If you are a women with a waist measurement over 35 inches or a man whose waist measures larger than 40, the National Institutes of Health recommends slimming down. Flat Belly Diets work because it gives your body the opportunity to use its backup energy source carbohydrates “glycogen” that’s stored in your muscles. Decreasing the amount of carbohydrates for a short period of time eliminates excess fluid and carbohydrates.
Flat Belly Diets work best when certain foods that produce volume and air are not eaten; such as bulky raw vegetables and gassy foods which are difficult for the body to digest.
