(Food-Beverage-News.Com, November 13, 2014 ) Oakland, CA -- One of the most common aspirations of health buffs, as well as figure-conscious individuals, is having a flat belly. For this reason, Finesseur, makers of contemporary kitchenware, has turned their focus on the Flat Belly Diet, believing its concept deserves a closer look.
Developed by Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD, and Liz Vaccariello, the Flat Belly Diet's promise is weight loss through consumption of "good" fats. Although evidence is limited, the few research studies done relative to this diet plan have shown that even if an individual eats fats - the monounsaturated kind only, but not the saturated kind - a significant decrease in weight and body fat is achievable.
Finesseur spokesperson Allison Montgomery says: "We believe the Flat Belly Diet presents an interesting weight-loss concept every dieter will be curious about. By sharing an overview, along with our insights on how to make it more effective, we want to help dieters get to know this weight-loss plan better and see if it can work for them," explains Montgomery.
The belly fat reduction diet plan
The Flat Belly Diet follows a strict plan for reducing belly fat. In the first four days, dieters are encouraged to eat four times a day, consuming only 400 calories every meal. The meal should only include foods that are rich in monounsaturated fats -- those that can be found in nuts, plant-based foods, and heart-healthy olive oil. They should also eat every four hours.
While on this diet, individuals are prohibited to use salt on their meals and eat processed and carbohydrate-rich foods, as well as those that can induce gas and bloating like beans, onions, and broccoli. The Flat Belly Diet also encourages dieters to drink up to two liters of water every day, with a mixture of lemon, ginger root, mint leaves, and cucumber.
Following the initial four-day diet, individuals will be on a four-week Mediterranean diet that allows only 1,600 calories a day. Montgomery stresses how crucial this period is for anyone who wants their Flat Belly Diet to be a success.
"Following a Mediterranean Diet menu requires precise food measurements, as one needs to be on a strict 1,600-calorie-per-day diet. It can be tough for anyone without any calorie-counting experience. There's no need to worry too much, though, as all you need is a practical tool that can accurately measure your food. Our digital food scale, for example, can help you get precise measurements of your food for accurate calorie counts," relates Montgomery.
The weight that one wants to lose is attainable with the Flat Belly Diet. "As with any other diet, the Flat Belly Diet teaches individuals to watch what they eat and be smarter with their food choices. It brings weight-loss results that can be attributed to eating healthy and using health-boosting tools that help one live a healthier lifestyle," concludes Montgomery.
