How the Flat Belly Diet Can Help Women

With spring quickly approaching, everyone, including myself, is very eager to attempt to lose weight. There always seems to be new fad diets that are released to anyone who will listen. So what is the latest craze for this year? The Flat Belly Diet seems to be the most popular so far for 2008.

It does have many things that appear to be beneficial at first glance. The one problem that many women seem to have a problem with is losing their belly weight. Belly fat is actually the most dangerous fat on your body, especially for women who have just recently had a baby. In a new book titled the Flat Belly Diet the editors, Liz Vaccariello and Cynthia Sass, say they have found the secret.

The Flat Belly diet is basically a diet that focuses on Monounsaturated Fatty Acids also known as Mufa. Scientist have found that by using a particular nutrition plan and a few motivational tips you can lose up to 15 pounds in just 32 days. The monounsaturated fatty acids are considered to be good fats. By basing your diet on these so called good diets, you can very easily lose the belly fat, according to their book. Your focus when you are on this diet are the five flat belly foods which include, oil, nuts & seeds and chocolate, olives, and avocados. All they recommend is one serving of these foods per meal in addition to watching your calorie intake.

What I really like about this diet is that it seems very easy to achieve. Especially since they mention that exercise is optional and not necessary to lose the belly fat. This diet focuses on health and energy. The total calorie intake for the day is about 1600 which means that you can eat about 400 calories at each of your meals. It is recommended that you have at least four small meals a day. The best part is that it is very easy to stick with this diet just by including the five ingredients in your daily foods. For example when it comes to the oil you can use peanut or canola oil to make stir-fry. Or you can use olive oil to pan fry your food. Or your can choose to use the nuts and seeds as part of a salad.
