There are 3 factors to consider when implementing our 6 Pack Diet Plan in our quest for great abs. Diet, Exercise and Focus.

In future articles we will discuss the types of exercise to consider and of course the Focus and Lifestyle that is required to transform your body.

In this article we will consider the 6 Pack Diet Plan discussing the type and quantity of food you should be aiming to eat.

Firstly the word “diet” sounds like we are going introduce to discuss the latest Fad, low calorie, low carb, high fat the list goes on. What we want to show is an eating plan that can be followed easily and contains a large variety of foods.

In Truth About Abs by Mike Geary the subject of diet and nutrition is discussed extensively. But simply Fad diets starve your body of essential nutrients and vitamins. We all need to consume carbs, proteins and fats but we need to ensure that we are consuming the right type of these food types.

So all you need to do to carry out your six pack diet plan is consume the right foods in the right quantities at the right time..... Simple yes!

Of course it’s not quite that simple we need to introduce some structure to your eating plan. We also need to introduce a range of super foods that you can eat. See my article on super foods.

As a guide you need to be having 6 meals a day .Breakfast , Lunch and Dinner with healthy snacks such as fruit and nuts (a great source of healthy fats)   to maintain a good metabolism. Skipping meals only serves to encourage the body to store fat as it thinks it’s going into starvation mode. We need to keep the metabolism working with regular meals.

Here’s a bit of science half a kilo of fat is equal to 3500 calories therefore to lose 1lb of fat you will need to burn of 3500 calories don’t panic!

This isn’t as difficult as it seems when you consider that 2 biscuits (or cookies) equate to 250 calories and 20 mins moderate exercise is between 250-300 calories. Also is is worth noting that every 1 pound of extra muscle on the body will burn 100 calories a day .Multiply that by 365 and you can see how much this can add up to be.

As a guide for quantity of food initially decrease your portion sizes by 15% (1/6) and ensure that the carbohydrate and protein portions of the meal are no larger than fist size. Ensure that you drink plenty of water avoid sodas as they are full of sugar and artificial chemicals and keep the alcohol intake to a minimum.

It is advised that eating after 6 is unadvisable as your body doesn’t need as much fuel in the evenings when most people spend their time resting. I find this impractical as a former shift worker myself I never starved myself at night. Just ensure that whatever your schedule you each regularly and time your meals accordingly.
