Dieting is perhaps now more popular than the Beatles. Fad diets spring up all the time, like the South Beach Diet, the We Can’t Believe You Were Gullible Enough to Buy This Stuff Diet, and now the Flat Belly Diet. There is no Northwest Passage when it comes to weight loss, and the Flat Belly Diet is no exception. That said, it uses some real common sense. You won’t have to get installment loans for shipments of frozen meals, either.

Flat Belly Diet builds on Mediterranean Diet

Because doctors are experts on the human body, to doctors you should go to consult about dieting and weight loss, and WebMD has reviewed the Flat Belly Diet. The claim is that the Flat Belly Diet will burn 15 pounds in 32 days. The first four days are an initiation period designed to cut down on bloating and mentally adjust people to healthier eating. During these four days, you’re encouraged to drink 2 liters a day of Sassy Water.

The secret ingredients are monounsaturated fats

As fate would have it, Cynthia Sass, inventor of Sassy Water, is a co-author of the Flat Belly Diet book, along with Liz Vaccariello. The key to the 1,600 calories a day Flat Belly Diet is a compound called Monounsaturated Fat. Also called MUFAs, they are known to reduce bad cholesterol and boost the good kind.

It is actually good

The diet itself has an eating plan, a cookbook, you name it. You eat four portion-controlled, small meals per day, each of which includes a MUFA ingredient. The idea is to stick to healthy foods like more fruits and veggies, whole grains, beans, lean protein and so forth. Exercise is encouraged to go with it.

The web doctors weigh in

WebMD didn’t hail it as exactly a breakthrough. They had some good things to say about the Flat Belly Diet, but also some quid pro quos. First of all, they state the weight lost is likely to be water weight and that to burn 15 pounds of true fat a person would have to burn more than 1,600 calories a day, which isn’t likely. The best weight loss results are slow and steady — a couple of pounds a week — and to remember SED – Strength training, Exercise (meaning cardio), and a healthy Diet. There’s no miracle weight loss solution.
