ABS Diet For Men. ABS Diet For Women

ABS Diet For Men. ABS Diet For Women

Envy is a powerful emotion. When we browse through magazines at our local bookstore, the fitness covers with rock-hard washboard stomachs make us jealous, and if we're lucky, motivates us to get fit.

One of the best known culprits is Men's Health Magazine and it's army of cover models with perfect midsections.

If you want to get beyond the jealousy, the magazine’s editor-in-chief David Zinczenko has vowed to help you turn the page and help put you side by side with those cover models.



FOOD & RECIPE

Your meals should always include no less than two of the following foods:

- Lean meats like turkey
- Almonds and other nuts
- Green vegetables including spinach
- Low- or no-fat dairy like yogurt and milk
- Beans and legumes

- Eggs
- Peanut butter
- Whole-grain breads, cereal and oatmeal
- Raspberries and other berries
- Olive oil
- Protein powder

EXERCISE

A program called the Abs Diet better have a pretty intensive exercise program. You'll increase your physical exercise, by weight-training the main muscle groups like the back, chest and legs, in addition to 30-45 minutes of light cardio.

EXPENSE

The Abs Diet book can be purchased for 4 payments of $7.99, and it comes with a 21-day risk-free trial offer. The online component has a 10-day free trial, but the site doesn’t say how much the program costs if you stick with it.

PRO

It gives you a fairly complete package of fitness and eating strategies. The Abs Diet has you eating six times daily. You will eat three meals each day with a small snack two hours prior to each. So there’s no starving involved. The website has interactive software and graphic illustrations of recommended exercises.

CON

Effective marketing and truthful assertions often come to a head with companies selling health products. The Abs Diet makes a few claims that aren’t malicious, but let’s just say stray a little from the truth.

For example, the site says "turn fat into muscle." You can give them some slack by saying that they only intended it figuratively. But in actuality, fat doesn’t magically turn into fat. They are two separate things.

Also, they say that it's "guaranteed to give you a flat stomach and great physique in just 6 weeks." It's a nice marketing slogan, but just a little simplistic. Someone who is, say 15 pounds overweight, will have an easier time getting there than someone who is 100 pounds overweight. And the latter person will not have a trim waist in 6 weeks.

And finally, it says "Lose 20 pounds or more - from your belly first!" Unfortunately, there’s no such thing as spot reduction, so you can pick and choose where the weight comes off.

CONCLUSION

The Abs Diet promises that by adhering to the Abs Diet program, you'll transform not only your abs, but your life, in six short weeks. With motivation, healthier eating and physical activity you'll be on your way to a healthier you.

The Abs Diet will help prevent illnesses including diabetes, obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure and osteoporosis by encouraging a diet rich in fiber, calcium and monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.
