Understand Them and You Will Lose Your Belly Fat and Get Six Pack Abs!
You need to focus on two things ONLY:
- Eat the right food
- Do the right exercise
That’s all you need to do to get healthy and get six pack abs.
To lose body fat and get healthy is ONLY about two things. You need to lose fat and replace that fat with lean muscle. To achieve this you need to change the way you eat, get to know the super foods like Chia seeds, and you need to change the way you exercise, for example use super sets instead of normal sets. If you already eat healthy and follow a well developed workout program then you should be well on your way to your dream body.
Remember, it takes time, months of eating right and doing the right exercises to see big differences. There are no shortcuts! Shortcuts are usually extremely unhealthy for you body. Hyped up diets, all kinds of gadgets are just two of the things we all continue to fall for.
Here are some of the topics we will cover:
- Watch out for so called “Health Foods”
- The BIG SECRET of crunches and situps
- Avoid pills and bogus drugs at all cost
- Cardio will not give you abs
- Ab gadgest are overrated
- What does work…
- My getting healthy, lean and strong story…
1. Many foods that most of us would consider “health foods” are actually only posing as health food.
Many of the processed foods on the supermarket shelves pose as health foods. The simple fact is that you should watch what you put in your body. The more organic and natural you eat, the healthier your body and mind will be.
Here is a short list of just some of the types of food to watch out for:
- Products claiming “Better than Peanut Butter” (Stick with natural organic products)
- Products claiming to be “Better than Eggs” (These are just egg whites with chemical colouring)
- Products claiming to be “Better than Butter” (Most Margarine is loaded with deadly trans fats)
- Stick with natural organic food, the kind that can be traced to its organic roots. (Read the packaging)
Here is a quick list of super foods to make part of your diet every day:
- Raw green vegetables
- Lean protein like Salmon, Trout, grass fed beef, free range chicken
- Different nuts and seeds like Almonds, Chia Seed etc…
- Enough clean water every day, 6 glasses on average
- Six smaller meals every day instead of three big meals
Here is another list of super fat burning foods to consider…
2. Crunches and abs gadgets are one of the least effective ways to get six pack abs.
No amount of abs exercises are going to give you that ripped or toned look you want if you have a layer of fat covering your abs. You MUST focus on fatloss first. Remember that most of us already have a very attractive six pack of abs, its just hiding under a layer of fat. The first step is to lose that layer of fat. The only way to do this is to adjust your diet. Eat superfoods every day and follow the guidelines I mention above. At the bottom of this page is a bunch of free ebooks you can download that cover most of this.
Remember it is much more important and valuable to have STRONG abs and a strong core instead on focusing on getting six pack abs.
3. Long, boring cardio sessions will not give you Six Pack Abs
Forget about long cardio sessions, they just do NOT work. The most annoying part of cardio is the monotony of these workouts, they do not help with motivation. But probably the biggest lie about cardio is that they help you lose fat quickly, they just don’t. They help you get fit faster. If your goal is to lose fat then you should be focusing on your weight workout.
Remember what happens when you do weight training or strength training. You are damaging the muscle fibers, a good thing, this means your muscles needs to heal themselves. That’s why you are so sore after a good workout and why your muscles start shaping, toning and growing. This reparation phase needs energy and your body keeps on using energy and burning fat to accomplish this. This can go on for two to three days.
You see how a well developed, goal orientated weight program will do so much more for your fat loss goals that cardio?
4. Do not waste your money on pills and bogus drugs.
Use supplements if you must, if it’s part of a professional workout program with VERY specific goals and nutrients involved. As a rule though, eat healthy food and get a workout plan that fit with your fitness and fat-loss goals.
Supplements can sometimes be a good thing if you do not eat a lot of protein, you are a vegetarian for example, then something like 100% pure Whey protein is a good supplement to use. Also use 100% pure Whey if your fitness goals include building serious muscle mass.
Rather eat lean protein, like eggs, grass fed beef, free range chicken and salmon.
6. Ab gadgets are overrated!
Have you heard of these gadgets?
- Ab belts
- Ab-rocker
- Ab-loungers
None of these gimmicks will ever give you six pack abs and are dangerous to your exercise mindset. They promise you the world, but after using them for a week or two and seeing no change, we just lose hope of ever getting a six pack. If you already have six pack abs, they might help you define your abs, but that’s as far as their use goes. The people selling these machines did not get those abs using the gadgets. They got those abs by using professional guidance and living a healthy lifestyle. If you want a gadget that really works your core muscles, rather get yourself the Abs Exercises Ball.

My Six Pack Abs Story
Even if you are not a naturally lean person you can have a flat defined stomach.
Your story is probably very similar to mine. I was a bit overweight, and six pack abs remained an elusive dream for me. I wanted six pack abs, I made the choice, and started my research. What I discovered was very different from what I expected. For example, the usual sit-up moves and crunches did not give me six pack abs.
When I eventually did get that toned flat-stomach look, it was not hundreds off sit ups that did the trick. They did make a difference once my ab muscles started showing.
Many blame their midsection on genetics. That’s just not true for 95% of us. You can lose that belly fat, do not lie yourself out of a strong core and a healthy lifestyle, you deserve better! Get a plan together, set your goals, run your ideas by a professional and get going!
One truth no one knows that will blow your mind, the best abs exercise in the world is NO AB EXERCISES. The simple truth here is that I lost most of my body fat by eating the right food and doing weight training.
There is a time and place for abs exercises of course. Once you lose that stubborn layer of body fat, then you start focusing on abs exercises.
But if you train your abs directly you build the abs under the fat, that first layer body fat hiding your six pack needs to go first! Doing too much abs exercises and not seeing results, can have a very negative effect on your training mindset. If you over train, you will end up not wanting to go to the gym at all. Start slow, mix things up and work on your diet first.
4 Powerful Key Concepts:
- You are surrounded by so called health foods all day, these foods, for example soy milk, can actually add to you fat levels.
- Do not fall for the gadgets and the infomercials they do not burn stomach fat, they merely work your abs under the layer of fat hiding your abs.
- What you must have is a balance between real workouts, real nutrition and a real mindset.
- You do not need hours of boring cardio to get the look you want.
Rather focus on unique workouts that keep you motivated and help you lose body fat at the same time.

In Conclusion
Keep things simple. Do not try and make massive changes day one. Rather take your time and develop a plan of action. Go and get yourself a few fitness magazines to help with ideas, recipes and exercises. It is always a good idea to run your plan by a professional before you start.
