Implementing any new diet program will take attitude and lifestyle adjustments for it to be successful. The Flat Belly Diet, which came out on the diet scene with a bang, focuses on "MUFAs," which is an acronym for monounsaturated fatty acids. MUFAs are healthy fats found in avocados, peanut butter, sunflower seeds, and yes, even dark chocolate. The Flat Belly Diet makes it clear that every meal must have a serving of "MUFAs" to support weight loss. Implementing this diet is simple with proper preparation and meal planning.
Step 1
Prepare your kitchen with plenty of healthy monounsaturated fatty acids, which are found in peanut butter, avocados, sunflower seeds, olive oil and flaxseeds. Have a wide assortment of these "MUFAs" available to incorporate into every meal, suggests one of the Flat Belly Diet founders, Cynthia Sass.
Step 2
Purchase a wide variety of fruit, from apples to berries, for your floating meal requirements. Fruit smoothies are also a large part of the Flat Belly Diet, so be prepared to create a variety of flavorful, colorful smoothies. Each day of the 4-Day Anti-Bloat Jumpstart, you get to enjoy a refreshing smoothie.
Step 3
Track your success and follow specific dietary guidelines online at FlatBellyDiet.com. This offers you specifics on how to incorporate the right portion of "MUFAs" into every meal and when to enjoy your fruit smoothies. This website also is a platform to surround yourself with a community of fellow dieters.
Step 4
Pick your "MUFA" of choice for use in cooking and salad dressings. They may include canola oil, flaxseed oil, olive oil, peanut oil, pesto sauce, safflower oil, sesame oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, or walnut oil. All these options are loaded with healthy fats to satiate hunger. Use these oils in a wide variety of meals as a sauce or for sauteing. Recipes from the diet are available at Prevention.com.
