    Nichole Michl: Before and After

    Nichole, a 46-year-old graphic designer, says that even though she's managed to take weight off over the years, she was never able to get rid of her belly fat. To help her stick to the plan, she told everyone she knew that she was starting the Flat Belly Diet. "That way," she says, "there was no backing out." She even brought her Flat Belly dishes to a picnic! But instead of feeling deprived, she says she was happy to be eating much healthier food.

    These days, with the support of her family and coworkers, she's thrilled with the weight she's lost so far, and plans to keep on going. "With this kind of weight loss plus a flatter belly-it's a lifeplan," she says.

    Julie Plavsic: Before and After

    After having a baby a couple of years ago, Julie, an immigration lawyer, says she's followed a number of diets in an attempt to lose the last ten stubborn pounds-but nothing worked.

    At first, she says, looking at 1,600 calories per day on the Flat Belly Diet, she didn't think she'd be able to stick with it. "But it wasn't hard because the food was so filling," she says. The most challenging aspect for Julie was changing her thinking about food and learning what was-and wasn't-healthy. "I never realized that belly fat can be more dangerous than fat on other parts of the body. With this diet, I'm not only making by body thinner, but healthier."

    Kathy Brechner: Before and After

    Kathy, 53, says she didn't have that much weight to lose-just five pounds. "But they were the toughest five pounds I've ever tried to get off in my life," she says. She was also concerned that at mid-life the number on the scale could start creeping up, and with a family history of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure, she didn't want that to happen.

    That's when she heard about the Flat Belly Diet and its emphasis on eating MUFAs (monounsaturated fatty acids) and the Mediterranean-type foods. But she was concerned about how she'd construct the meals so she could eat with her family. As it turns out, "it wasn't hard at all," she says. "There are so many meal ideas to choose from!"

    Evelyn Gomer: Before and After

    Evelyn married late in life and, after living in New York City for many years (where staying slim wasn't a problem for her), she and her new husband moved to the suburbs. "For whatever reason, I let myself go," she says. "Completely." When she and her spouse moved back to the city, however, she wanted to return to her old weight-and decided to give the Flat Belly Diet a try.

    She first thing she found was that she never felt hungry-and was surprised at some of the foods she could eat. "I adore nuts," she says. "I still can't believe that something so fattening can be so healthy!"

      This is a fluke... I live in Ridgeville IN and there is no Helen Miller, or Jeanie, or a Donna. They are all the same pictures of the same people; and they do not live in this town of 800 people. Read more on walletpop.com to see how this scam works

      DO NOT TRY THE ACAI BERRY/ COLOGENIX TRIAL MEMBERSHIP IT IS A TOTAL RIP OFF.

      Iamsuzqt 12:27:10 AM Mar 10 2009

      DO NOT TRY THE ACAI BERRY COLOGENIX FREE TRIAL - IT IS A TOTAL RIP OFF. THEY BILL YOU BEFORE YOU EVEN GET THE PRODUCT (WHICH COMES ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER THE EXPECTED DATE OF DELIVERY) AND THEN TELL YOU THAT YOU HAVE 15 DAYS FROM ORDER NOT FROM TRYING THE PRODUCT. WHEN I CALLED TO CANCEL THE SHIPMENT, THEY INSTEAD BILLED FOR TWO ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS. IN ADDITION, THE PRODUCTS DID NOT WORK. I DID NOT LOSE THE WEIGHT!

      I have been trying to lose weight for a while, I found this site following this girls diet. I tired her combo and it worked for me. I have lost over 23 pounds so far. www.daniellesdiet.com/diet

      I think anyone who really believes they can lose weight WITHOUT exercising is not serious about losing weight. This book, while having some solid idea's, is far from any normal person's reality. No one wants to spend all day shopping for foods on a grocery list like some treasure hunt looking for foods that are in a specialty stores. I lost 60 lbs starting in late July...I still have another 60 to go (the hardest!), but I eat better and healthier (mostly chicken, fish and salads). I exercise 3-5 days a week, but I'm hardly Tony Little fanatical about it. I use workout DVD's, ride a bike, kickbox, weight train (my fave thing to do!) walk, and use a Total BodyWorks system that uses my own weight to drive the workout. For those who read that book, use caution...there is no such thing as an easy way to lose weight!

      I'm glad that I'm not the only one to notice that the after pictures are wearing better fitting jeans and that they're standing straighter with their stomachs sucked in.

      The ONLY "diet" program that actually works is the Weight Watcher's program and it's not really a diet program. It's a reinvent your life program where YOU take control of yourself, not letting some pudgy diva like Jenny Craig do all the work for you. WW teaches you how to cook for yourself, eat properly, and has a long proven track record of success. I eat what I want, when I want it, and then I eat in moderation. I stop when I'm satisfied, not when I'm full. I also exercise more. The WW commercials are correct: DIETS DON'T WORK. Only desperate fools fall for the Jenny Craig, NutriSystem, and all those other horrid box food diets and in the end wind up fatter than ever once their program ends; the only thing that got truly thin was their wallets.

      If anyone reads this article and actually falls for it, the writer of the article wrote it for them. Seriously, if you look at the before and after pictures, the women are wearing high-wasted jeans or pants...shorter tops....bad bras or no bra...the lighting is darker...their posture is slouchy and they have a lean-forward look to them....and the after pictures... black pants...longer tops...standing stick straight with shoulders back...lighting is much better... they have great bras. I mean come on! How dumb can they think we are? Please DONT follow this article! Go to Weight Watchers...learn how to eat right...get on a excercise regimen. Get up and move! Then post your own before and after pics...and prove how great you look by being the smarter AOL'er!!
