Uma dieta direcionada para a gordura abdominal é a salvação para todos que sonham com a barriga ideal. A dieta da barriga zero se baseia em um ingrediente simples, facilmente encontrado, eficaz e de nome complicado: ácido graxo monoinsaturado, ou AGMI, para facilitar. Óleos, azeitonas, frutas secas, sementes e chocolate amargo têm AGMIs em sua composição. Eles fazem parte de um grupo alimentar especial que os nutricionistas classificam como “gordura boa” e, além de ajudarem no controle do colesterol, não têm facilidade de absorção pelo organismo, ou seja, não acumulam. É este o segredo que Cynthia Sass e Liz Vaccariello compartilham com os leitores da Prevention, a revista sobre saúde e qualidade de vida mais popular dos Estados Unidos, e que agora estão reunidos neste livro para o Brasil.
