The Flat BellyDiet is great at helping people get over the worry that all fats are bad for them. These smoothies are a quick and easy way to get more healthy, monounsaturated fatty acids in your diet through the ingredients like the flaxseed oil, peanut butter and dark chocolate. The good news is that these fats not only can help you lose weight – especially from the belly, where weight loss can be particularly difficult – but they can also improve your cardiac healthy by helping to lower “bad” LDL cholesterol levels while at the same time raising your “good” HDL levels, thus improving your overall cholesterol ratio. They are also incredibly convenient to make and to have for breakfast or take with you to work, so you can be healthy even when you are on the go and don’t have time to spend hours in the kitchen.
