Flat Belly Diet Early Impressions
Posted by madamlight on December 8, 2008
Wow! Does that sum it up? In the Four-Day Anti-Bloat program I have lost 3.8 lbs. This after pigging out a company Christmas Party, adding back my coffee and skipping the smoothies.
I can only imagine if you kept this to the letter. No wonder people have lost 15 lbs in 32 days. I believe I could be one of those people! I can’t wait to watch that scale decline. Losing 15 from day 1 would put my weight at 153 lbs. That would certainly make me smile.
Reveiw of the first 4 days:
- 11730 - my scale revealed as DCI for all
- 3600 – actual calories devoured in 3 of 4 days
- 2200 – estimated calories devoured day of party
- -1417 – calories burned through exercise
3600 + 2200 – 1417 = 3383 calories to run on for 4 days.
11730 – 3383 = 8347 short fall. This would equate to 2.3 lbs lost in the real world of 3500 calories a pound. Which leads me to believe 1.5 lbs of my loss is coming from the cleansing the first 4 days provides. It reminds me of the colon cleanse I did years ago, making you feel skinny!
I would definitely recommend the Flat Belly Diet to all, even if they only utilized the Four-Day Anti-Bloat! Small lifetime changes are better then those temporary ones.
Dieting is a temporary fix to life long problem, make the small diet changes with huge lifetime profits!
Don’t forget to check my FBD Blog for updates.

I am considering beginning the FBD, but am concerned about giving up coffee. I am addicted to caffeine(two cups/day made of 1/2 caf and 1/2 decaf); afraid to go cold turkey because it will definitely cause a migraine.
Do you think I could start the 4 day Anti-Bloat of FBD by just having one cup of real coffee?
Advice? Advise?

Hi Carol, I did not take the low calorie coffee out of my diet. Although, I did try to drink less. I do not think that it is a do or die thing. I believe that it would probably be best to eliminate coffee from your diet for a weight and bloat thing, but to me it wasn’t worth the trade off in my daily life. Sometimes, things are not all black or all with cream
I would say if you follow the FBD as laid out you will see huge changes! If you modify it slightly you will still see big changes. And even if you make alot of variances there will be positive changes in your body and weight, just not those huge numbers.
I failed at the diet as soon as my life went flying into a million directions. But I won’t file the book away as a failure. This is a plan that can and does work. So, when things settle down (just like my facebook buddies advise) I will jump back in and go for it.
I will be 130 or less some day! I just know it!
