About this item
A weight-loss plan that's specifically designed to target your number-one trouble spot: BELLY FAT. Belly fat is incredibly stealth and incredibly stubborn. It's also the most deadly, contributing to a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, and chronic illness than any other type of fat on your body. Finally, science has helped uncover a key dietary weapon in the fight against belly fat: Monounsaturated fatty acids, or MUFAs. The Flat Belly Diet! will lead you step by step, day by day, meal by meal toward a flatter belly. The secret to this no-hunger plan is eating four meals a day, each featuring one of the five MUFAs: oils, olives, nuts and seeds, avocados, and dark chocolate.
