The successful way to trim down your waistline is through eating the right types of food, according to The Abs Diet website. Created by, David Zinczenko, the editor-in-chief of Men's Health magazine, the Abs Diet lays out a six-week diet program and exercise plan that promises to help you lose stubborn fat from your stomach area as well as throughout your entire body.
Eliminate Poor Eating Habits
The Abs Diet was designed for both men and women and claims that you can lose up to "12 pounds of belly fat within two weeks," according to Diet Spotlight. The creators of the Abs Diet believe that people's poor eating habits are responsible for their weight gain and they claim to rid you of these habits within six weeks. The foods that are destructive to your physique and metabolism, according to the Abs Diet and reported by Women's Health magazine are added sugars, white flour, simple starches and saturated and trans fats. Diet Spotlight reports that saturated fat in particular is believed to be harmful to the belly area.
Develop Healthy Eating Habits
Along with learning what foods expand your waistline, you will be educated on the foods that will keep you satiated, increase your metabolism, help you lose weight and provide you with energy. The Abs Diet advocates eating lean proteins, whole-grain carbohydrates, healthy fats, fruits and vegetables. Of particular note are the Abs Diet's 12 superfoods, which 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.
One Cheat Meal
The creators of the Abs Diet believe that restriction can lead to diet devastation, so they advocate having one cheat meal per week, according to Women's Health magazine. The cheat meal can consist of anything you want; just be sure to return to the Abs Diet eating plan at the very next meal.
