Flat Belly Secret #61 Comment

Topics: Abs Nutrition

All right this the the 6th and final of our 6 pack of Flat Belly Secrets.  Follow all 6 of these secrets and you’ll be on your way to a flat belly and maybe even six pack abs.  This is our final secret, but it may very well be the most important one in getting a flat belly.

Ok…it’s time….drum roll please…

Flat Belly Secret #6

Count ingredients, not calories. Eat single ingredient foods and foods with as few ingredients as possible.

No matter how much you work out, it won’t help much if your diet is out of whack.  You should be eating whole, natural foods as often as possible and get rid of the sugars, processed and boxed foods as well as foods high in trans fat. Even foods that you might think are healthy, such as cereals and reduced fat crackers, are just as disguised as health foods.  Check out the ingredient list of those items.  It’s a paragraph long and contains lots of junk.

Examples of foods that you should be eating include: eggs, spinach, apples, oatmeal, chicken, turkey breast, sweet potatoes, salmon, almonds, strawberries, blueberries, and walnuts.  My favorite nutrition program that follows this principle is The Diet Solution Program.

So to sum up our Flat Belly Secrets focus on these core principles:

1)    Use functional movement patterns similar to daily life with compound exercises, not isolation exercises
2)    Train the abs for stability not flexion
3)    Include a blend of challenging bodyweight training and interval cardio for maximal fat loss
4)    Count ingredients, not calories
