I was talking to a colleague today, saying how sometimes it become so difficult to just lose your belly weight / belly fat. You may eat healthy, go exercise and get your body in shape, except many times it takes more effort than you imagine to even lose few pounds for your belly, let alone thinking about flattening your belly. Somehow, the belly seems to have the magic to store fat or retain water and fight with you on the belly battle.
Well, there is another diet specially to help flatten your belly - namely the Flat Belly Diet. It surrounds one main "ingredient" - the MUFAs, which is "Monounsaturated fatty acids, plant-based fats found in some of the world's most delicious foods. Studies show that these good-for-you fats enhance heart health and protect against chronic disease. And now the latest research shows that these dietary superstars may even target fat where it's hardest to lose — in your belly!"
The idea of choosing food that with MUFAs is to help lose fat or water in your belly. I sure do not know that chewing gums will get you swallow air and therefore cause expansion of your belly. And it can also be true that more sodium intake will get you retain more fluid in your belly.
The Flat Belly Diet suggests the particular selection of food and way of eating to help make your belly looks better. The diet sure shows some wonderful recipes including "Chicken, Broccolu and Cashew Stir-Fry" or "Sweet Potatoes with Brown Sugar-Pecan Topping". They are definitely different than what we normally believe the kind of food we need to eat in order to look healthier or indeed prettier!
I just start to read on articles about this diet and it sure sounds appealing and interesting. It simply amazes me that there is a diet now particularly for one single part of our body. Just imagine, what can come next!
