The first phase of the diet—the Jumpstart—is designed to erase belly bloat. This part of the diet is somewhat regimented, since each food is carefully selected to reduce bloat and soothe your digestive tract. For best results, you’ll need to follow the meal plans exactly. You’ll be eating four smaller meals each day which will reduce the amount of food in your digestive system at any one time,cut back on the release of stomach acids, and get your body used to a four-meal-a-day schedule which you’ll follow for the rest of the Flat Belly Diet.
During the Jumpstart, you will:
2 liters water (about 8 ½ cups)
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1 medium cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
1 medium lemon, thinly sliced
12 small spearmint leaves
You’ll learn very quickly that the Flat Belly Diet is different from other diet plans. Cut calories from anywhere in your diet and you will lose pounds. But no other diet can target belly fat specifically the way this diet can. That’s because the Flat Belly Diet contains a significant amount of MUFAs (monounsaturated fats). The unique fats are like little miracle
workers in your belly. When you eat a reduced-calorie diet that’s high in MUFAs, you will not only lose pounds. You will also lose visceral belly fat, the dangerous type of body fat that ups your risk of chronic disease.
You will eat very well on the Flat Belly Diet, as you’ll see when you review your meal plans. There are options for quick, no cook meals, as well as recipes that you can prepare and serve for your whole family on those nights when you have time to cook.
During the Jumpstart, you will:
- Follow your meal plans exactly
- Eat 4 meals a day
- Take a quick 5-minute after-meal walk
- Eat slowly
- Work your mind—using a mind trick at every meal
- Drink a full recipe of Sassy Water every day
