The largest island is being constructed at the Fiery Cross Reef close to the Spratly Islands, an island chain whose territory is partially claimed by China, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Malaysia.
The Flat Belly Diet emphasizes eating foods that are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), which are purported to help you lose belly fat. Such foods include olive oil, nuts, seeds, soybeans and avocados.
You can lose weight with a high-fiber diet made up of the right kinds of fruits, vegetables, proteins, and whole grains. But you have to give up refined sugar and flour and make other tweaks to the way you eat. The plan emphasizes foods with a low glycemic index (GI), which help keep your blood sugar levels steady. Foods with a higher GI make your blood sugar rise more than those with a lower GI. The foods with the highest GI are carbohydrates, including white bread, white rice, white potatoes, white flour, and sugar. But don't jump to conclusions: Carbs aren't all bad. The book teaches you how to eat the ârightâ carbs, especially whole grains.
