The Flat Belly Diet
Liz Vaccariello and Cynthia Sass part of the Prevention magazine family are the authors of the “Flat Belly Diet!” published in the Fall of 2008. Prevention magazine is really promoting this diet as a way to target belly fat loss and claims that up to 15 pounds and 12 inches can be lost in just 32 days. This diet plan was even featured on Good Morning America. Other publications including the “Flat Belly Diet! Pocket Guide”and the “Flat Belly Diet!Cookbook” are due out in 2009.
There also are exercise DVDs that are being marketed along with this program such as “Flat Belly Workout! Walk Off Belly Fat” and “Flat Belly Workout! Express Belly Blast”. An on-line option is also available with this diet program for those that prefer.
This diet plan claims that the incredible belly fat losses can be seen even with no exercise whatsoever just by adding MUFAs (mono unsaturated fatty acids) to each meal and snack eaten. MUFAs are considered by many as healthy or good fats and include such foods as nuts, chocolate, olive oil, seeds, and avocados. Basically the plan follows a 4 day 1,200 calorie per day “Anti-Bloat Jumpstart” followed by 28 days of 1,600 calories per day which is very similar to the traditional Mediterranean Diet.
Throughout the diet “Sassy Water” is recommended. “Sassy Water” is water with ingredients added such as mint, lemon, and cucumber and claims to help soothe and calm the GI tract. The plan does include an optional exercise program focusing on walking and strength training.
Some people question the scientific validity of the study results which are published in the book. The study included only 11 people which many consider entirely too small to adequately represent the results for the majority of the population.
