You eat all the right foods to stay healthy, including an apple a day! But you can\u2019t seem to lose weight, especially in your midsection. Add to that \u201cmuffin top\u201d <\/a><\/strong>bloating, cramping, and irregularity and you feel like you\u2019re at the mercy of your out-of-whack digestive tract.<\/p>\n

The surprising cause for your suffering: the healthful foods you keep eating that may very well be bullying<\/em> your belly.<\/p>\n

You are not alone. Liz Vaccariello, editor-in-chief of Reader\u2019s Digest’s <\/em>and author of the New York Times<\/em> best-selling book The Digest Die<\/strong>t<\/a>, noticed her tummy troubles and weight gain around her midsection revolved around her seemingly healthy diet.<\/p>\n

Vaccariello and registered dietitian Kate Scarlata developed the 21 Day Tummy Diet<\/a><\/strong>, designed to soothe and shrink your tummy by eating \u201cBelly Buddies\u201d and getting rid of \u201cBelly Bullies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Belly Buddies<\/strong> \u2013 foods that help digestive health \u2013 are light on carbohydrates and contain stomach-soothing ingredients like fiber, magnesium and anti-inflammatory fats. Belly Buddies are also low in FODMAPs, rapidly fermentable carbs.<\/p>\n

FODMAP foods are fermentable with oligosaccharides, disaccharides (lactose), monosaccharides (fructose) and polyols (sugar alcohols), and are, in general, hard on the tummy.<\/p>\n

Belly Bullies<\/strong>, on the other hand, are carbohydrate-dense foods and contain pro-inflammatory fats found in processed food. Foods high in lactose, fructose and FODMAPs are also considered harmful to digestive health.<\/p>\n

Additional Belly Buddies include: Greek yogurt instead of plain yogurt, coconut milk ginger (which strengthens the digestive tract muscles), turmeric (famed for anti-inflammatory benefits), and maple syrup.<\/p>\n

The 21-Day Tummy Diet<\/a> <\/strong>helps you identify which foods trigger your bloating, cramps, and constipation, and then shows you how to replace them with foods that can treat and even cure your digestives issues.<\/p>\n
