Frequently Asked Questions

First of all, experiment with different approved fruits and combinations until you find your favorites! You can adjust the recipe by adding more water or unsweetened cranberry juice or a little extra fruit. Also, try blending the fruit and water first before adding the oil, seeds and protein powder into the blender. When it comes to flaxseed oil, we’ve found that the Hi-Lignan Flaxseed Oil is the best-tasting on the market. For a different texture, you may want to try adding varying amounts of ice cubes.

The Fat Flush Kit supplements are highly recommended for ideal results. Three time-tested formulas—Weight Loss Formula, Advanced Daily Multivitamin, and GLA-90—support optimal nutrient intake during rapid weight loss and ongoing weight control. They also help to stabilize blood sugar, reduce fatigue, and support healthy liver and skin function with enzymes, amino acids, and essential fats.

Some people do experience detox symptoms after cutting out caffeine, white flour, sugar, and alcohol from their diet. These symptoms should subside after a few days, if not, consider consulting a health care practitioner.

The flaxseed oil (or fish oil) is essential—both for long-lasting satiety and for the vital health and wellness benefits of the omega-3 fatty acids it provides! Ground flax seeds or chia seeds offer an important fiber component, especially if you aren’t eliminating daily during the program.

The dinner menu featured in the protocol is just a sample. As long as you stick to the approved foods and spices, you can be as inventive as you like! For example, enjoy a grilled chicken salad or Fat Flush-style “spaghetti” with lean beef, fresh tomatoes, veggies, and spaghetti squash! Find delicious Shakedown-friendly recipes here.

The Shakedown was designed to be used with Body Protein because studies show it helps reset metabolism and intensify weight loss results. Fat Flush Whey Protein can be used as an alternative for those who prefer it, however, please be aware that Whey Protein may not provide the same long-lasting satiety as Body Protein. Some people have reported success using 1/2 scoop Whey Protein and 1/2 scoop Body Protein. Whey Protein is also a great option for those allergic to rice.

Have one of the approved snacks (veggies, hard-boiled eggs, or a third smoothie) if you get hungry! It’s important to make sure that you are eating every three to four hours. Avoid eating two hours before bedtime.

The Shakedown is excellent for vegetarians! Fat Flush Body Protein is vegan, and with the exception of the daily meal, no other modifications should be necessary. Tofu may be consumed twice per week, and in addition, a third daily smoothie should be standard protocol for sufficient protein.

Feel free to enjoy this simple liver-loving beverage during the Shakedown (hot water with juice of 1/2 lemon).

Assuming that you have no kidney problems, it is safe to consume 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water. If you do have health issues, please consult your health care practitioner.

Chia seeds are considered the world’s most fiber-rich food (soluble and insoluble), and highest natural source of omega-3s, which have been proven to lower fattening hormones like cortisol. They are extremely nutritional dense, gluten-free, and abundant in antioxidants, vitamin C, minerals, fiber, essential fatty acids, and protein. They contain 2 times the protein of any other seed or grain, 8 times more omega-3s than salmon, and 3 times the antioxidant strength of blueberries. Plus, they are a delicious addition to smoothies, salads, entrees and more!

Yes, but limit yourself to one cup of organic coffee per day. You’ll have so much newfound energy on the Shakedown that you won’t even miss it!

Yes, but remember to keep you body nourished and add in extra snacks as needed (including a third smoothie if necessary). Given the accelerated nature of this program, only light to moderate exercise—such as walking, biking, rebounding (jumping on a mini-trampoline), or yoga—is recommended.

If you have 50 pounds or more to lose, you can stick to this particular program for up to one month at a time. In order to maximize your results, it is recommended to take a one-week break before starting another two-week round of the Shakedown. During the break, enjoy one smoothie and two Shakedown meals daily or follow Classic Fat Flush Phase 1 or 2 in order to stay on track. The Fat Flush Kit supplements are safe and effective for lifetime weight management.

After completing the Shakedown (either a two-week or four-week regimen), continue on your weight loss journey by transitioning to the Smoothie Shakedown Succession Plan, The Classic Fat Flush Plan, or a Maintenance Plan. Learn more here.
