Easy to follow!!
I don't "do" diets. This is so easy to follow, with meals that I would eat anyway. I lost 7 pounds in 11 days. I'm still losing!! I tried this on a recommendation from someone who lost over 30 pounds by following the Flat Belly Diet. She travels quite frequently and was able to do it. If you don't want to invest in the large book version...the pocket version has just as much information.

Flat Out - It Works!
This handy guide really seemed to have all the important information you need to accomplish the flat belly diet. It's the big book, minus the testimonials, heavy scientific talk, and journal pages. This diet works and is so easy to do. There are certainly flavor filled recipes out there to stay on target, but this little guide gives you a 28 day plan including every single item(and brand) you need to purchase as a head start. It may look monotonous, but you learn quickly how to substitute here and there with your own choices. Lists of instant item by item substitutions are given, as well as numerous other choices of menus, and the book ends with a thorough list of common restaurants and the exact choice to order from each to stay on track. It's VERY accomplishable in every day life and DELICIOUS even with the "Keep It Simple" menus provided. A whole grain waffle drizzled with dark chocolate chips smothered in strawberries?!?! Choices like that provide plenty of seemingly decadent eats to keep a sweet tooth and a carb lover happy, but it is a balanced nutritional choice in disguise. The calories are typical of a moderate weight-loss diet of 1600 a day - but the results have been exponentially faster than South Beach or other low-carb methods that I've tried. I lost 5.5 lbs. the first week and they showed in inches immediately.

The concept of the diet is that eating MUFA's such as nuts/seeds, certain oils, avacados, olives, dark chocolate, and avacados, will target visceral belly fat in the weight loss process. Incorporating a MUFA at each of four 400 calorie meals seems to work some kind of magic. These MUFA foods also are very filling and delicious. It's been the easiest "diet" I've ever done. You get to eat meats, fruits, nuts/seeds, vegetables, bread, and even dark chocolate!

Flat Belly diet
This is a good book in theory,especially for those who need to lose 20 lbs.or better.The only problem I have with it is during the 4 day diet in the beginning(getting rid of bloat)there was a bit of controversy for me.On the 4 day de-bloat one of the steps is to cut out salt,yet some of the foods suggested to buy(to my standards) are high in sodium and I normally would not eat them,such as cornflakes(yes cereal)the deli meat,cheese,etc.Just be sure to read labels if you are watching your sodium intake.I understand how the MUFAS are good and over all the 28 day diet plan is helpful-great recipes etc.If you are already eating healthy foods and only need to lose 5-10 lbs,you could check out the book ULTRA METABOLISM(written by a doctor)It explains more about how our bodies process the foods we eat.
