Flat Belly Diet

[mikitta]

It seems to be the latest craze - a Mediterranean diet plan remarketed and touting targeted belly fat loss.



It was featured on The Today Show recently and I've heart a buzz about it on other sites.

The book sells for $32.

Has anyone read it? How does it compare to The Sonoma Diet or The Wine Country Diet or any of the other Mediterranean plan books already on the market? I'm not buying the sensational claims of targeted belly fat loss, but the overviews I've managed to dig up seem to point to it being a sensible and sustainable plan.

LOL in fact, I'm not in the market for ANY diet book (unless it totally knocks my socks off for it's well compiled data, motivational message and exemplary plan presentation), but since this plan seems to be reaching CRAZE status - I was curious if anyone had picked it up already.

God Bless,

I used to like Prevention magazine, and thought they always had fairly well researched information -and that m ight still be the case -but in recent years -they seem to have gone the way of the idiotic women's magazines sold at the checkout stand that proclaim lose 20lbs in 2 days by eating Peeps... or something ridiculous... they've gone way too fad dietesque and away from sensibleness..

The Sonoma Diet book I'm not sure how well researched it was - but it's really the way I've been eating for the past 15 years -unless you get portions under control it's not that effective...

The You on a Diet doctors also go on and on about how evil belly fat is - and how Waist management is more important than Weight management - the size of your waistline as an indicator of health and future health... They provided some fairly simplistic (it's appeal to oprah readers so they didn't use big words -which was good) reasoning behind it and it made sense.

Do I beleive that any diet can target a specific body part? no -weight is going to come off where it's gong to come off... but if the diet is sensible and is able to be stuck to long term (like the rest of a person's life) then it's worth trying
