Another one I just read about..........

I read an article on "The Abs Diet" by David Zinczenko
The basic plan is
1. Eat 6 times a day
2. Make flat-belly foods your staples
3. Skip belly-fattening foods
4. Use quickie workouts that work

1. It improves the levels of blood-sugar hormone insulin, which reduces belly fat and faster weight loss.
An Australian study found dieters eating six meals lose double the fat of those getting the exact same calories from three meals.

2. Studies show that people who eat more good fat - from nuts, olive oil and fish - have smaller waists. Another study found that women who eat mostly fiber-rich carbs have the best waist to hip ratio.
Also: plenty of lean protein has been found to double belly-fat loss.

3. Bad fats, red meats, alcohol and processed foods all cause hormonal changes linked to excess belly fat.

4. A University of Alabama study found that total body exercises get rid of more belly fat than ab exercises alone. Reason? Metabolism increases, triggering greater fat loss all over.

Side note: Along with eating as this plan mentions, you should try for two 30min walks a week and use "The Abs Diet Workout" DVD three times per week. (the DVD is a mix of toning moves: crunches, push-ups, lunges,etc).
**which I think you should do atleast 30 min of walking each day, if not more, but this only says twice a week**

Also, it says that a University of Washington study shows that calcium helps female dieters shed 81% belly fat.
