The Fast Track One-Day Detox Diet by Ann Louise Gittleman M.S. (2005, Hardcover)

Ann Louise Gittleman, creator of the New York Times bestselling Fat Flush Plan and named one of the country’s top ten nutritionists by Self magazine, again breaks new ground in America’s constant battle for weight control. The Fast Track One-Day Detox Diet is the first crash diet that not only works in the long run, it’s also good for you.

Conventional wisdom holds that crash dieting leads to regaining more weight than was lost, destroying the metabolism along the way, but Gittleman has discovered a proven method for losing weight more quickly than usual and keeping it off. Why do a one-day fast? Harmful toxins accumulated over many years can make the body fat and the metabolism slow. The Fast Track One-Day Detox Diet combines the benefits of detox with quick weight loss, leaving those who follow the plan with a slimmer body and a brighter glow. This one-day detox diet offers tremendous flexibility: for those over forty who want to lose a few pounds quickly and jump-start their metabolism, there’s one plan. For “cheaters” (those who just can’t stay on a diet, which is to say most of us), there’s no falling off the wagon—Ann Louise shows readers how to have their cake and detox it too. And for those who need to lose a great deal of weight or are dealing with chronic conditions, The Fast Track One-Day Detox Diet can help the body start on its way to healing.

The plan itself is blissfully simple:
The Prequel: seven days of adding healthy foods to your diet to prepare your body
The Fast: one day of sipping Gittleman’s “Miracle Juice,” a mixture of herbs and spices specially designed to stave off hunger, balance blood sugar, and boost metabolism
The Sequel: three days of reintroducing healthy foods to emerge from the fast safely

The book includes testimonials, recipes, and tips for making it through that one day without food.

Certain to garner attention from the media and thanks from successful dieters, The Fast Track One-Day Detox Diet is a whole new way to think about weight loss.
