Monica's Success Story

2010-07-30T16:27:00.000-07:00

Monica's On a New Chapter of Life!

"Wow, One month later and I feel like a new woman! Not only have I gotten my figure back (or at least most of it), but I am inhabiting my body, my health, and my world in a healthier way. I feel clearer, lighter, and more receptive to life in general. The Fat Flush Smoothie Shakedown has helped me immensely as I pack up my current life and head towards my next chapter...

...The smoothies were (are) a valuable piece for recognizing my food issues. They helped me stay accountable to myself when I’d want to reach for a snack--not out of hunger, but rather out of comfort or not wanting to feel the emotions trying to surface. They will continue to be a regular part of my diet as I learn to stay within the Fat Flush guidelines, especially guidelines around fat intake. In the past I ate an abundance of “good fat”--but I see now that in my over-consumption I created a very sluggish liver and cellulite-laden hips. My liver, lymph, digestive system, and body are very thankful for the change!

Food and breath are by far the most intimate relationships we will ever have with ourselves and our planet. Trimming off these couple inches of pure holding and fat everywhere off my body is only a microcosm of the ways our societies need to trim holdings and excesses of consumption from our lives. I am making more conscious choices around food, more conscious interactions with others, and am more conscious in my blueprint with this planet by what I eat and how I live. Every time I eat anything, there is a direct correlation with my relationship with this planet. Every time I eat anything, there is a direct correlation with how I digest and assimilate everything happening in my life. There is nothing more refreshing than knowing that I am--as consciously as possible in this moment--resting in alignment within myself that I am contributing to a healthier, happier planet by first being a healthier, happier me.

Thank you Ann Louise, and all you at UNI KEY, for making this "experiment" such a fun and easy way to take me to my next level of food consciousness!"

Dave's Success Story

2010-07-30T14:35:00.000-07:00

Dave's Transforming Inside and Out!

"As I come to the end of my 30 days on the Fat Flush Smoothie Shakedown, I feel completely revived on many different levels of my life and being. Yes, I've lost weight and girth, and feel so much better about myself as a result. Yes, I feel I am now crystal clear on how to approach my diet and health in the future - which is such a huge relief! However, beyond these I have also regained a tremendous amount of energy, vitality, clarity and zest for my entire life.

With this sense of being revitalized, I am charting and acting on fairly dramatic changes in my home, career, hobbies and other life passions. Underneath all these is the realization that, perhaps more than any other aspect of our lives, it is what we imbibe--our daily diet--that really determines who we are.

They say "as a man/woman thinketh so he/she is," and that "we are what we eat." Well, based on my experience over this last month, I would have to say that it's what we eat that is the primary determining factor around the quality of our lives. It sounds simplistic to say it but just by changing my diet I feel I have re-energized myself to such a degree that I am thinking and seeing life anew. Because of this fundamental shift I am naturally and easily unleashing a personal transformation that I believe will continue to reshape my life for many years to come.

By detoxing and clearing the chemicals and ceasing to take in any more, my mind is now more clear, my energy feels lighter, and I feel like I simply am able to resonate with a healthier way of living and being. The quality of the food and other UNI KEY supplements I have been taking on the Fat Flush Diet have not only improved my health, but I feel they have been shifting the energetic "frequency" of my being, allowing me to tune in to a much lighter way of living and being. Thank you to Ann Louise Gittleman and to UNI KEY for creating this program and for developing and distributing these wonderful products. "

"One week into the Smoothie Shakedown I lost 10 lbs. Within a month I lost 15 lbs and 9 inches! I'm getting lots of compliments from my friends and co-workers asking what I am doing. The shakes just work for me, keep me full and I love it because it's easy and I'm getting my 20 grams of protein at each meal.

Sierra's Shakin' It Down!

2010-06-30T16:40:00.000-07:00

"Over the last year I have picked up some bad habits as far as eating goes. When I heard about Fat Flush and the Smoothie Shakedown, I knew it was just the thing to set me straight. After the two week program, I have lost 12 pounds and 7 1/2 inches! The weight even came off those hard-to-lose spots like my waist, tummy, and hips. And above all, the Smoothie Shakedown has totally changed the way I think and feel about food...I've lost weight and gained willpower! I've conquered cravings once and for all, and now I prefer to eat fresh fruit and veggies and have actually lost my taste for the unhealthy carbs I would grab in the past. I feel so much healthier - I wake up in the morning and feel great inside and out. I can’t wait to continue on with Fat Flush in order to reach my goal!"

17 lbs lost in 2 weeks...incredible!

2010-05-21T10:36:00.000-07:00

"I'm so proud of how far I've come! I could NOT have done this without the Smoothie Shakedown! The Body Protein and the Fat Flush Kit as well as the Fat Flush Plan by Dr. Ann Louise have changed my life in the last 3 months. If you'd have asked me at Christmas if I could look like I do now, I'd have told you I NEVER could have gotten here, and here I am. I lost 17 lbs and 17 inches in 2 weeks on the Smoothie Shakedown alone and have lost a total of 23 lbs and 23.5 inches since I've progressed to the Fat Flush Plan Phase 2. I'm confident that the last 15 lbs will vanish in just as easily. Everyone I work with has been amazed at my transformation so much so that two of my coworkers are going to do the Smoothie Shakedown as well. It's also amazing that since starting the Smoothie Shakedown and then progressing to Phase 2 of the Fat Flush Plan I've been able to stop my 8-10 a day ibuprofen habit that was required to keep the arthritis in my back from being unbearable. Within 5 days after starting the Smoothie Shakedown I was able to move and live with NO pain and NO ibuprofen. I'm convinced it is the quality of the supplements and protein powder combined with the diet that has rendered me pain-free. Thank you Dr. Ann Louise and thank you UNI KEY! I'll sing your praises to anyone and everyone that will listen.

Fat Flush Body Protein Reviews

2010-03-25T10:19:00.000-07:00

Here's what everyone's saying about Fat Flush Body Protein - the popular staple of the Smoothie Shakedown!

“I have tried other Whey Protein Powders in the past. The Body Protein is by far the best tasting and best feeling one. I have an increase in energy and mental clarity after drinking the whey. I use to crave a cup of coffee when I first arrived at work in the early a.m. I was looking for an energy boost. Now I have the Body Protein drink. Not only do I get an energy boost but I feel full, satisfied and clear headed. I can work for 3-4 hours before needing to eat.”The Body Protein has a positive effect on my digestion and elimination.”

-Roz L., Coeur d' Alene, ID

“Okay…Fat Flush seemed relatively easy this time around and I have successfully removed the first 10 pounds… Maybe it could be the New Body Protein Smoothies!! Something was different…so the only change is the new Body Protein…WOW, Y'ALL need to try it!!”

-Linda, Forum Member

“I just had my first Body Protein Smoothie! It really fills you up and keeps you satisfied for a long time. It has a great taste. It passed the “kid” test, my boys love it and smoothies are now their favorite breakfast. It’s a great way to start a new school year!”

-Forum Member

“I am happy to report that the Body Protein Smoothie really kept me full for a long long time! It was at least 4 and a half hours later that I noticed I felt hungry again…Impressive!”

-Cathy, Forum Member

“Bravo on your Body Protein Smoothie, it is awesome! 10 pounds down...and the Body Protein made it a really easy 2 weeks.”

-L.S., Tryon, NC

“Being gluten and lactose intolerant I have had a hard time finding a suitable protein powder. The Body Protein gives me no bloat, no gas, and plenty of protein energy. It’s nice not feeling 5 months pregnant after having my shake.”

-J.P., Laguna Niguel

“My husband started using Fat Flush Body Protein Powder to lose a few pounds and since I love smoothies I started my morning with this product and just a few weeks I have lost over 7 pounds without even trying!”

-D.K., Coeur D’Alene, ID

“Before taking this product I had tried a lot of protein powders. I’m on the go a lot so I tried UNI KEY's Fat Flush Body Protein Powder. I love this product! It’s a lot different than the others I’ve tried. It stirs into suspension more quickly, without adding ice, to create that thickness of a shake. It has a more natural taste. You can make it quickly and it’s very satisfying. It’s the first powder that really fills me up! It keeps my energy level up 4-5 hours at a time. I don’t feel ravished for a meal like with other protein powders. I love it…it’s like a dessert!”
-R.V., Santa Barbara, CA

“Before trying Fat Flush Body Protein I had used other protein powders that had soy and sugars that made me feel awful the whole time. I did not get the energy that I get with Fat Flush Body Protein. I have not been able to lose weight for the past 2 years. I had headaches also. Since trying UNI KEY's Body Protein Powder I have lost 5 pounds in 5 days! I don’t get tired, and I feel so good! I don’t get hungry. My headaches are gone! My skin feels softer and I am out walking! I love this product!”

-J. D., Cheyenne, WY

“I’m an old time Fat Flusher returning to the fold. I tried the Fat Flush Body Protein for the first time on a lark. I found it different than the Fat Flush Whey I was used to. The second and third time I thought it was just delish! I was pleasantly surprised by the stick to your ribs satiety action mentioned by many others.”

-Redheartmn, Forum Member

“I have done UNI KEY's Fast Track Detox Diet several times over the past 2 years and have lost about 30 pounds. Recently I completed the Fat Flush Smoothie Shakedown and lost 7 pounds. I started out at 177 pounds and I am now at 145. I am continuing with the Shakedown and plan to lose 20 more pounds. As an aspiring actress it’s important for me to feel good about my weight. Many people do not know much about the foods and products that they consume and what kind of affect it will have on their body. I used to be one of them, but after reading Dr. Ann Louise’s books, (Get the Sugar Out & Fast Track Detox) I feel empowered to make better choices and achieve the results I want regarding my health and wellness.”

-A.R., New York, NY

“Before trying UNI KEY's Fat Flush Body Protein I tried a product called Medi Clear. It was not palatable! The Body Protein tastes cleaner. I really look forward to making the Smoothies with fruit. I also stopped having migraines and hot flashes. I have also lost 8 pounds in 9 days! My family thought I was weird for eating a different way. But they cannot argue with success!”

-M.B., Minneapolis, MN

“I love UNI KEY's Fat Flush Body Protein Powder! It’s a staple for me now. Other protein powders taste too chemical and sweet. I love the thickness and the natural flavor. It keeps me feeling satisfied for at least 4 hours. I can count on it to give me energy so I can function at my best! It is superior for me! I do not want to be with out it.”

-Adele J., West Chester, PA

“The Body Protein is unlike any other protein powder I have ever tried. Most vegetarian protein powders mix poorly and soon leave me feeling hungry again. Not so with the Body Protein, it mixes great in my fruit smoothies and keeps my hunger satisfied for hours.”

-N.F., Westlake Village, CA.

“I lost twenty one pounds in 6 weeks. The Shakedown Plan is easy and it works! The Protein Shakes along with the Fat Flush Kit is ideal when you are busy and on the go!”

-Deborah R., Oak Lawn, IL

“The first week on the Shakedown I lost 6 lbs and 10 inches. I have more energy and can go longer during the day. The Shakedown is what did it!”

-Sherrie P., Grand Junction, MI

“Before trying UNI KEY's Fat Flush Body Protein I had tried other products that did not work as well. I have twin toddlers and need all the energy I can get. I love this natural product with amino acids that give me the energy I need to go all day long with the twins. I love the way it suppresses my appetite. It’s easy, and it’s a refreshing complete breakfast! It got me thru the holidays!”

-Socorro L., Signal Hill, CA

“I love the Fat Flush Body Protein, with fruit, in the morning before work. I don’t get hungry for 4-5 hours. I’ve lost weight too, without even thinking about it.”

-Lisa P., Danvers, MA

“I am the shrinking woman. I’ve already lost 10 lbs and I am so happy to be on this Shakedown plan. My daughter noticed the difference right away in how I look. I am not hungry at all. I will remain on the Shakedown for the next couple of weeks and transition into...Fat Flush for Life. I have 65 more pounds to lose and I am so motivated to do just that! One more benefit: I am a Type 2 diabetic and my blood sugar has come down from 169 to 144 in just a short time. I am hopeful that I will be able to get off my heavy duty meds.”
-Terrie R., Coeur d’Alene, ID

“I am only on my 6th day of the Smoothie Shakedown and have lost 9 pounds. So far, no cravings and I feel full for about 4 hours after having a shake. Best of all I feel great and I know that I am doing something healthy and nutritious for my body that I hope to continue for the rest of my life as I move on to each phase of the Fat Flush Program.”

Allibeth, Forum Member

-Shelli A., Spencerville, OH

“Before trying Fat Flush Body Protein I had tried other protein powders that after a couple of hours I would be hungry again. They did not compare to UNI KEY’S Body Protein. I’ve never used anything like this product! This is amazing! It’s a great a way to fill up, feel energized, and it keeps me satisfied for at least 4 hours.”

-Marianne G., Trumbull, CT

Misty's Success Story

2010-03-17T15:44:00.000-07:00

"The past 6 years have been a blur. I completed two degrees, got married, bought a house, worked full time and had a baby all at the same time. My focus has not been on weight loss in a very long time. Now that I have reached some personal goals, I realized that something was missing. I have reached amazing goals in a short amount of time, but I paid the price by putting on weight when stress took control. It was time for a change when I realized I weighed more than I did when I was 8 months pregnant with my now 18-month old daughter! I knew I needed a solution. I knew I needed the confidence to lose weight. I knew I needed something simple in the mix of my hectic life. When I heard about Fat Flush, I knew it was for me. Finally...something that was simple and fool proof! To give myself a boost, I decided to try to the Fat Flush Smoothie Shakedown. I lost 6 lbs. after the first day, that's when I knew I could do it. Then after the first 5 days, I lost over 10 lbs., and was surprised to see myself getting through the day with less food and more energy than ever before! I used to think that fun activities were synonymous with fatty foods, now I know I can still have fun without packing on pounds! It feels great that everyone at work is noticing. It is so nice to put clothes away that are too big! Now after losing 12 pounds in the blink of an eye (only two weeks), I am more determined than ever to lose weight. I feel that reaching my weight loss goal will make me a happier, healthier person, wife, mommy, and advocate for my clients. I am ready!!"

Casey's Success Story

2010-03-16T06:42:00.000-07:00

"I have struggled with my weight since junior high school. Over the years I have tried many diets and diet pills and exercise regimes with little success. When I was able to lose the weight it was not always in the healthiest manner. I recently graduated from college and realized that I needed to get serious about my health. The extra pounds I had gained from drinking beer and eating less than healthy foods were really bothering me and I knew if I didn't do something about it immediately I would continue to feel miserable and unhappy. The Fat Flush program has left me nothing short of amazed. It is the first time I have lost weight and felt great while doing it. While I was skeptical of smoothies having the ability to keep me energized and not leave me hungry, that is exactly what they did. I did not feel deprived of food or like I was starving. My energy level was higher than ever. I have never been able to wake up in the morning eager to start the day, but after a few days of being on the Fat Flush program I was waking up before my alarm clock feeling rested and refreshed. My job, as a child-care provider can be physically demanding and I never once felt fatigued while doing this detox. Within a week I lost 10lbs and 3 inches on my waist and stomach, 1 inch on each thigh and 1/2 an inch on my arms. The rapid results were an awesome motivator and by the end of week two I had lost 20lbs and 5 inches on my stomach, 4 inches on my waist, 2 inches on each thigh and 1 inch on my arms. I went down at least a full size, because starting the program I had a bridesmaid dress that I could not zip to save my life and now I can zip it with ease. There is not a doubt in my mind that this program is the weapon I need to battle my excess weight. I have ordered more of the protein powder and supplements so I can continue losing weight and live a healthy lifestyle. I am so happy with this program and I can't wait to share it with everyone I know who has trouble keeping off those unwanted pounds, because I really believe this works. The scale and tape measure don't lie. Thanks, Dr. Ann Louise!!!"

Jeri's Success Story

2010-03-11T15:29:00.000-08:00

"My weight has always fluctuated some, but in the last couple of years I knew I was gaining weight. I’m in my mid thirties and thought that was just what happens. I was tired all the time. I had developed so many bad habits, like skipping meals, loading up on caffeine and sugar. I rarely ever ate breakfast. I didn’t take vitamins because they always seemed to make me nauseous. I had lots of stomach problems. I am just like most other American women, juggling the demands of family and working full-time. But I was in denial about my weight; I wouldn’t get on a scale. Last June, I finally weighed myself and was shocked to see I weighed 160 lbs. That was as much as when I was pregnant with my son! That’s when I knew I had to do something immediately. Then I heard about Fat Flush. I was really excited to get started after I read the book. I started out with Phase 1 of Fat Flush and lost 10lbs in 2 weeks. That’s when I knew I could do this and be successful. And weight loss was just the beginning! I started noticing amazing changes in my body. I was sleeping through the night and waking up with so much energy. All of my stomach issues just disappeared. The supplements helped so much, and I was amazed that they never once made me feel nauseous. Phase 2 was going great and I lost another 8 lbs in 2 weeks. I had another 7 lbs to lose to reach my goal weight of 135. Then I heard about the Smoothie Shakedown and decided to try the Body Protein. I lost the 7 lbs in just one week! I couldn’t believe I had reached my goal weight in just 5 weeks. I just loved the Body Protein. I wouldn’t get hungry for at least 4 hours and my energy level remained high. I would usually eat my meal at lunchtime because I don’t get home until after 6. It was so quick & easy to make a shake for dinner. Losing the weight has done so much for my confidence. Whenever someone says, “You look so good, what have you been doing?” I tell them, “Fat Flush, it’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself."

Mariel made it happen!

2010-02-26T12:58:00.000-08:00

"I lost 11 pounds in the first 14 days of the Shakedown, and enough inches to get back in jeans that didn't fit for two years. And then in the next two weeks, I lost 4 more pounds by adding in the Fat Flush Phase 1 principles. And doing this got me out of weighing in the 200s; somewhere I had unfortunately been for a year and a half. I really felt great doing the plan and had much more energy and though the first 3 days were hard, after that it was much easier because it became a routine. After losing those fifteen pounds, I found out I was finally pregnant after trying for 2 years. I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and the main cause of that is insulin resistance and obesity. Now I am just about 5 months pregnant and I am now only weighing what I did before I started the plan."

It's "easy peezzy"

2010-02-17T18:44:00.000-08:00

"I'm lovin' my Shakedown! Thanks Dr. Ann Louise for making this so easy for me!!! I make a double shake with flax oil first thing in the morning that I drink half of after 1/2 fresh lemon and hot water, then eat an apple or veggies for snack. Then the rest of my shake for lunch. Later, dinner with my hubby. I've been on the program for a little over two weeks and have lost ten pounds. "Easy peezzy" as my nephew would say."

- Jan Myers

Considering the Shakedown? Shelli says DO IT!

2010-01-11T11:07:00.000-08:00

"As an early Fat Flusher, my advice is DO IT! I had the same concerns as you. I thought to myself I can eat salads for less calories than the smoothies, but I have been there many times and tried that and don't lose much weight and then I'm so famished I end up cheating early on in the "diet."

I am only on my 6th day of the Shakedown and have lost 9 pounds (I have about 45 more to go) and 4.875 total inches with 2 of those inches off my tummy which was beginning to remind me of a sumo wrestler! So far, no cravings and I feel full for about 4 hours.

I checked my blood pressure and it too is in the normal range, which for the past month I was noticing it start to creep up and concern me a bit. Best of all I feel great and know that I am doing something healthy and nutritious for my body that I hope to continue for the rest of my life as I move on to each "phase" of the Fat Flush program."

Janet LOST 8 Pounds over the Holidays!

2010-01-11T10:36:00.000-08:00

"I've been on the Shakedown for three weeks -- yes, during Christmas and New Year's -- and have lost 8 pounds, more than halfway to my 15-pound goal. I'm at the point where sweets no longer tempt me, lack of caffeine is not giving me a headache, and the momentum is encouraging me. I had developed a Starbucks habit of coffee & a muffin more or less daily -- the other day I met a friend there but was able to order a rooibos tea; the pastries weren't even tempting. I'll probably move to Classic Fat Flush Phase 1 after 4 weeks if I haven't lost all I need to, but this has been a great start!"

Adele's in Love...with Body Protein!

2009-12-29T16:32:00.000-08:00

"I love UNI KEY’s Fat Flush Body Protein Powder! It’s a staple for me now. Other protein powders taste too chemical and sweet. I love the thickness and the natural flavor. It keeps me feeling satisfied for at least 4 hours. I can count on it to give me energy so I can function at my best! It is superior for me! I do not want to be with out it."

- Adele J., West Chester, PA

Hunger? Be Satisfied for Hours!

2009-12-29T16:27:00.000-08:00

“The Body Protein is unlike any other protein powder I have ever tried. Most vegetarian protein powders mix poorly and soon leave me feeling hungry again. Not so with the Body Protein, it mixes great in my fruit smoothies and keeps my hunger satisfied for hours.”

- N.F. Westlake Village, CA.

A Spin on Breakfast!

2009-12-08T11:34:00.000-08:00

"Fat Flush Body Protein is my favorite protein powder. I cannot go one day without having a smoothie – it’s that good! Mixing the protein with different types of fruit and oils has become a fun challenge in the kitchen. I’m always open to using a new recipe for a spin on breakfast!"

-Racheal L., Coeur d'Alene, ID

Liz loves it!

2009-12-08T11:19:00.000-08:00

"I love the way Fat Flush Body Protein makes me feel. I have it many mornings for breakfast and when I am having a busy day, I enjoy a Smoothie for lunch. I have lots of energy, feel satisfied and can think clearly all day. I always drink one before I go to Yoga class so I have lots of strength but I still can do forward bends with comfort. It helps maintain my blood sugar at an even level. I really like the endless variety of flavors I can create by combining different fruit in my smoothies! Fat Flush Body Protein isn’t just great for weight loss, it’s wonderful for all of us with an active, busy life."

- Liz B., ID

Fat Flusher for Life!

"A daily shake using the Fat Flush Body Protein has been essential to keeping my 'over-50' body in great shape. At 53 years old, I find keeping those excess pounds in check is more challenging than ever. The Fat Flush Body Protein has become my favorite new strategy for maintaining energy while keeping my hunger and cravings at bay for hours. A bonus is how its natural flavor is the perfect foundation for a variety of delicious fruit-flavored smoothies. I look forward to one each and every day!"

“Before using Fat Flush Body Protein, I had tried a lot of protein powders. I’m on the go a lot, so I decided to give it a try. I love this product! It’s a lot different than the others I’ve tried. It stirs into suspension more quickly, without adding ice, to create that thickness of a shake. It has a more natural taste. You can make it quickly and it’s very satisfying. It’s the first powder that really fills me up! It keeps my energy level up 4-5 hours at a time. I don’t feel ravished for a meal like with other protein powders. I love it…it’s like a dessert!”

Here's what some of our Fat Flushers had to say about the Fat Flush Body Protein:

“My husband started using Fat Flush Body Protein Powder to lose a few pounds and since I love smoothies I started my morning with this product and after just a few weeks I have lost over 7 pounds without even trying!”

- D.K., Coeur D'Alene, ID

“Being gluten and lactose intolerant I have had a hard time finding a suitable protein powder. The Body Protein gives me no bloat, no gas, and plenty of protein energy. It’s nice not feeling 5 months pregnant after having my shake.”

- J.P., Laguna Niguel, CA

So many of you are having great success, here are just a few of the latest updates:

"In my first full week of the smoothie shakedown, I lost 7.5 pounds. It was the easiest 7.5 pounds I have ever shed. This program is so simple to follow. It is like a super charged version of Fat Flush to get the scale and the tape measure moving in the right direction. It is so motivating to see such great results in short period of time. "

Lisa's Success Story

2009-09-03T11:08:00.000-07:00

"Being on the Fat Flush Smoothie Shakedown Program helped me to realize the different things my body had sensitivities to, just by staying away from them for a couple of weeks. Dairy was something that I realized had a lot to do with the way I was feeling - bloated, gassy etc. I felt so much better being off of it. The smoothie gave me a lot of energy, which I thought I would have received from caffeine- so staying away from that helped me to see that I could replace it with something that was good for my body and have real energy- rather that a quick pick-me-up from coffee. I lost at least a half inch everywhere, and lost about 4 pounds, so overall I am very pleased that I did it."
