  2. The Basics • “15 lbs in 32 days” • “A flat belly is about food and attitude, not a single crunch required.” • MUFA enriched diet used to “spot reduce” belly fat. • Initial four day “jumpstart” is used to decrease water weight and get participators motivated. • Four small meals/ day

  3. Phases of Diet • First 4 days:“Jumpstart” • Dedicated to losing water weight and decreasing bloating • Must avoid certain foods • 1,200-1,400 calories/day • 2 L “sassy water”/day • 28 day plan • Four 400 calorie meals/ day • 1,600 calories/day • MUFA at each meal • 80 recipe meal plan

  4. Foods to Avoid During Jumpstart • Salt • Excess carbs • Raw fruits,vegetables • Gassy foods: legumes, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, onions, peppers, and citrus fruits • Fried foods • Sugar alcohols • Gum • Carbonated drinks • Spicy foods

  5. Sample Menu: Four Day “ Jumpstart” • Breakfast: 1 cup Rice Krispies, 1 cup skim milk, 1/2 cup pineapple, 1/4 cup sunflower seeds • Lunch: 3 oz chunk light tuna in water, 1 cup carrots, 1 light string cheese • Dinner: 3 oz chicken breast, 1 cup mushrooms sautéed in 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1/2 cup brown rice • Snack: pineapple smoothie (1 cup skim milk, 4 oz. pineapple, and 1 tablespoon flaxseed) • 2 liters sassy water

  6. Sample Menu • Breakfast: Apple almond oatmeal • Lunch: Pesto ham and cheese sandwich on whole-grain English muffin with lettuce & tomato and 1 cup grape tomatoes • Dinner: 3 oz grilled salmon steak with 2 tablespoons almonds, 1 1/2 cup green beans • Snack: 1/4 cup hummus with 2 tablespoons pine nuts and 1 cup red pepper strips

  7. Pros • Stresses healthy, Mediterranean diet w/ unprocessed foods such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and nuts. • Recipes made up for you and prepared in cook book. • Easy to follow ( minimal calorie counting). • Four small meals a day. • Can get some people to eat breakfast.

  8. Cons • Some “avoid” foods are good for you. • 1,600 calorie diet for everyone. • Exercise not promoted much. • Wt loss can be largely contributed to water loss. • No evidence MUFAs cause belly fat loss. • 40% fat diet, higher than ADA req. of 25-30%. • Little red meat (1 per mo).

  9. Scientific Evidence and Analysis • 2007 article in Diabetes Care addresses MUFA rich diet preventing central fat distribution. • http://web.ebscohost.com/ehost/detail?vid=4&hid=7&sid=55b37c26-9e40-46cc-8721-b65e165cf166%40sessionmgr11&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZQ%3d%3d#db=aph&AN=26098634 • Only study directly linked to claims

  10. Perspective • Mimics Mediterranean diet. • Monounsaturated fats are more heart healthy than other types of fat. • RD designed diet. • Not harmful diet but claims misleading. • “Jumpstart” and “Sassy water” are elements of fad diet. • 15 lbs in 32 days not practical.

  11. Conclusion • Mediterranean diet may be better option. • MUFA emphasized in diet (1/meal) • Four 400 calorie meals/day • Lifestyle changes, exercise, and slower weight loss is more practical plan for weight loss.
