What are MUFAs?


MUFA stands for monounsaturated fatty acids. Prevention Magazine's Flat Belly Diet suggests eating MUFAs with every meal. Prevention Magazine also states that research has shown that adding controlled portions of MUFAs, healthy fats, can help you feel full longer. See March 2009 issue of Prevention Magazine for more information

Some healthy fats that are listed in The Flat Belly Diet book are nuts, seeds, dark chocolate, avocados, and green and black olives.

I have not jumped fully into The Flat Belly Diet, but I am incorporating some of the MUFAs into every meal. I do have to admit that I feel fuller with each meal. I am not eating as many in- between "snacks".

Because I have this allergy/sensitivity to wheat I can not eat some of the foods listed on The Flat Belly Diet. Once I figure out a good substitute for the wheat products I will be ready to jump right in.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. -Mohandas K. Gandhi

Wednesday weigh-in

Weighed in @ 167.5 today.

I need a jump start for my exercising.

Starting tomorrow 30 minutes of uphill walking on treadmill and 30 minutes walk away the pounds.

My DH has decided to join me losing weight. His goal is to lose 14 pounds by May 30, 2009. My goal is to lose 30 pounds by May 27, 2009. That is a 2 pound loss per week for me. DH is losing approximately 1 pound a week. Can we do it...

I have not started the Flat Belly Diet yet but will try to start by February 20, 2009.

I have no idea what DH will be doing... this should be interesting.

I have been staying away from wheat. I noticed my fingernails are not splitting anymore... my hair is still gray.

I am hoping with time my hair color comes back...I may have to enlist the help of Miss Clairol.

I do not feel sick and achy anymore... but my butt is still not motivated to exercise.

Whenever I feel like exercise, I lie down until the feeling passes. ~Robert M. Hutchins
