If you’ve been hearing a lot recently about a diet that was on the Rachael Ray show that promotes a flat tummy in less than 3 weeks with weight loss results of well over 25 pounds then today I plan to clear the air regarding this diet in my flat belly diet review. In addition to finding out how and whether this diet works, I’ll also make a suggestion for another proven diet that nearly 1 million people were on last year.
How the Flat Belly Diet Works The focus of this diet is on something known as MUFAs or monounsaturated fat. These fats do not store as readily as other calories and for the most part will leave your body in about the same amount as you ingest. To top that off you also get a feeling of fullness from eating them, so no more starving to lose weight. By eating many foods that are high in MUFAs you will continually be consuming less calories in regards to what your body stores on a daily basis, this is the key to this diets success.
Tell me the bad news Unfortunately you must also eat MUFAs on a daily basis to maintain this diet, this might sound like a strange negative but just wait until you try it. The food selection you are allowed is somewhat tight and foods that contain MUFAs in general tend to start turning the dieter off after a while like over-eating any food would. The other and much worse problem is that by focusing on the same form of calories day in and day out (fats) your body becomes adapted very quickly and as a result your metabolism will start to become sluggish as the same foods every day lack the ability to trigger your metabolic processes in the same way a varied diet can.
The Verdict As this is also a low calorie diet expect weight gain unfortunately as soon as you are finished the diet as your metabolism will be considerably slower than normal. As the flat belly diet suggests you should maintain this diet for life to keep the results. If you can do this, it is a very good health oriented diet, a little heavy on fat based foods although.
An alternative diet you could try is calorie shifting which had nearly 1 million people following it last year. Unlike low cal diets its results are essentially permanent as instead of avoiding food and calories you embrace them although in a unique way which causes your body to lose massive amounts of weight, very quickly.

If you’ve been seeking out the diet on the Rachael Ray show recently then you’ve found it. In this exposing article I will break down the flat belly diet and explain the pros and cons of this very popular new diet. Does Rachel Rays New Diet make the cut?
Pros of the Flat Belly Diet
This diet is great for weight loss while you’re on it as it restricts you to monounsaturated fatty acids which are fats commonly found in avocados, many nuts and seeds, chocolate and most healthy oils such as olive oil. You eat 4 400 calorie meals per day without exceeding 1600 calories, so this is considered a somewhat low calorie diet.
The main idea is that by eating a lot of foods that contain monounsaturated fatty acids also known as MUFAs that your body will feel full and you will be able to make it through the diet without feeling as though you’re always starving. The other main benefit is that MUFAs generally do not store as fat but are flushed out of the body instead, so you do not put on weight from them as you would as the fats in potato chips for example.
Cons of the Flat Belly Diet
MUFAs and virtually nothing but! It’s true that this diet also lets you eat fresh vegetables and fruit and a variety of whole grains, when it comes down to it you need to eat MUFAs with every meal, and if you aren’t the type of person who likes fatty foods you may be in hot water. Beyond this there is the simple fact that you need to continue eating a somewhat loosened version of the diet afterward to keep the weight off. That’s right it’s the diet that never ends essentially.
The Rebound Effect
So what happens if you don’t continue with the diet? Well your now slowed down metabolism thanks to a low calorie repetitive diet will not be able to keep up with your calorie consumption and as a result you will put on an awful lot of weight that you otherwise normally wouldn’t (Or at least not as fast). There is a secret to stopping the rebound effect, it is a diet known as calorie shifting which can be done on its own or after another diet that slows down your metabolism. Calorie shifting is the only diet that focuses intensely upon your metabolism and boosting it up as opposed to starving the body of calories. Because of its unique method of dieting it actually triggers your metabolism to reach its maximum potential and stay there at all times. As a result you end up burning a lot of fat while being able to actually eat and best of all the hastened metabolism carries on even after you decide to stop the diet. So not only is there no rebound effect, but you actually keep burning fat for weeks to come!

Are you interested in trying the flat belly diet that was on the Rachael Ray Show? If so then you’ll want to read my critique review of the flat belly diet that was on the Rachael Ray show and find out whether this diet truly can have you losing 25 pounds in 3 weeks as they claim and most importantly will it be able to keep the weight off? I’ll explain how the flat belly diet works and whether it really is the best new diet to try in 2009.
Rachael Ray’s Flat Belly Diet
This diet is focused on the consumption of monounsaturated fatty acids which are otherwise known as MUFAs for short. These are healthy fats that are not absorbed into the body as most other fats. They are broken down more efficiently and a majority is flushed out of the body and not stored as fat. The diet itself is excellent for those who are willing to commit to a low calorie diet (1600) for an extended period of time. The one major drawback and this is a problem with any form of low calorie dieting is that there is a rebound effect where weight is put back on again after you stop the diet at an alarming rate. There is a solution to this however, and best of all this can be done following a flat belly diet or instead of it.
The Solution to the Rebound Effect
It’s called calorie shifting and unlike all other diets, its entire focus is on targetting the metabolism and boosting it. This is a great way to stop the rebound effect after following a low calorie diet, but its even better on its own because it will take your average metabolic rate and raise it to its peak level. This effect is actually triggered through eating, although there is a special way in which you’re eating and the types of foods which create this effect. Best of all the rebound effect is negated through a continually fast metabolism that is actually stimulated by eating, you actually continue to lose weight after the diet because of this!
