Losing weight is one of the most popular New Year's resolutions, and is made not only on January 01 but repeatedly during the year. Changing your eating habits for a lifetime is the basic for staying trim and healthy, and there are many programs and books ready to help you do that. The newest diet is called Flat Belly Diet: a flat belly is about food and attitude, period (not a single crunch required) by Liz Vaccariello and Cynthia Sass, editors of Prevention magazine. From Amazon: "For women over 40, belly fat is incredibly stealth and incredibly stubborn. It's also the most deadly, contributing to a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, and chronic illness than any other type of fat on your body. Finally, science has helped uncover a key dietary weapon in the fight against belly fat. Monounsaturated fatty acids, or MUFAs, help dieters lose more weight--in their bellies specifically--and keep it off longer. Flat Belly Diet! will lead you step by step, day by day, meal by meal toward a flatter belly...and a longer, healthier life." Check it out at your Albert Lea Public Library.
