This video is from 2010 when I was running my fitness studio in Middleton, WI full time. The content is very good. My presence on camera? It's come a long way since then 🙂
Bottom Line?
"The Flat Belly Diet" book is a perfect example of our willingness to be deceived by the health, fitness and weight-loss industry. The premise of this entire book is based on One study of 11 people. A study that had three separate groups. Hence, not quite four people in each diet group they looked at. The group that ate a diet higher in mono-unsaturated fats lost the most weight.
OK, great! Let's take this pilot work and create a much-larger research protocol and really look at this thing. Then write the book.
Of course, very often, the exact opposite is what happens and you end up with a book or some other newly discovered 'secret' like this one, which does nothing more than sell false hope and unsubstantiated claims; and confuse people who are earnestly trying to shed some weight and get fitter and healthier.
