A MUST read: The ABS Diet for Women

Not a, “Diet” book. Most diets are about eating less food or about restricting to certain kinds of food…Not this book! It will shift the way you think about your body and about weight loss. This program helps you effortlessly strip away fat from your body and change your body shape forever. What you’ll gain from the book – abs, muscle tone, energy, better health and much more!

What is the most dangerous fat on your body?? Many people are surprised to learn that it is belly fat which is classified as visceral fat; that means it is located behind your abdominal wall and surrounds your internal organs. Because it carries an express-lane pass to your heart and other important organs, visceral fat is the fat that can kill you! The amount of visceral fat people carry is the single best predictor of heart disease risk – yikes!!!

This book rrreally emphasizes the importance of gaining muscle and loosing fat. Like I’ve blogged about before, building just a few pounds of muscle in your body is the physiological equivalent of kicking fat out on its butt and telling it to never come back again. Muscle-in the form of lean muscle mass, NOT BULKY, speeds up the fat-busting process: One pound of muscle requires your body to burn up to 50 EXTRA calories a day just to maintain that muscle. Again, let’s just say you add a few pounds of toned muscle it will take your body up to several HUNDRED extra calories a day JUST to feed that muscle. Sounds GOOD to me.

Working out is a key component but the other component is what you’re eating. The ABS diet suggests 6 meals a day, spaced relatively evenly throughout the day. Eat 2 snacks 2 hours before larger meals. While many diets center around controlling portion size, the Abs Diet is designed to be self-controlling. The high-fiber, high-protein foods will fill you up and keep you feeling full for hours. Your body will tell you when it’s time to eat-and when it’s time to stop. The ABS Diet power 12 foods are what you should base most of your meals on the following 12 groups of foods. Every meal should have at least two foods from the list.

Almonds and other nuts

Beans and legumes

Spinach and other green vegetables

Dairy (fat-free or low-fat milk, yogurt, cheese)

Instant oatmeal (unsweetened, unflavored)

Eggs

Turkey and other lean meats

Peanut Butter

Olive oil

Whole-grain breads and cereals

Extra-protein (whey) powder

Raspberries and other berries

*Each of the power 12 have been chosen in part for its healthy secret weapons-the nutrients that will help power up your natural fat burners, protect you from illness and injury, and keep you lean and fit for life!
