My husband and son are going to see my mother-in-law this week. I will stay back (with my two dogs) and work/watch the house. Their absence will give me the perfect opportunity to try the "Flat Belly Diet." I know, I know...another "diet". This book was written by the Editor-In-Chief of Prevention magazine. I read through it before I bought it. It's not a diet. It's pretty much all the stuff I already know. But I bought it for two reasons. 1) I wanted to learn more about how a diet high in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) can help prevent and diminish belly fat (my problem area) and 2) get the meal plan. I just got the pocket guide (not the hard cover book), and it was only about $8. One thing I'm worried about--Sassy Water. I don't know if I can drink water with ginger, spearmint leaves, cucumber, and lemon. Sounds gross.
The Jumpstart is only 4 days, and I can do anything for 4 days. It's supposed to help reduce bloating. I'm pretty sure this gut isn't from "bloating" but whatever. I think this is going to be a cleansing. Am I going to need to be near a bathroom at all times? Do I need Depends "adult briefs"? Yeah, that's gross too. But I need to try something different. I need a plan. A goal.
How bout this for a goal? 5 lbs in one week. There, I've said it. I've written it. It's out there in the stratosphere. Done deal. And I'm going to blog about it. And put it all out there for the stratosphere to read. Yikes!

Belly fat is my problem too. We affectionately refer to it as my innertube. I can see me losing weight in my feet, my wrists, and just below my bust making the innertube look more extreme. It's aggravating!
ReplyDeleteI do the cleansing thing too to jump start and 5lbs is totally doable. Be careful losing that much that fast too often though.
Let me know how it goes.
Oh, also...

I'm going to start it on Wednesday since that's when my family leaves to go out of town. The only reason I chose 5lbs is because it's cleansing. My problem is the lower abdomen--medical term, panus. It hangs over and it's really hard to get off. My upper abdomen is going down, and I feel more fit in general since working out. I'll definitely let you know.
