Review: The Abs Diet 6-Minute Meals For 6-Pack Abs

Most conventional diets emphasize the importance of avoiding certain foods. Don't eat carbohydrates. Don't eat large portions. Don't eat fast food. Don't eat fat. Don't eat desserts. Don't eat fried foods. Yet, it should also be emphasized that the addition of "power foods" can help us achieve our goals even faster. Power foods are full of nutrients, anti-oxidants and minerals that encourage healthier bodies and prompt weight loss. This concept is behind The Abs Diet 6-Minute Meals for 6-Pack Abs, a NY Times bestseller that emphasizes a new way of looking at eating, rather than any quick-fix fads.

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.

Another one of the core principles in The Abs Diet 6-Minute Meals for 6-Pack Abs is that you should not deprive yourself of specific foods. Instead, you should indulge in specific foods. It's true that there are some foods that are so toxic they should be avoided at all costs, but it's more important to keep moderation in mind and load up on the diet's 12 essential power foods. Almonds (nuts), beans (legumes), spinach (leafy greens), dairy, instant oatmeal, eggs, turkey (lean meats), peanut butter, olive oil, whole grains (bread/cereal), extra-protein powder (whey) and raspberries (berries) are some of the abs diet foods to stock up on. Each meal should contain at least two foods from the power list. The best meals use all power foods!

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.

Six Pack Abs Exercises You Can Do At Home
The torso twist is a popular way to tighten up the midsection and it's one of the best six pack abs exercises that you can do. Stand up straight, suck in your stomach and rotate your upper body from left to right while keeping your legs straight. As you turn, you will engage both the internal and external oblique muscles, which are very important core muscles, and the contraction produced in this exercise will hit them from a different plane of motion than side bends.
