After my first child was born, my belly pulled back in, but it took a couple of years.  After my second child was born it didn’t get back into shape before I conceived our third child – our second was 1.5.  I can assure you that 5 months after our third child has been born, my belly is far from flat.  My husband on the other hand has a very flat belly, perhaps because he enjoys olives?  Read on to see why I’m throwing this out there as a possibility.

I know that many of you can sympathize with me – few of us busy mamma’s have flat bellies do we?  To be honest, I’m not sure I should get all worked up about it until I’m done having wee ones, and who knows when that will be?  If you DO feel a nudging about a bulging belly, you may have noticed some buzz about a new diet, the Flat Belly Diet. This new book from Rodale features an eating plan heavy on the consumption of MUFAs (monounsaturated fatty acids) a special form of unsaturated fat found in dark chocolate, olives, almonds, avocados etc.  Flatten your belly by eating chocolate?  Yummers!  The olives though – shudder – I couldn’t get them down, no way, no how, one of the few foods I detest.

In any case, if this piques your interest, visit the link above.  For a limited amount of time bloggers are being recruited to test drive the diet and blog about it.  You’ll receive:

• A free copy of the Flat Belly Diet book
• A free 1-year membership to the Flat Belly Diet website
• Exclusive membership to our Success Story Club
• The chance to blog about Flat Belly Diet on our website

So, take a peek, there’s nothing to lose, well, maybe some belly fat.
