As part of my Fat Flush plan, the first thing a person has in the morning is a laxative known as psyllium husks, and they take cranberry drinks as a diuretic.
Haas: I recommend fiber, vitamin C, other antioxidants, chlorophyll, and glutathione, mainly as amino acid L-cysteine. Herbs such as garlic, red clover, Echinacea, or cayenne are also part of my detoxification program (Haas 2008:8). The Master Cleanse, which I recommend, makes use of lemonade and maple syrup.
Gittleman: The problem I have with the Master Cleanse and other 'simple fasts' that basically cut calories is that yes, they cause quick weight loss, but because they release the stored-up environmental toxins from processed foods into the body, this can cause a harmful shock to the dieter's system. Besides, these toxins are reabsorbed by the body when the person starts fasting quickly, especially if the person is a chronic dieter, as the dieter's slow metabolism desperately searches for fuel. This is why my plan has three stages. During the first stage before the flush, allergenic and toxic environmental substances are eliminated, so they leach slowly from the body. This prepares the body for the serious flush, which is then followed by introducing some healthy carbohydrates and low-fat dairy products back into the diet.
Question
Interviewer: Does gender have a significant impact on a dieter's ability to lose weight?
Gittleman: Absolutely! So many women diet throughout their lives, and by the time they hit menopause they have been dieting for so long they have impeded their body's natural ability to burn calories for fuel. Their bodies are in famine mode, and burning as few calories as possible, just to stay alive. It is necessary to kick-start the metabolism with...
Women must understand that fat is not the enemy and that it is a natural and necessary nutrient vital to survival. To introduce fat back into the diet of chronic female dieters I prescribe flaxseed oil.
Haas: Every dieter must deal with his or her own idiosyncrasies, regardless of gender. Dieters have different metabolisms based on their age and activity level as well as gender and body composition and weight. The problem I have with some of Gittleman's advice is that she stresses a very low calorie diet plan for all dieters, regardless of age and gender. Perhaps her initial 1,100 calorie flush might be helpful, but she also recommends 1,500 calories as a maintenance plan. I would want to review the patient's general health history and history of allergies and environmental toxins before prescribing a long-term meal plan. I also advocate eating seasonally more than Dr. Gittleman. A dieter and a diet doctor must be flexible according to the needs of the dieter's body and the needs of the season.

Weight Watchers was founded in 1963 by Jean Nidtech, in Queens, NY, and has built up a track record of over 40 years of helping people lose weight. The company has been built on the philosophy that "dieting is just one part of long-term weight management," and therefore has built an entire weight loss system around its food products. The company has been able to grow to popularity on the

Loss Leaders A Sony NEX camera was on sale for $250 at Best Buy, as I gleaned from the newspaper insert. The price was fully half of what it was being offered for at other stores, even though it was a brand new camera. Surely this was one of their loss leaders, a pricing strategy that has "a history of bringing return customers, increased sales and new customers," (Griffin, 2012). Truthfully,
