Weight Loss Plans

Everyone has a ‘problem area’ that they have to work twice as hard in order to get rid of the fat. For some people they have more fat contained in the butt and thighs. However, for the majority of people it is in the belly. This is especially true for most men and a lot of women who have had children.

One weight loss plan that claims to target this problem area if the Flat Belly Diet. This diet claims to help people to lose 15 pounds in a little over a month. Most of that weight will be taken from the belly and you will notice it right away. The question we want to know is, “Does this really work?”

Basic Information

This is a 1,600 calorie diet that focuses on people eating wholesome and completely unrefined veggies, fruits, nuts, beans, seeds, lean protein, and whole grains. The main ingredient in all or most of these foods that you will be eating is monounsaturated fat (MUFA). They will have you eat at least one serving of a food that contains the MUFA, during each meal. The more popular MUFAs that you will eat include, nuts, seeds, dark chocolate, soybean, flax, olives, olive oil, and avocados.

The MUFA has been well researched and will have the power to target the belly fat and to whittle it away. It also has a number of health benefits and people find that they are not on such a strict diet when they are able to indulge in the simple pleasures of olives, nuts, and even chocolate!

Before they start you on the month long plan they want to give you a type of detox. This does not mean that you have to purchase a whole bunch of pills that they make. You also don’t have to fast for a week or live off of nothing but juice. Instead they will give you a four day long 1,200 calorie food plan.

This detox is designed to jump start your body and to reduce any bloating that you have. They will have you eating some of the food that you eat during the larger plan plus they will want you to drink their sassy water. This is water mixed with mint leaves, lemons, and cucumbers.

The most beneficial thing about this weight loss plan is that it is easy to follow and very flexible. They allow you to interchange certain types of foods and even give you a list of what to eat at certain restaurants. All you have to do is purchase the book and follow the directions.
