The Flat Belly Diet: Just Another Empty Promise Despite Its Claims, the Flat Belly Diet Doesn't Hold Up to Common Sense or Science By Angie Mohr, published Aug 08, 2008 The newest entry in the get-slim-without-effort arena is the Flat Belly Diet. The Flat Belly Diet is front page news this week with its claims of easy weight loss and body shaping. Prevention Magazine and Rachel Ray are singing the praises of this no-exercise diet. The Flat Belly Diet is supposed to be a "scientific breakthrough". I would love to be able to get a perfectly flat belly just by eating certain foods. But how do the Flat Belly Diet's claims hold up to common sense and nutritional guidelines? Let's have a look. Flat Belly Diet Claim #1: Lose up to 15 pounds in 32 days. Sounds fantastic, doesn't it? But it is medically unsound for most people and would require monitoring by a doctor for safety reasons. Nutrition experts say that a slow, steady loss of weight is healthiest and most sustainable. Losing more than 2 pounds per week can be dangerous. Flat Belly Diet Claim #2: Never do a single crunch. The problem with this claim is that you will never have a flat belly that is not also toned. In order to tone your abdomen, you need to exercise the muscles. And that means ab crunches. In fact, the whole diet ignores the importance of exercise and purports that the way to a flat belly is by eating certain foods. Flat Belly Diet Claim #3: Conquer emotional eating. There are a multitude of reasons that people overeat. Truly understanding your eating habits takes more analysis than can be found in a book. It's a much more complex issue than the proponents of the Flat Belly Diet are making it out to be. Flat Belly Diet Claim #4: Eat delicious foods and never feel hungry. The recipes presented in the Flat Belly Diet are a mish-mash of other diets, without a central theme. Most of the recipes are relatively low calorie (which is what actually makes them work) but there are a lot of high-glycemic carbohydrates on this diet, which is contrary to current scientific nutritional research findings. associatedcontent.com
