Will The Flat Belly Diet Reshape Midsections?

Dieting is becoming the new national pastime. Many fad diets have come about, like the South Beach Diet, the Atkins Diet, the Gullible Enough To Buy This Stuff Diet and now the Flat Belly Diet. A Northwest Passage of dieting has been sought after for years, and Flat Belly Diet is not one either. It does, though, use some solid science and common sense. You won’t have to get installment payday loans for TV dinners, either.

Flat Belly Diet uses Mediterranean Diet

Doctors are the experts, and that’s who you should talk to about weight loss, and there is already a WebMD review of the Flat Belly Diet. The diet claims to burn off 15 pounds in 32 days. The first four days are 1,200 to 1,400 calorie days designed to reset the system and get dieters to the mindset of healthier eating. During these four days, you’re encouraged to drink 2 liters a day of Sassy Water.

The secret ingredients are monounsaturated fats

Indeed, Cynthia Sass, who invented Sassy Water, is a co-author of the book along with Liz Vaccariello. The key ingredient in this diet is Monounsaturated Fat. MUFAs are known to boost good cholesterol and reduce the bad cholesterol.

There is healthy good stuff in it

There’s an eating plan and a cookbook. You eat a small meal each four hours, and each contain a MUFA ingredient. You stick to healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Exercise is encouraged to go with it.

The web doctors weigh in

WebMD didn’t hail it as exactly a breakthrough. They had some good things to say about the Flat Belly Diet, but also some quid pro quos. They point out the 15 pounds will most likely 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 people to remember SED – Strength training, Exercise, and proper Diet. There’s no Northwest Passage of getting skinny.
