Will The Diet tummy! We all know that we must follow a healthy diet to lose weight ... but oh boy, do we hate diet food! Enter the world of the Flat Belly Diet where you can lose up to 15 pounds in 32 days, eating chocolate and wait for it .... without exercise. Too good to be true right? We decided to investigate.
The Flat Belly Diet, a book sold as food, was written by Liz Vaccariello, editor in chief of the prevention with Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD, nutrition director at Prevention. We all want a flat stomach is not it? The main area of intervention and the title of this book is the dream of a promoter, which probably helped to push the sale.
When you look closely at the Flat Belly Diet, it boils down to nothing more than a calorie-controlled diet Mediterranean style is easy. The Mediterranean diet has been proven in a number of scientific studies to promote good health and weight loss. The Flat Belly Diet is a diet become the most famous of its kind yet, because it offers a relatively easy way to the Mediterranean diet.
Another interesting feature of power is the energy it seems to bring with her. Appeal from a MUFA monounsaturated fat is almost like a fashion accessory, rather than a type of food in a food. Add in the fact that the numbers of dark chocolate and you have a MUFA diet very fashionable and exciting!
Regarding the scientific support of MUFA is a number of scientific studies to date demonstrated the benefits of including MUFA in your diet, not only to protect or improve your waistline, but also to improve your general health and mental capacity.
Flat Belly Diet program you are limited to four 400 calorie meals per day. Again, since the schemes go, it's a fairly well defined limits. Most people lose weight safely and effectively on 1600 calories per day. Each meal should be accompanied by a MUFA. The MUFA also help you stay satisfied longer, and it will most certainly make the food taste so much as diet foods and more like real food.
You begin by following a program first started four days to reduce bloating and prepare yourself mentally before you start the Flat Belly Diet. During the program started, you will be limited to between 1200-1400 calories, and you have to drink 2 liters of water "sassy", a mixture of water, herbs, spices, citrus, and cucumbers every day. After the startup phase you go you feel less lethargic, less fat and less constipated.
In keeping with the Mediterranean style diet for the second phase (duration 28 days) focusing on (apart from MUFA) lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, beans, grains and lean protein. As mentioned before every meal is accompanied by a MUFA belonging to one of five groups: nuts, oils and seeds, olives, avocados and dark chocolate. Red meat is allowed on rare occasions, perhaps once a month.
Apart from the book, the Flat Belly Diet Diet also offers a web-site that provides help and support tools. The online program allows members to customize caloric needs based on age, sex, height, weight and activity level. Although the program does not require participants to exercise, it does encourage it in the interest of weight loss and better health outcomes.
In our experience, if you lose 15 pounds in 32 days, a large percentage of this amount will be water weight. You can see that despite claims of huge losses, you still only lose at a rate of about 1-2 pounds per week, the rate generally recommended by health experts anyway. To reiterate the view expressed earlier, which is a calorie-controlled, diet plan Mediterranean style which means you will lose weight (all courses and not necessarily around the waist) safely and effectively.
However, if this system allows you to have your chocolate and lose weight - why not go for that?
