Given the extreme interest, and the healthy benefit of the Flat
Belly Diet, here is the Sassy water recipe, as near as we can find.
We cannot completely guarantee the accuracy.
Sassy Water
2 liters water (approximately 8 1/2 cups)
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1 medium cucumber sliced thinly and peeled
1 medium lemon sliced thinly
12 small spearmint leaves
The
Flat Belly Diet appears to be one of the most popular, effective
and healthy diets in America. One week
after releasing her book, the Flat Belly Diet became a best
seller , for good reason. The diet is high in MUFA's,
(Monounsaturated fatty acids), and is well backed by research
that shows MUFA's target belly fat, and promote overall health.
MUFA rich foods include all nuts, peanut butter, olives, dark
chocolate, and all oils except palm and coconut oil.
The
Flat Belly Diet mandates that you drink Sassy water for four days
before beginning the diet. Sassy water soothes the GI tract, and
helps the body eliminate water. During the first four days of the
Flat Belly Diet, women are told to avoid foods that cause bloating
– highly processed foods, white breads and pasta, salt, gas
producing vegetables and fruits, and carbonated beverages. Chewing
gum is also to be avoided for four days. The result of just
drinking Sassy water has yielded seven pounds of weight loss in just four
days.
The
healthy Flat Belly Diet then limits calories to 1600 calories a
day, divided into four meals. It is a change of eating habits,
designed to make sure you are never hungry. The meals include a
MUFA food every four hours.
Researchers put nine overweight women on the Flat Belly Diet for
twenty-eight days. The Flat Belly Diet resulted in a thirty-three
percent weight loss. MRI images, before and after, excited
researchers when they saw a definite reduction in belly fat, as
well as an increase in overall better health, including lower
cholesterol and blood pressure. Fat in the mid-section has
repeatedly been shown to release a series of hormones that promote
metabolic syndrome, a cluster of symptoms that ultimately causes
diabetes, heart disease and possibly cancer.
We
think the Flat Belly Diet is a great way to get a jump on the New
Year. We are all tired of diets that either do not work, leave us
hungry, or have unwanted and unhealthy effects . Better health and
a slimmer waist are great goals for the New Year. Please consider
the real benefits of the diet, rather than taking the Sassy water
recipe as a quick fix for bloating. Eating right, combined with
regular exercise, is the only sure way to keep belly fat off, and
maintain good health.
