Abs Diet

For many years most athletes, fitness models, and bodybuilders have applied the same basic fundamentals to their diet. Principles like eating often (5-6 times per day), building muscle, eating lean proteins, and aiming to eat whole unrefined carbs.
Sadly many dieters have failed to take note of these techniques, often believing that calorie restriction is the only way to lose weight.

Hidden under the glossy marketing-speak in the Abs Diet, you will find sensible and workable ideas for fat loss. Having visible abdominal muscles is about attaining very low levels of fat - rather than any magic diet, special exercise, or special piece of equipment.

The Abs diet contains a 7 day meal plan, made up of 12 'power foods', along with recipes. One meal per week is designated as a 'cheat' meal - where you eat anything you want. The book advises avoiding foods like fatty meats, processed/refined carbs, and high-sugar foods.

The Power 12 Foods

1) Almonds and Other Nuts eaten with skins intact
2) Beans and Other Legumes
3) Spinach and Other Green Vegetables
4) Dairy: Fat-free or low-fat milk, yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese
5) Instant Oatmeal: Unsweetened, unflavored
6) Eggs
7) Turkey and other lean meats. Lean steak, chicken, fish
8) Peanut Butter - All-natural, sugar-free.
9) Olive Oil
10) Whole-Grain Breads and Cereals
11) Extra-Protein (Whey) Powder
12) Raspberries and Other Berries

Cardio and Weights

Essential to the diet program is strength and interval training. This is based on the premise that building muscle increases metabolism which will assist in burning fat.

Conclusion
The Abs Diet pretends to be something new. However it is simply a basic guide to strength training, good nutrition, and exercise. It does provide good sensible nutritional advice, but I feel there are better choices out there.
