Continued from The Flat Belly Diet.

Is there a specific diet which is designed to help you lose belly fat? Yes, the Flat Belly Diet, for example. Does this diet really work? Yes and no. It works in a sense any good diet works, but its MUFAs’ claims are questionable.

The cleanse requires eating 1,200 calories a day over three meals (each with a MUFA) and a smoothie of skim milk, fruit and flaxseed oil. Another must: 8½ glasses of homemade Sassy Water, a bloat-beating combo of ginger, cucumber, lemon and spearmint leaves. (more…)

Just how hot is The Hot Latin Diet by Manny Alvarez, M.D., Fox News senior medical correspondent?

How does the Hot Latin Diet work? The Hot Latin Diet says you have to limit carbohydrates, the simple ones, and recommends incorporating avocados, tomatillos, garlic and other South American staples into your diet.

Is it possible to lose 10 to 25 pounds quickly? Ian K. Smith, M.D., author of Extreme Fat Smash Diet thinks so. Yes, this is the same guy who wrote The Fat Smash Diet, so Extreme Fat Smash Diet is the follow up to his first book.

How does Extreme Fat Smash Diet work? Extreme Fat Smash consists of three segments; each diet segment lasts seven days. Each segment strictly limits your daily calorie intake and what you can eat.

The first segment of Extreme Fat Smash Diet is very low in calories, which is a red flag. You can only consume about 800 to 900 calories per day. (more…)

Who is the Writing Diet for? Emotional eaters who are creative.

How does the Writing Diet work? Part diet, part therapy. By writing what you are thinking every time you eat (and whenever you want to eat), you can identify those feelings that send you straight to the cookie jar. (more…)

What does the Original Hollywood Celebrity Diet promise? It claims that you can lose up to 10 pounds in just two days.

How does the Original Hollywood Celebrity Diet work? It does not. All you need to do is to take 16 ounces of its vitamin-and-herb-fortified juice-like liquid and mix it with 16 ounces of water and drink it. But there is a catch; you cannot eat any other food.

The reality of the Original Hollywood Celebrity Diet It is important to realize that on this diet you will be consuming nothing but 400 calories of simple carbs (think sugary water) which contains no fiber, fat, or protein. (more…)
