Flat Belly Diet Review
What You Should Know
The Flat Belly Diet is a weight loss plan based on a book written by the editors of Prevention Magazine. This diet claims to be unique in the path taken by dieters to help them achieve more weight loss than they ever thought possible. The changes are real life changes and not those marketed via starvation and special drinks and meals. However, this does not mean the Flat Belly Diet is the best diet for you to lose weight.
There is an official website for the Flat Belly Diet. The website includes testimonials, before and after photos, contact information and ordering info for both the original Flat Belly Diet book and the Flat Belly Diet Cookbook.
List of Ingredients
Diet plan by the editors of Prevention Magazine.
Product Features
The Flat Belly Diet includes two steps. The user is supposed to eat healthy, delicious food and track the success of the diet. That’s it! The website offers sample menus and detailed information on the plan to allow the dieter to research before buying the book, which is a nice thing.
When reading the testimonials, the dieters lost weight, but the weight loss was not as dramatic as many testimonials claim. This could be because the diet is a healthy way to lose weight with the average of 1 to 2 pounds a week. Many of the dieters lost between 5 and 10 pounds in the first month on the program.
The sample meal plans offer very little food during the day with the general plan including 4 meals, 4 times a day. The addition of healthy oils and avocado are the main reason the meals look smaller than average. The dieter eats calories in the form of these healthy oils and fats and thus the portion sixes must remain small. There is also no coffee or soda allowed on the Flat Belly Diet, but the dieter drinks 4 glasses of “Sassy” water every day.
Advantages
- The Flat Belly Diet is available with instructions online.
- The diet plan follows a healthy weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds a week.
Disadvantages
- The portion sizes are very small, meaning that you may still be hungry after eating your “allowed” food.
- No soda or coffee is allowed on the plan.
- The dieter must drink special “Sassy” water 4 times a day.
- The Flat Belly Diet Book needs to be purchased.
- Many of the foods on the plan are organic and may cost more.
Conclusion
The Flat Belly Diet may help some people lose weight in a healthy way. However, the higher cost of the organic foods could leave some people behind who are dieting on a smaller budget. While the fats and oils included in the diet are healthy, the calories used on these fats decreases the amount of food the dieter can eat.
Instead of using restriction, a fat burner and appetite suppressant may allow the dieter to eat the foods they want without feeling deprived just in smaller portions.
