The nutritional fad is the latest of the Flat Belly Diet and the concept of "Belly Flattening Foods."

Lately there has been much word of mouth about something called the Flat Belly diet that includes foods that are supposed to be able to burn fat stomach. This belly fat – aka visceral fat – resides in the abdominal cavity and can surround and impact the functioning of internal organs, making fat stomach potentially more dangerous than subcutaneous fat. Subcutaneous fat is what makes the tire "dreaded alternative" or "beer belly" that most people are long familiar.

The Flat Belly Diet was formulated in response to a study conducted in Spain, where eleven people who were overweight in offspring of diabetic, 3 were fed the mixed diet with equal amount of calories each with a different preparation of carbohydrates and fats . One diet was rich in carbohydrates, a diet was rich in saturated and one> Diet was rich in monounsaturated fatty acids. People spend 4 weeks on each diet.

According to proponents of the magazine Prevention Diet, flat stomach, the researchers found that people who consumed diets rich in monounsaturated fat lost more weight without extra exercise. However, in interpreting the findings are published in the paper itself, this statement is doubtful. Here's what the study says: "RESULTS weight, body composition and restingenergy expenditure remained unchanged during 3 successive periods of food. "

And while the Flat Belly Diet provides a diet rich in monounsaturated fat reductions in weight and visceral fat, here is what is published in the study. "Using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, we observed that when patients were fed a CHO-enriched diet (carbohydrates), fat mass was redistributed to the filing of the abdomen, while the accumulation of fat decreased from peripherywith isocaloric MUFA-rich (MUFA) and high-SAT (saturated fat) diets. "

What this means – despite the propaganda by the Flat Belly Diet – is that schemes monounsaturated and saturated fat resulted in less "stomach" accumulation of fat that diets high in carbohydrates. The researchers also clear that the weight and percentage body fat are unchanged after all 3 food interventions.

Here is the conclusion as published in the paper,"CONCLUSIONS-An isocaloric MUFA-rich diet prevents central fat redistribution and the postprandial decrease in the expression of peripheral adiponectin gene and insulin resistance induced by a diet rich in carbohydrates in insulin-resistant subjects."

Thus, despite statements made by the advocators of the flat belly diet, diet high in monounsaturated fat had no effect on weight loss or percentage body fat and a diet rich in saturated fats is alsoeffective than mono-unsaturated system in preventing visceral – Belly – grease buildup. And these results have been found in people who were overweight and the offspring of diabetic patients. Not exactly the results that change lives are they?

The inclusion of certain types of foods reduced calorie eating program does not change the truth that the Flat Belly Diet is just the latest edition of an external authority, the program decided to eat just one othergimmick that applies exhausted, old, ill conceived as hope: "Eat and think your way thin.

You do not take my word, you can view the summary of the study for yourself. I have trouble trusting the hype that surrounds the Flat Belly Diet seen how these findings have been twisted. Accordingly, the Flat Belly Diet should be considered just another plan, a plan – like all others – who do not deserve tooyour time or excitement.
