Book Review: Ani's 15 Day Fat Blast: The Kick-Ass Plan to Get Lighter, Tighter, and Sexier by Ani Phyo

Ani's 15 Day Fat Blast: The Kick-Ass Plan To Get Lighter, Tighter and Sexier by Ani Phyo explains very important ideas for achieving and maintaining weight loss based upon a few simple principles combined with home-prepared food. According to Phyo, real food tastes good. It is cheap to buy. Moreover, the calorie content of food does not necessarily equate to more energy.

Phyo explains a whole host of "fat blasting" foods. Samples include alfalfa blast juice powder, barley grass juice powder, brown rice protein powder, buckwheat groats, camu camu berries, chlorella algae, goji berries, and golden berries from the Andes.

The author provides samples of full day menus. For instance, breakfast starts with a blueberry or strawberry blast. A typical lunch consists of soup made from bok choy, a top nutritional food. Dinner consists of tomato bisque soup with two snacks consisting of fruit or green vegetable shakes. Dieters may consume nuts and seeds in lieu of candy bars.

There are other dinner soup preparations like minestrone, coconut tomato soup, zucchini noodles in marinara, and celery almond pate. These foods are highly nutritious and consumption can eliminate a lot of weight, according to Phyo. The book gives samples of "rocket foods" which include low fat yogurt, soft cheese, and buttermilk.

Specific foods have unique benefits. For instance, maca aids the immune system. Sacha inchi is rich in omega 3 and spirulina contains small green or blue algae, rich in chlorophyll.

Phyo covers situations which require careful planning, such as eating in restaurants. Ani's 15 Day Fat Blast recommends having appetizers, salads, spreads, and soups. In addition, the book advises dieters to carry shakes with them in order to save money and have low-caloric food available when it's time to snack outside the home.

The presentation comes with excellent research sources like the American Journal of Nutrition, the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition, and Nutritional Clinical Practice.

This is is a well-researched book on nutrition and dieting containing very interesting food preparations which are high in nutrients and lower in calories than the standard junk foods. This mode of eating will save money and aid in health maintenance as well.
