can be used as a stimulant to gain energy and it can help support a healthy heart.

Ch� de Bugre (Cordia ecalyculata), is a small tree 20-40 feet high and 1-2 feet in diameter with its origins in Brazil, though it also grows in other tropical parts of South America, such as Argentina and Paraguay.

The red cherry fruit resembles coffee beans, and thus Ch� de Bugre is also known as 'caf� do mato' (coffee of the woods). In small villages, you can still find many locals using it as a coffee substitute.

General HealthDoes The Fat Flush Diet Plan Work Or Is Just Another Fad?


The Fat Flush diet plan was devised by nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman who believes that the keys to being overweight are liver toxicity, waterlogged tissues, fear of eating fat, excess insulin, and stress. Despite Gittleman stating that her plan is ?as easy as 1-2-3?, the Fat Flush diet plan has been described by one reader as ?incredibly complex in its explanations and expectations of its followers?.

The Fat Flush diet plan instructs followers to avoid white flour, white sugar, margarine, vegetable shortening, artificial sweeteners and caffeine and emphasizes 8 ounces or more of protein including two eggs a day, healthy fats such as Omega 3 and 6, vegetables, spices, water, and 8 glasses a day of diuretic beverages.

Like the South Beach Diet and similar diet programs, the Fat Flush diet plan is divided into three phases with the first phase being extremely restrictive. In phase one of the Fat Flush diet plan, you are told to consume 1,100 to 1,200 calories a day, which for many people will be far less than what their body requires. You also eliminate grains, bread, cereal, starchy vegetables, dairy products, alcohol and oils/fats (except flax seed oil).

After two weeks on the Fat Flush diet plan, or four weeks if you have more than more than 25 pounds to lose, you gradually increase your calorie consumption and add healthy carbohydrates and dairy products while avoiding the bad foods mentioned while following certain rules, such as having one protein food with each meal, not eating vegetables and fruits together, not having milk and meat together, and not drinking water with meals.

The Fat Flush diet plan claims that it "melts fat from hips, waist and thighs in two weeks" and that it reshapes and detoxifies the body. However, there are no clinical studies to support the Fat Flush diet plan?s effectiveness for taking weight off and keeping it off. Detox diets usually have very little evidence to support their wild claims and most experts do not buy into the whole concept of ?fat flushing?.

Therese Franzese, M.S., R.D., director of nutrition at Chelsea Piers Sports Complex in New York City, says you cannot detox your liver or speed up your metabolism with specific foods. She also says that any weight loss that results from the Fat Flush diet plan stems solely from a calorie deficit.

In terms of physical activity and exercise, the Fat Flush diet plan recommends walking and bouncing on a mini-trampoline in the initial phases, with weight training coming in phase three. While I agree with the weight training recommendation, I'm left wondering how walking and a mini-trampoline, as the Fat Flush diet plan suggests, can be effective for a world where at least 400 million are obese.

Another factor to take into account is that the Fat Flush diet plan would be very challenging you are vegetarian or vegan as animal proteins play a big role in this diet. In addition, the Fat Flush diet plan can be costly since you have to shell out big bucks for supplements, powders, and oils, in addition to more fish and meat you may be used to buying.

In summary, the Fat Flush diet plan teaches some very important lessons such as the importance of drinking water, consuming healthy fats, eliminating junk carbs and caffeine, and limiting alcohol. However, like many diets the Fat Flush diet plan makes the mistake of recommending a low-carbohydrate and low-calorie initial phase which for many people can have lasting health consequences.
