According to MSNBC, the "Flat Belly Diet" wants you to eat more foods that are are healthy fats - think olive oil, avocados, nuts, and dark chocolate.
Huffington Post reported that MUFAs or monosaturated fatty acids will flatten your belly. Prevention.com calls one of the most important aspects of the Flat Belly Diet the 4-day jumpstart and one key ingredient is Sassy Water.
You have to sign up to know exactly what Sassy Water is but I did some digging. I found this recipe at calorie count
8 1/2 cups of water
1 teaspoon of grated ginger
1 cucumber
1 lemon
12 spearmint leaves.
Combine everything and let it stand in the refrigerator overnight. Drink all the water throughout the day.
Prevention.com states, " We call it Sassy Water, in honor of its creator Prevention nutrition director Cynthia Sass, and because it's a heck of a lot perkier than plain old water. But the ingredients in here aren't just for flavor: The ginger also helps calm and soothe your GI tract. Even more important: The simple act of making this Sassy Water every day will serve as a reminder during the Four-Day Jumpstart that life is a little bit different, that things are going to change. It will help you focus on the task ahead: Getting a flatter belly once and for all."
It is said that we can lose up to (note up to) 7 pounds and more than 5 inches in just over (note over) four days. (This is not unusual by the way on Weight Waters as well.)
You will probably end up buying the book the Flat Belly Diet by Liz Vaccariello.
The MSNBC article states, "The only part of the Flat Belly Diet that gives me pause is its assertion that eating monounsaturated fatty acids specifically targets belly fat; unfortunately, many people may purchase this book under the false impression that the exercises and meals in it are designed especially for decreasing their tummy girth. A good deal of research has gone into stomach-shrinking methods, and they universally find that, while eating less and exercising decreases the fat in your body OVERALL, you can't just target one area alone. You'll lose weight and inches from your stomach, in other words, but you'll lose it from everywhere else too, and possibly not quite in the proportions you had wished. And no amount of stomach crunches will burn fat only in your stomach. You'll develop some kicking stomach muscles and burn fat all over your body, but not just in your stomach."
