It can be very difficult to identify and eliminate bad behaviors that are contributing to our stomach pudginess. One of the big problems is that human beings crave things. Maybe it’s that ice cold mug of beer at a party or that frosty dish of ice cream at a birthday celebration that calls to us. Most diets unrealistically tell people to resist the urge — at least until the dieting period is over. As can be expected, many people fail at these diets or go back to their old ways once the diet is through. By contrast, The Abs Diet 6-Minute Meals for 6-Pack Abs book paints a more realistic plan full of practical lifestyle changes that we can stick to — and lose that belly fat once and for all!
Growing up, we were taught to eat three times a day — at breakfast, lunch and dinner. However, The Abs Diet 6-Minute Meals for 6-Pack Abs book says you should eat six times a day — breakfast at 8, a snack at 11, lunch at 1, a snack at 4, dinner at 6 and a snack at 9. You should never be hungry, the book’s author says. Instead, you should eat every few hours to keep your stomach satisfied and your metabolism rolling. You’ll be eating a lot of “power foods” full of nutrients, protein, healthy fats and fiber in your new diet, which will cut back on overeating.
Old diets tell you to swear off all desserts, but The Abs Diet 6-Minute Meals for 6-Pack Abs encourages you to have dessert every day! Since we naturally crave sweets, it’s best to fulfill these cravings if you can do so without blowing hundreds of calories in one sitting. At www.menshealth.com/absdiet, you can find a recipe for a delicious fruit smoothie that uses many “power foods” like raspberries, oatmeal, peanut butter, whey powder and milk. Using smoothies as snacks or replacement meals can be a satisfying way to keep on track.
You won’t find fancy, gourmet recipes in The Abs Diet 6-Minute Meals for 6-Pack Abs, reviewers note. However, the goal of this book is to give you creative ways to whip together “power food” ingredients in six minutes or less. Since many of us live hurried lives, we could definitely use some advice on grocery shopping, snacking and making positive food choices when the cravings strike. There is a chapter with 60-minute Sunday meals and 15-minute creations for when you have more time. By eating these power foods, the idea is that you’ll encourage less fat storage and more lean muscle creation. As with any diet, this one works best when combined with 3-5 days of cardio and strength training exercises each week.
