the theory:
Protein-rich foods, essential fats from flaxseeds and other omega-3-rich oils, vegetables and some spices can boost our metabolism by up to 25% and help burn off excess calories. The fat flush plan suggests that by eliminating foods such as wheat, milk and yeast-based seasonings, bloating will be banished since these products are believed to retain fluid as well as slowing down our metabolism.
