The Fat Flush Plan diet teaches you how to keep a daily journal, track your progress, monitor your eating patterns and emotional triggers. The diet also emphasizes exercise to build lean muscle and increase metabolism. The program targets detoxifying the liver which, Ann Louise Gittleman, the author of "The Fat Flush Plan," says is the most vital organ in maintaining optimal health. The plan emphasizes a balanced diet of healthy fats, proteins and complex carbohydrates to help the liver function at its best.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is converted from beta carotene found in most orange-colored fruits and vegetables. This nutrient aids in insulin action and regulates the amount of glucose released in the body. In the Fat Flush Diet, curbing cravings through intake of vitamin A aids in weight loss. Good choices for the nutrient include carrots, bell peppers, pumpkin and sweet potatoes. These also offer a wide spectrum of minerals such as magnesium, zinc, magnesium and zinc, according to "Get the Sugar Out" by Ann Louise Gittleman.
Vitamin C
The Fat Flush Plan, which is meant to restore balance and control insulin levels, recommends eating about 30 percent of your daily calories from anti-inflammatory fruits and vegetables. These fruits and vegetables are high in fiber and, most importantly, vitamin C, which slows the release of glucose in the bloodstream. The Fat Flush Diet emphasizes boosting the immune system through vitamin C. Eat oranges, grapefruits, strawberries, blueberries, apples, lemons and limes for vitamin C benefits.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E has been reported by researchers to lessen your risk of inflammation and excess insulin. The nutrient also helps speed up metabolism and lower glucose levels to prevent hunger, according to "Get the Sugar Out." In The Fat Flush Diet, this vitamin is essential in controlling hunger and preventing weight gain. Vitamin E can be found in most nuts and seeds such as walnuts, almonds, cashews, pumpkin and sunflower seeds. Lean cuts of meat are also a good source of vitamin E.
