Product Description
Prevention magazine is the country's most authoritative, trustworthy, and innovative source for practical health, nutrition, and fitness information. Now, its editors bring you a weight-loss plan that's specifically designed to target your number-one trouble spot: BELLY FAT. For women over 40, 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, help dieters lose more weight--in their bellies specifically--and keep it off longer. Flat Belly Diet! will lead you step by step, day by day, meal by meal toward a flatter belly...and a longer, healthier life.

 People in Rural Areas - DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK November 19, 2008

Do NOT get this book if the following circumstances apply to you:
You live in a rural area. If you do, many of the items on their shopping list and meal planners will not be available to you. I would have to drive about a hundred miles to get some of these. Our local grocery stores do NOT have the following:
Cremini Mushrooms
Ginger Root
Mint Leaves Fresh
Cold-Pressed Organic Flaxseed Oil
Packages of Organic Deli Turkey
Tilapia
Frozen Peaches (mixed fruit but not peaches)
It is a very "fluffy" book. Lots of feel good type messages. Lots of personal testimonials - which are people that were provided all the necessary ingredients to do this diet. I guess it could realistically be done by an upper middle class income person living in a metropolitan area.
Basically this book is JUST a big endorsement for BRANDS like:
Clif, Odwalla, Larabar, Luna, Amy's, Seeds of change, Cedarlane, Yves, Boca, just to name a few meal replacement (bars and frozen) the sad part is that I have never heard of any of them. The only brands I was familiar with: Natures Path and Kashi. Of these particular 44 items listed, those two familiar brands comprised 9 of the total items.
Warning Warning Warning to ALL rural librarians:
DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK FOR YOUR LIBRARY!!!!
IT IS TOTALLY USELESS TO YOUR PATRONS!!!
I am totally PO'd because I wasted so much money on this book. My state funding has already been cut by 5%. I have been told to expect another 25% cut by the summer. (just in time for my children's summer reading program)
I know other libraries are also going through tough times - especially rural libraries!
DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!
 Dreaming of a super flat belly..is different from getting one ! November 19, 2008
BlueBird (Los Angeles, CA)
Interesting, but not so new. One point: yes, it's okay to eat fats - they actually help dieters not to be too hungry and to last longer with smaller amounts of food. Not a bad proposition. The rest of the book sets the dieters up for some punitive "restrictions" again....There's a much better approach - see [...] (only in Los Angeles and Arizona right now). The Magic of Being Thin seminars actually recommend no exercise, or very mild exercise untill the dieter starts losing. A much better book is the good "FIT or FAT" sold here on Amazon. Also, try "FAT is a Feminist Issue". Now, if you don't mind losing slowly (1 or 2 lbs a week, max) "The Age Free Zone" book is great because it explains clearly the fat storage metabolism, and how to bypass that. A much better read, too.
Don't bother !!! November 18, 2008

This book is certainly not worth the money and has no new useful information. I wish I could have read an excert from the book as I would not have wasted my money. There is nothing in this book that you don't already know if you are trying to either lose weight or just eat better !!!!!!!
 Let's Follow A Low Fad Diet November 15, 2008

The Flat Belly Diet is another eat right and exercise diet book focusing on a woman's vulnerability - her belly - the center of her creativity and her ego. The reason women are still struggling and waging war against their food is not addressed here. We eat to fill an empty heart. We are stressed about our endless to-do list, so we don't sleep well, jolt our bodies awake with caffeine and eat junk food to surge and crash and on to the next chore. Many of us will have bellies no matter what - it is in our genes. If we want to change, we have to accept ourselves as we are and manage our stress. We have to make ourselves a priority on the to-do list, create time for the self - that's why exercise often doesn't happen because we do it for the self. To augment our health and fitness program we need to address the root cause of self-sabotage as explained in my bookAddicted to Stress: A Woman's 7 Step Program to Reclaim Joy and Spontaneity in LifeAnd if you have a belly, try belly dancing.
Nothing New and Overstated November 14, 2008
Kim Daniel (FL)
Many, many books have addressed satiety and mono unsaturated fats. But this simplistic approach that adding them to all meals changes your diet so dramatically, leaves out many important nutritional components. No breakthroughs here.
