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.

Purchased this paperback copy of the Flat Belly Diet for my niece. I really love my hardback copy. Diet works if you stick to it!
 Flat Belly Review February 23, 2010

This book is so brilliantly written. It tells you everything you need to know to get started. It's the easiest plan I've ever followed. The first 4 days of the Jump Start were really hard, but not because the authors didn't lay out exactly what to do. In the first 4 days I dropped 9 pounds and 2 belt notches. It's been over a month and I've lost 15 pounds and I only went to the gym once. This book will change your life. If you're looking for a way to lose weight and get healthy without following a "fad" diet, you've found what you're been looking for. I've told everyone I know about this book. (In fact, I bought this copy for my mom because she saw my dramatic weight loss and wanted to join me.) Because of the dramatic weight loss during the first 4 days of the Jump Start, you are dying to continue on with the 28-Day plan that follows.
As a side note, I'm not even a largely overweigh person. I only started with about 30 pounds to lose and I'm already halfway there.

If I could give this book zero stars, I would, but it is not an option here.
I bought the Flat Belly diet after the holidays. What a waste of money! The book is very disorganized, reads poorly, and includes fake foods. They recommend margarine, and fake foods. Thanks, I need to improve my health, not damage it. It is a scam diet, stay away.

I started reading this when I received it. We were really looking to make a diet change this year and this book jump started it. Easy to understand, easy to read, easy to follow.

I really like this diet. I've done all the fad diets over the years. This, by far, has been the most healthy and filling. Once I've reached my target weight, this will definitely be a life style. So far, in 6 weeks, I've lost 11 pounds.
The first 4 days of the diet (the jumpstart, 1,200 calories a day) are difficult, but doable. After that, the book recommends 1,600 calories a day: Three 400-calorie meals and one 400-calorie snack.
I appreciate that the 'recipes' are easy to follow and easy to make. I also like that calorie counts are listed for each ingredient and that each meal is planned for 1 person. Once I had my pantry and refrigerator stocked, the rest was easy. I really like the food they recommend.
To accelerate weight loss, I average about 1,300 calories a day. I consume three 400-calorie meals, and leave the snack optional. I also divide up my meals. I'll have 1/2 breakfast at 8:00 am and the other 1/2 at 10:30 am. I then eat 1/2 lunch at 12:30 pm, and the other 1/2 at 3:30 pm. It helps keep me satisfied. At 6:00 pm, I have the full dinner. If I'm still hungry, I'll have 1/2 the snack at 8:00 pm (sometimes the full snack).
I have all 3 of the Flat Belly Books, (Diet, Cookbook, and Pocket Guide). If you were to buy just one book, I'd recommend the Pocket Guide. It is easy to follow and the meal plans are very tasty.
