Flat Belly Diet!

Flat Belly Diet! (www.flatbellydiet.com) This New York Times bestselling diet from Prevention Editor-in-Chief Liz Vaccariello with Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD, offers a science-based nutrition plan grounded on new research that makes weight loss not only easier but targets belly fat specifically. The key is MUFAs (monounsaturated fatty acids). Excess belly fat can significantly up risk of heart disease, breast cancer, dementia and type 2 diabetes. Does the diet work? A new pilot study conducted by the Yale University Prevention Research Center found the Flat Belly Diet reduced dangerous visceral belly fat by 33% in 28 days. Also, dieters lost an average of 8.4 pounds and close to 2 inches from the waist, dropped an average of 21 points in cholesterol (with a 9-point reduction in unhealthy LDL), bringing lipid measurements down to optimal range for some study participants. Prevention has found some dieters have lost up to 15 pounds in 32 days.
