Six pack abs diet
Diet is crucially important if you want some day to look on your belly and see and show off your incredible shape with six pack abs clearly visible, preferably on some Costa Rican beach while surfing. And all those people enviably staring at it! Wouldn’t that be fantastic?! In short, for that to happen, you need to incorporate six pack abs way of eating.
You need to look very closely at your diet. The stuff you eat every day. For six pack abs to come out, you need to show some discipline. Yes, admirable fit abs on hot Costa Rican beach don’t come free. Othervise everybody would have them there. Instead of that, you see big bellied guys walking on that beach. But occasionally once in the while six pack abs go around. And the person who caries it, figured out a way to stay disciplined and closely watches what he puts into his mouth. It can be learned by anybody.
The great thing about six pack abs diet is, that it’s achievable. And it is achievable even if you are a very busy person. I will get into the details little later. Healthy, six pack abs supportive diet doesn’t have to be time consuming. And it also doesn’t have to be disgusting. Between you and great, fast, healthy, nutritious diet lie only few simple steps to follow. And I am going to share these steps with you now.
Eliminate sugar in your diet
This one is huge. This step is without any questions the most important step in this six pack abs series. Sugar is a true six pack abs killer. It is even bigger killer than sedentary lifestyle. Sugar is the number one reason we don’t have more people on this planet with six pack ripped abs. Sugar is your worst enemy! Period!
I hate sugar. I used to love it. I was truly addicted to it, but not anymore. I can’t stand it anymore. I can feel when I eat something sweet, that that sugar washing my arteries is not only killing my six pack, it’s killing my health too. Sugar, I repeat that again to you, is your worst enemy. Don’t forget that. If I were you, I would write it on a big paper with big letters and stick it on your bathroom door. One from inside and one from outside.
So how do you go about eliminating sugar from your diet? If you are right now at the stage, that you can’t imagine your life without cookies, chocolate, juices and maybe occasional soda pop, don’t despair. I have been there. You will most likely not be able to eliminate it fast. There are some, I call them ambitious driven animals, that will be able to quit sugar cold turkey. They are rare, but they are out there. If you are one of them, congratulations! But, if you are not, don’t despair. There is a way to do it. Slowly over time start eliminating:
Sugar elimination steps
Start with drinks: eliminate, sweetened soda, fruit juices, stop putting sugar Into your coffee and don’t buy any sweet milkshakes or frapuchinos. Start drinking only water, unsweetened freshly brewed teas, unsweetened coffee. Plain water with 1/2 squeezed fresh lemon in it or lime is the option I like the best. Give it a shot. You and your six pack abs will love it!
Than follow with replacing deserts for fresh fruits.
After that eliminate all candy, chocolates, cookies and other sweet crap.
The last step will be to eliminate or replace stuff like ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, BBQ sauce for sugar free versions, or not eating them at all. Yes all these seemingly harmless stuff contain a lot of sugar.
This is a process and it is not an easy process. Don’t be too hard on yourself. But, let me tell you how incredibly rewarding this one single step of eliminating sugar in your diet will be. Not only you’ll make a huge, huge step toward your own six pack abs, you will feel incredible surge in energy, calmness and performance.
Your skin will get clear. No more pimples (yes, they are a product of sugary diet). Your heart will be very happy and other organs too. They suffer by being washed by sugary blood that causes chronic inflammation, caused by too much of insulin. You will become incredibly healthy and chances that you’ll live to 100 will become very high. I know, that you don’t really care about that, it just slipped out of my mouth. Of course six pack abs is what we all care about. It’s for you to take it. Just remember, sugar is your worst enemy!
Minimize flour in your diet
Flour is another enemy for six pack abs shining on the beach. You don’t have to completely eliminate it. Occasional delicious Italian pasta dish or pizza is fine. But make it a rear occasion.
Flour is a processed food. It’s an empty carbohydrate. Yes, even the whole grain flour is. I am not a big fan of neither of them. Your body brakes flour into a glycogen and when it is not used by muscles, it’s stored as fat on your waistline.
If you are already skinny, but your six pack abs are still not visible, than you really have to try to eliminate as much flour as you can from your diet. The insulin release that flour promotes diminishes your chances of getting rid of that extra fat around your waist. For that fat to burn away, you need to deprive your body of carbohydrates. Remember this: you can’t exercise yourself out of a poor diet. I don’t care how much you move, if you eat crappy diet, you will never have six pack abs.
Flour is the empty carbohydrate source. Eliminate it from your diet now! Things that contain flour:
All kinds of breads, bagels, sandwich rolls, even those claiming being the whole grain. Whole grain is bad too!
Pasta, macaroni, ravioli, organic whole grain included.
Baked goods, croissants, pastry, pizzas, hot pockets and all the packaged stuff, muffins, Danishes and other baked crap.
Caned soups, and luncheons and other packaged garbage foods. All going to garbage today!
Stay away from eating these otherwise very addictive food flour choices. Its not going to be easy, but I know you can do it. I was a bread and butter guy before. (Nothing wrong with butter). I would eat bread with almost every meal. I used to binge on poppy seed muffins every morning and I could eat the whole pizza in one seating.
At the same time, I was frequently tired, I was gaining weight, I could tell the spare tyre is really growing around my waist. And then I decided to give it a try. The zone diet book from Berry Sears convinced me. And as soon as I cut all the bad carbohydrate choices I started feeling fantastic, energized, my memory and physical performance increased. I could see my extra fat disappear until I was really able to label my six pack abs as really ripped six pack abs. And I never turned back. And I want you to find this holly grail of eating and feeling fantastic and energized, with naturally lean body too. It’s life changing habit.
171 rule
What is 171 rule? It’s among other very important things my favorite six pack abs number. The connection to six pack abs and 171 is the amount of carbohydrate in grams you can consume daily. Yes, I want you to start counting your carbohydrate consumption. It is that important. But, I also have a trick you can use, so you don’t have to count your carbohydrate intake.
What is the trick?
The trick is, and I already mentioned that before, that you’ll eat only vegetables and fruits as your source of carbohydrates. If you really only stick to this rule, you’ll hardly go beyond 171 grams of carbs per day. And if you happen to overcome it, it will be fine with me and your six pack abs too. I really, really want you to eat more vegetables and fruits. Go crazy with those. Eat huge amounts of them. It’s ok for you six pack abs.
There still is such a think as vegetable or fruit that are less favorable and there is of course highly favorable stuff. So, here I am going to tell you not to eat very often:
Bananas, Potatoes, Carrots
These, mainly harmless kinds of fruit and vegetables are naturally higher in sugar. And if you want to speed up on your road to six pack abs you need to stay away from too much of these stuff. I simply don’t want you to eat 2 pounds of bananas or think that you can eat French fries in your fast food joint. Fries are potatoes after all. But they are very bad for six pack abs and health.
Now, let me recommend few that I want you to favor before the others. They are:
Best six pack abs carbohydrates you can go crazy eating
Green leafy vegetables – kale, turnip leaf, mustard greens, spinach, arugula, dandelion leaf and others
Cruciferous vegetables – kale, cabbage, Brussels sprouts
Fresh plums, peaches, apricots, apples, pears, berries, peaches,
Avocados, olives, artichokes.
These kinds of fruits and vegetables are naturally low in sugar and they are also very bulky, and of course delicious. Fresh is the way to go. And maybe you can steam it too. If you mainly stick to these, you can eat a huge amount of each of them and you’ll barely go beyond 150 grams of carbohydrates per day.
The 171 rule is one of the most powerful rules. And I want you to take it very seriously and follow it religiously. With maybe occasional piece of desert. Very occasional!
If you manage to hold this rule, your six pack abs will be there and visible, where they are supposed to be and where you really want them soon. I guarantee you that. But for that, you need to be really honest with yourself. How did you do with 171 today?
Processed porn foods
Another huge step toward your own six pack flat, beautifully chiseled abs is to eliminate processed foods. All processed foods! That means all baked goods, bagels, French breads, pizzas, packaged meals, processed meats like sausages, head cheeses, frankfurters, hot dogs, energy bars. Processed foods, even though some of them say, that they are good for your health are the big enemy for our six pack abs and our general health.
Stay away from everything that comes wrapped in package straight from some factory. It’s certainly full of transfats, all kinds of weird sweeteners, MSG, chemical flawor enhances, yak!
What’s wrong with power bar?
Isn’t power bar supposed to be good for me? It says, it will give me power. If you think like this and lots of people do, you need to change your thinking. One acquaintance of mine drinks certain tea, that say with big letters on it – FAT BURNING TEA. And she strongly believes that. But of course, there is no such a thing as fat burning tea. You don’t burn fat by drinking tea. How easy it would be to just drink a tea to burn fat! Fat people would drink it and loose weight at the same time. So if anything else is added to this fat burning tea, it is some kind of chemically extracted vitamin or extra caffeine or something else. That would qualify this tea as a dangerous processed food anyway.
Power bars on the other hand, even though claiming they will give you power contain huge amount of empty calories, sugars and carbohydrates, that will actually make you crush half way through your intensive workout. I had few occasions, when my client couldn’t finish the workout, just because she ate a piece of or whole energy bar of some sort. Power bars and I am confident to say all energy and granola bars will take your power away and not give it to you, like they are claiming. Don’t eat these processed foods. That’s what they really are.
Processed foods are six pack abs enemy. Instead, eat foods you can freely find in nature. Foods that are not packaged or wrapped. Fruits, vegetables, fresh meats, legumes, nuts, whole dairy. Even some canned foods are fine, like for example sardines, wild salmon, herring, mackerel, tuna or peanut butter and almond butter in a jar.
Restricting your diet to only fresh unprocessed foods will have a huge impact on your six pack abs, health and great life. Anyway, before you eat something, always ask yourself: Can you possibly find it in this form somewhere in the nature? If not, don’t touch it!
