The Flat Belly Diet

Background

The Flat Belly Diet is a product from the stable of a popular health magazine called ‘Prevention’. The magazine says that the diet plan mentioned, is in fact the essential secret of having that glorious flat tummy and what’s more they claim that the success rate for The Flat Belly Diet is 91%.

So how did they zero in on the percentage? Well, the nutrition director at Prevention assembled a panel that tested the diet. It was seen that a majority of the assembled panel lost 91 percent of the weight that they wanted to lose and a large percentage of the panel lost a significant amount of belly fat. Health professionals have advised people not to give too much of an importance to the idea of spot reduction as they say that any exercise plan or a diet plan would only offer a semblance of weight loss. However, recent studies conducted indicate that if a person adheres to a diet that is rich in mono-saturated fats then there is every chance that it would lead to the reduction in abdominal fats.

So the first target of the flat belly diet is reducing abdominal fats, and the second is the consumption of water. It is an accepted fact that if the body gets enough water, it fires on all cylinders and thus wards of fatigue and water retention. However, when it comes to the Flat Belly Diet, the program exhorts its users not to drink any water, but ‘Sassy Water’, which contains Ginger which soothes the gastrointestinal tract.

Once you go through the online portion of the program you might feel that there is very little difference between this and many other diets on the net. The similarities lie in the fact that it enables you to track the progress, also allows interaction with other people who are on the same diet, and you can also get your questions and various other queries answered through the online support offered.
