The FLAT Belly Plan

It's really called the Flat Belly Diet but I don't like to use the D word.  To be honest, I've been skinny my whole life up until I had a few kids.  After 1, it wasn't so bad. But after #3 and not a consistent workout plan, my belly has left a lot to be desired.  It's been tough to nip those "after dinner sweets" cravings that I developed while pregnant. And also, I can eat a whole bag of chips in one sitting.  That's just what I love to do.

Anyways, I don't feel good.  I don't feel good when my belly is hanging over my belt or that I have to wear A-Line shirts that cover my belly.  Yes, I think my body type runs in my family but so does diabetes and I'm going to try to do what I can to post pone that as much as I can. 

So instead of Diet, I like to say healthy eating and watching what you eat. 
Rules:
(1) Eat every 4 hours, a meal of 400 calories
(2) Eat a MUFA (mono-unsaturated fat) with every mean (nuts, avocado, Olive Oil, olives, dark chocolate)

These MUFA's are healthy fats that lower your bad cholesterol and also target belly fat.

I went into this to change some eating habits and eat a little more healthy.  So, I try to eat a MUFA at every meal. I do still drink my coffee in the morning and usually something alcoholic at night, but I try to limit my meals to 400 calories or less. 

In a week, I feel better! My belly fat is reducing and I can tell when I overeat. All good things, right?!  I'm trying out new recipes and yes, I do add a bit of salt. I'm a firm believer of eating things that taste good. I think I get that from my dad.
