Dieting is possibly now more popular than the Beatles. Fad diets spring up all the time, like the South Beach Diet, the We Can’t Believe You Were Gullible Enough to Purchase This Stuff Diet, and now the Flat Belly Diet. There is no Northwest Passage when it comes to weight loss, and also the Flat Belly Diet is no exception. However, it uses common sense and some really solid science. You won’t have to get installment loan for TV dinners, either.
Flat Belly Diet uses Mediterranean Diet
, and doctors are the experts on the human body. The diet claims to burn off 15 pounds in 32 days. The first four days are an initiation period intended to cut down on bloating and mentally adjust individuals to healthier eating. Dieters are designed to drink 2 liters a day of Sassy Water during this phase.
Monounsaturated fats
As fate would have it, Cynthia Sass, inventor of Sassy Water, is a co-author of the Flat Belly Diet book, along with Liz Vaccariello. The key to the 1,600 calories a day Flat Belly Diet is a compound called Monounsaturated Fat. MUFAs, as they're called, are known to help reduce levels of low density lipoproteins (that's the bad cholesterol) and potentially boost High Density Lipoprotein (the good kind).
There is healthy good stuff in it
The diet itself has an eating plan, a cookbook, you name it. You eat four portion-controlled, small meals per day, each of which includes a MUFA ingredient. You stick to healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. You’re also encouraged to serve yourself a side of regular exercise.
What the doctors said
WebMD won’t be recommending it to Stockholm, though they didn’t hate it. The review said that there were very good things about the Flat Belly Diet, but some misleading things. They point out the 15 pounds will probably be water weight, in that a person would have to burn over 1,600 calories a day to lose the claimed 15 pounds in that time. They affirm that good weight loss, about a pound or two a week, is slow and steady and reminded individuals to remember SED – Strength training, Exercise, and proper Diet. There may be no Northwest Passage to weight loss.
