Many people looking to lose weight around the middle try the Abs Diet. According to AbsDiet.com, the Abs Diet is a six-week eating and exercise plan that promises to "flatten your stomach and keep you lean for life." The diet essentially offers a sensible healthy living guide, which is the key to reducing fat in the abdominal area.
Six Meals a Day
The key to the Abs Diet is to eat the right foods every day. The diet's 12 superfoods are almonds, beans and legumes, green vegetables, dairy products, oatmeal, eggs, lean protein, peanut butter, olive oil, whole-grain breads and cereals, protein powder and berries. By eating the right foods each day you won't have to count calories, since you will be providing your body with exactly what it needs. WomensHealthMag.com says that you will more effectively burn the calories you consume by eating smaller amounts six times a day than by eating three larger meals.
Drink Smoothies
The Abs Diet advocates smoothies that you make yourself so that you're not drinking a milkshake in disguise. Along with being satisfying and filling, smoothies are quick to prepare for breakfast or as a before- or after-workout snack. Stick to ingredients from the Abs Diet superfoods list, like berries, yogurt, peanut butter and protein powder.
Drink Water
Skip the alcohol, and focus on water. WomensHealthMag.com says that according to the Abs Diet, you burn 36 percent less fat when there is alcohol in your body. Additionally, your inhibitions are lowered when drinking, making it difficult to stick to the diet plan and easier to consume high-calorie, fried foods like potato chips or french fries. Water keeps you hydrated, satiated and keeps the metabolism burning. Other Abs Diet friendly liquids are low-fat milk and green tea.
Cheat Meal
Cheating is OK on the Abs Diet, if you keep it to one meal per week. But WomensHealthMag.com says the Abs Diet allows you to make that one meal anything you want--including pizza, candy and high-fat creamy sauces. Keep the cheat meal in check by being aware of what and how much you are eating.
