Product Description
Prevention magazine is the country's most authoritative, trustworthy, and innovative source for practical health, nutrition, and fitness information. Now, its editors bring you a weight-loss plan that's specifically designed to target your number-one trouble spot: BELLY FAT. For women over 40, belly fat is incredibly stealth and incredibly stubborn. It's also the most deadly, contributing to a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, and chronic illness than any other type of fat on your body. Finally, science has helped uncover a key dietary weapon in the fight against belly fat. Monounsaturated fatty acids, or MUFAs, help dieters lose more weight--in their bellies specifically--and keep it off longer. Flat Belly Diet! will lead you step by step, day by day, meal by meal toward a flatter belly...and a longer, healthier life.

 Dreaming of a super flat belly..is different from getting one ! ( lacekar )
Interesting, but not so new. One point: yes, it's okay to eat fats - they actually help dieters not to be too hungry and to last longer with smaller amounts of food. Not a bad proposition. The rest of the book sets the dieters up for some punitive "restrictions" again....There's a much better approach - see [...] (only in Los Angeles and Arizona right now). The Magic of Being Thin seminars actually recommend no exercise, or very mild exercise untill the dieter starts losing. A much better book is the good "FIT or FAT" sold here on Amazon. Also, try "FAT is a Feminist Issue". Now, if you don't mind losing slowly (1 or 2 lbs a week, max) "The Age Free Zone" book is great because it explains clearly the fat storage metabolism, and how to bypass that. A much better read, too.

 Don't bother !!!
This book is certainly not worth the money and has no new useful information. I wish I could have read an excert from the book as I would not have wasted my money. There is nothing in this book that you don't already know if you are trying to either lose weight or just eat better !!!!!!!

 Let's Follow A Low Fad Diet ( busybeegroup )
The Flat Belly Diet is another eat right and exercise diet book focusing on a woman's vulnerability - her belly - the center of her creativity and her ego. The reason women are still struggling and waging war against their food is not addressed here. We eat to fill an empty heart. We are stressed about our endless to-do list, so we don't sleep well, jolt our bodies awake with caffeine and eat junk food to surge and crash and on to the next chore. Many of us will have bellies no matter what - it is in our genes. If we want to change, we have to accept ourselves as we are and manage our stress. We have to make ourselves a priority on the to-do list, create time for the self - that's why exercise often doesn't happen because we do it for the self. To augment our health and fitness program we need to address the root cause of self-sabotage as explained in my bookAddicted to Stress: A Woman's 7 Step Program to Reclaim Joy and Spontaneity in LifeAnd if you have a belly, try belly dancing.

Nothing New and Overstated ( sarikim )
Many, many books have addressed satiety and mono unsaturated fats. But this simplistic approach that adding them to all meals changes your diet so dramatically, leaves out many important nutritional components. No breakthroughs here.

 BEST diet ever!!!!! ( rocioarroy )
I've done south beach,bistro md, weight watchers, susanne summers, abbs diet (which I actually gained weight on), etc. You name it I've tried it & I can't seem to shake off my platau of 10 lbs. I have all my pre-baby clothes that I've been trying to fit into for 2years & I think I'll fit into them by thanksgiving on this diet. It starts with a SUPER easy 4 day anti bloat kickstart. I lost 4lbs on that. The 1st day was really hard as in every diet i've tried but It was amazingly easy as the week progressed. I also felt SO great!!! I don't know if it was the phychological part of the book or the actual diet. I was energized & in high spirits, while PMSing??? I have to add that this diet is meant for Moms on the go. It has a list of frozen meals to choose from!! I'm not a big fan but tried the Amy's frozen meal that was recomended from this book & it it was pretty tasty. As far as the list of food they suggest, I found the brands a little easier to find compared to a diet like SB. Easy rules to follow. 1.eat a MUFA at every meal 2. Eat no more than 400 calories a meal & 3. Don't go more than 4 hours w/out eating. There are super easy recipes as well as more complicated ones in the book. I love the fact that you can have chocolate!! During my cycle I tend to crave chocolate & these recipes & food combinations w/chocolate have kept me on track. I'm down 6 lbs & feel like I canreach my goal before New Years!! Can't say much about the workouts. I work out on my own 3-4 times a week so that has never been an issue for me but they have low-high level workouts. It's worth trying if your a busy Mom & have your kids mac & cheese staring at you after they have gone down for their nap. It's really making it easy for me to get through those moments!!! Thank you prevention!!!!
