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.

 It has become a lifestyle January 9, 2009
My husband and I did this together and we've learned how to subsitute local items for the name brand hard to find items. We just compare food labels and get something close. My husband lost 38 pound from Sept through December. I'm only 5'2" and didn't have much too loose so I've always had trouble with that last 5 pounds. I found I lost 14 pounds and I'm VERY pleased. I didn't realize that in my late 30's my body had shifted and weight was starting to accumulate around my waist. My husband was sporting a spare set of, as he calls them, tires and now looks and feels amazing. The doctor has said we can continue on the diet and my husband will just up his calories to the doctor recommended amount. With my activity level,limited, and size the doctor was fine with me remaining at 1600. I highly reccommend this book. It will take some effort, planning and does cost a bit more in food. Once you're on it for a while you figure out how to manage the costs and the menu to create something that is easy to have as a daily lifestyle. This also allows for the occasional treat without feeling guilty and gaining weight. I am very thankful we found this book as we are much more healthy.
 Flat Belly Diet January 8, 2009
The book has good content but we are unable to follow the recipes as Australia doesn't have the same products as USA.
It would have been good if the author or publisher added an appendix with comparison products we could relate to.
Dawn.

I am not happy I spent this much dosh for such a stupid book!
I knew it was stupid but I was stupid to buy it!

I'm in fairly good shape, but have always had problems with getting a flat belly. Any weight I'd gain would go to straight to my stomach which is the worst place to hold fat! I read a review on this book and the information made a lot of sense so I decided to try it. The book provides a lot of good information, tips and good recipes. The initial 4-day anti bloat wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It definitely gives you a jump start to getting a flatter belly. I've also been exercising regularly (cardio and weight lifting) so I'm sure doing this in addition to the diet has helped. I've also incorporated (most of the time) the MUFAS to my meals as they describe in the book. It isn't hard to follow. Just make sure you have some of the MUFAS when eating meals.
