Better still, this diet claims to flatten your belly fast, eliminating love handles, spare tyres, and middle aged spread effectively and speedily. Read on for more details. How the Modified Mediterranean Diet Weight Loss Plan Works. The Mediterranean Diet is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (also known as MUFA's). MUFA's promote satiety, ensuring you feel full for longer. MUFA's also target abdominal fat, in addition to having many other health benefits. For this diet to work you will be incorporating MUFA's with every meal 4 times daily. You will not be consuming any salt. After ensuring that you include one MUFA category with each meal, the rest of the food plan follows along the concept of the Mediterranean Diet. This means incorporating plenty of whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, and limiting the intake of red meat. To kick-start your weight loss you will consume 5000 kilojoules, or 1250 calories, for the first 4 days. After this, you will be limiting your intake to 6,700 kilojoules, or 1600 calories daily. You will also have to drink one full jug of Amrita each day. (Recipe at bottom of article.) What are MUFA's? MUFA's are to be found in olives, dark chocolate, avocado, peanut butter, seeds and nuts, and some oils, such as flax seed, olive, or canola. Who is suited to the modified Mediterranean Diet Plan? Anyone who is looking to lose that excess tummy blubber. Women who have started to feel bloated around the waist. Anyone looking for a weight loss diet that incorporates Mediterranean cuisine. Anyone who is not looking to go into kidney failure. Anyone who wants a sensible weight loss plan with some variety to their daily diet. Anyone who wants to lose weight in a healthy manner. Anyone who cannot give up their chocolate. How much weight will you lose? Following the 6,700 kilojoule plan will generally enable most people to lose about 14 pounds or 6.5 kilos in a month.
