    Flush Ann Louise Down the Toilet -Roger Mason

    There's an over the hill woman with a face lift named Ann Louise Gittleman who writes very bad books on diet and "health". Don't you just love women who use three names? One of these books is "Eat Fat, Lose Weight". No, I didn't make that up folks; she really wrote a book by that title. Dean Ornish wrote a fine book called "Eat More, Lose Weight", but he told you to eat more vegetables and less meat and fats. Old Ann Louise has now come up with The Fat Flush System. Yes sir, you can eat red meat and eggs and poultry and have a good old time with her new diet. Just “flush” that nasty old fat out of your body! 
     
    You should understand that she has uncovered "Five Hidden Weight Gain Factors". Here are the five main reasons you're really gaining weight and just couldn't figure it out: 1) your poor tired liver, 2) you're water logged, 3) you fear fat!, 4) you have too much insulin, and 5) your cortisol level is too high. You can now stop worrying about the fact you eat twice the calories you need,  twice the protein you need, and FIVE TIMES the fat you need, as well as the 160 pounds of sugars every year you don't need at all, as well as all that refined, chemicalized,  nutritionless food you hog down.. Ray Charles can see that the reason America is grossly obese is that we eat too much and eat the wrong foods. That's a “secret” that needs to be uncovered?  
     
    Louise does talk about eating flax oil to get omega-3 fatty acids and says this will help “flush” all that fat right out of your system. Why stick all that fat in your piehole in the first place? Now, I've been promoting flax oil to the skies and telling people about all the wonderful health benefits of flax oil and omega-3 fatty acids, but it isn't going to help you lose weight. Flax oil will help your cholesterol level and your heart metabolism and your arteries and all kinds of good things, but you aren't going to lose one single ounce of body weight even by drinking the stuff.  
     
    Be sure to drink Ann's Long Life Cocktail with cranberry juice and flaxseed so you'll live to be at least 100 years old. Be sure to buy organic beef, organic poultry, and organic eggs as they're very good for you unlike those old nasty store bought things that are full of saturated fat and cholesterol. Be sure not to eat any of those awful whole grains and cereals though. Don't even think of touching that terrible, fat producing brown rice, polenta, whole grain bread, oatmeal, buckwheat, barley, whole wheat pasta, corn on the cob or anything like that. I mean look at how fat those blubbery Japanese are- eating all that rice. Or those porcine Chinese people scarfing down rice all the time. Or those fat Mexicans porking out on tortillas all day. Compare them to all the skinny Americans who eat at McDonalds everyday. It seems she has it all bass ackwards. 
     
    We need people like Ann Louise Gittleman like we need more cancer. The sad part is that she used to work at the Pritikin Clinic in California where people with heart problems got miraculous results. They only did two things there- low fat diet with lots of whole grains and vegetables, and walking. That's all, and miracles occurred. It's pathetic that people actually buy books like this and listen to people like her. She's been blabbing about diet for decades and you would think she would be totally and absolutely discredited by now. Look at Robert Atkins and you'll see that the more you tell people what they want to hear the more successful you are. Just tell them what they want to hear and they'll ignore the fact none of it works. Suzanne Somers has been on the Atkins Diet for years, is obese, has breast cancer, a hysterectomy, and gets fatter every year despite more than $100,000 in plastic surgery and liposuction. See the two articles on her.  
     
    Why do Ann's magazine articles promote name brands such as Hain oil, Spectrum flaxseed, Mori-Nu tofu, Knudsen's juice, White Wave tempeh and Naturade whey? Don't tell me there's a commercial connection here? I sure hope there's no financial reasons for doing anything that would detract from objectivity or anything. God forbid.
