Reset metabolism for spring cleaning.
With swimsuit season just around the corner, it’s time to get your body bikini-ready. The latest research suggests some smart ways to turbo-charge weight loss in just a few weeks.
“Energy presented in liquid form can have satiating power,” says recent research in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. Adding fiber to low-carb foods helps suppress appetite and allows you to control what you eat.
A study in the New England Journal of Medicine reports that low-carb dieters lost 50% more weight by getting most of their protein from plant-based sources—compared with those who ate more meat. And a study at the University of California at Davis shows a 40% reduction in consumed calories when people eat more plant foods.
Current stats show that 73% of Americans are overweight or obese, and childhood obesity is a rising epidemic. Most people in this country have their work cut out for them long before swimsuit season arrives. And besides, just consider the laundry list of health issues associated with carrying around extra weight long-term: heart disease, hypertension, high cholesterol, stroke, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, reproductive complications, PCOS, sleep apnea, breathing problems, fluid retention, depression and the list goes on…
With warmer weather coming soon, there’s never been a better time to stop being a statistic and start living smart. And, the first step has never been easier – I’ve devised a quick and easy plan for you to “reset” your metabolism with cleaner and greener plant proteins!
After reading the study in the New England Journal of Medicine back in 2009, I designed a silk brown rice/yellow pea protein powder for my book Fat Flush for Life. Our original Smoothie Shakedown focus group took this protein for a “test drive,” and a turbo-charged Fat Flush program was born.
The Fat Flush Smoothie Shakedown takes the revolutionary Fat Flushing principles to the next level – It’s an amazingly simple but flexible program that’s perfect for people with a busy lifestyle. And unlike many weight loss programs, it’s inexpensive—costing less than $15 a day including food.
Basically, you’ll be nourished by two protein-rich smoothies, one satisfying meal (for dinner, or lunch if you prefer a larger meal earlier), delicious snacks, fortifying supplements, and cleansing liquids while purging the fats and toxic-laden fluids from your system. You’ll have a wealth of nutritious foods from which to choose, and Smoothie Shakedown recipes offer a wide variety of flavors.
Effective Weight Management
Because you’re eating every 4 hours, this weight loss plan is safe. And because the Smoothie Shakedown includes plenty of protein and filling fiber, you’re less likely to feel hungry.
Fiber-rich chia seeds and ground flax seeds—used in this program—are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which help balance blood sugar, lower cholesterol, and ramp up the body’s natural fat-burning process. Tossing a tablespoon or two into your smoothies will also help ensure better daily elimination.
Protein Power
A typical Shakedown smoothie uses 1 cup of berries, 1 scoop of Fat Flush Body Protein Powder (with one of the highest protein efficiency ratings available), 1 tablespoon of flaxseed oil or fish oil, and 8 to 10 oz. of cran-water. A gluten -and dairy- free blend of silk brown rice and yellow pea protein, Body Protein keeps your energy sustained for a good 4 hours while providing 20 grams of protein per serving.
While I don’t recommend that everyone go vegetarian, it’s clear that plant-based protein can jumpstart healthy weight loss. That’s one reason that Fat Flush for Life includes a vegetarian detox plan and Classic Fat Flush includes vegetarian options.
Everyone else can enjoy grass-fed beef, fish, lamb, poultry, or seafood in the daily meal, along with plenty of fiber-rich veggies (either cooked or in salads), and fresh fruit to help satisfy even the sweetest tooth. Like all Fat Flush programs, the Smoothie Shakedown also includes plenty of slimming spices like cayenne, cilantro, cinnamon, dill, garlic, mustard, parsley, and turmeric.
The Bottom Line
In our in-house Smoothie Shakedown study, women in our test group all lost between 5 and 20 pounds in just two weeks. But don’t just take our word for it—read Success Stories from Shakedown Fans like Nikole and Chris who both lost 17 pounds in only 14 days. If you have 50 pounds or more to lose, you can stick to the Smoothie Shakedown for a full month to get started and then move to Classic Fat Flush for continued weight loss—get the details on how long to Shakedown, and other common questions, here.

I have to eat low carb due to insulin resistance and PCOS. But sorry, eating plant protein didn’t work for me–only meat and eggs helped. I guess everyone is different. My biggest problem with the plan protein was that I was not getting near enough of the Vitamin B’s which is very important for me and my energy levels. Plus, the plant food just didn’t fill me like animal protein did.
That’s a good point, and that’s why I like the Smoothie Shakedown so much. I get to eat 2 eggs and 6 ounces of red meat, chicken or fish, AND the two servings of vegan protein in my smoothies. I was very satisfied and lost 12 pounds in two weeks!
I would like to ask what the difference is between the fat flush protein drink and the whey protein drink? Is one better than the other for losing weight? I have the whey protein powder and I purchased it mainly because I need more protein in my diet. Does the flat flush drink provide an equal amount of protein?
Thank you!
The Fat Flush Body Protein and the Fat Flush Whey both have 20 gm of protein per serving. They are both helpful for weight loss. The Whey helps with liver detoxing and muscle building. The Body Protein helps reset your metabolism and keeps you full a little longer.
I did Fat Flush a few years back and then noticed that after I drank the cranwater I got very itchy and had a small rash. I stopped drinking cranberry juice. What is a good substitute? I need something w very low sugar. Unfortunately I know I will not be getting the advantages of the cranberries but something else should have a good antioxidant benefit.
You could try pomegranate juice or even using 2 Tbs apple cider vinegar to a quart of water.
I used the The Body Protein last year and lost 20 lbs in 3 weeks, but I did not care for the taste or smell. I would like to try the Whey Protein and wondering if I would have the same results.
You can use the Whey Protein, but the Body Protein will keep you satisfied longer and research shows plant based protein helps to reset your metabolism. The Body Protein is now silkier and you may like it better.
