The Flat Belly Diet seems to have been created just for me. I’m so glad I found this book. This story is told in a very dry, humorous manner by Nicole Bailey. Genetically, she was a skinny minnie, like me. My weight gain happened in college. Nicole’s erupted at age 9 and 12 and 15. Even when she was going to get married, knowing her intended “loved her the way she was” she was still able to avoid the real issue. She shares her struggle with “being fat” and “yo-yo dieting.”Like many people, it took a medical issue to make her wake-up. During her first pregnancy she had gestational diabetes. While she was in the hospital recovering from her c-section, she researched diets and found the Flat Belly Diet. She had to wait to begin the diet until she had recovered from the surgery, but it only built up more momentum. She chose to embrace it; and living in the Caribbean made it easy. She shares the foods you are allowed and what you aren’t allowed. And like ‘all diets', exercise plays a big part, but luckily crunches are not necessary. We all say “yeah”!! Nicole says that it isn’t so much a diet as it is a life-style.This diet has two parts: a 4-day Anti-Bloat Jumpstart; followed by the 4-Week Plan. Here are 5  pieces of advice Nicole learned and has chosen to share with us: (1) Look for motivation anywhere you can find it. (2) Never beat yourself up. (3) Stick to the plan. (4) Hold yourself accountable. (5) Situations happen. Once she had accomplished her goal, Nicole wrote: “Life was great. I felt wonderful. Then life hit and it hit hard….But I could. And I would.” And she did!! And you can, too!! We love our new life-style. Come join us!!
