I'm sure some of you are thinking that I'll mention this new wonder drug that can give you ripped abs just by taking 2 pills three times a day for 7 days! I wish it was that simple...no, not really. Nothing in this world comes easy, you get where I'm going with this? So if your waiting for the day when exercise will come in the size of an easy to swallow, strawberry flavored capsule...it's going to be one really, really long wait!
If you're expecting to get ripped abs while you're still drinking a beer after every workout, well this article is just not for you. What you need is first of all to join AAA and put down that beer. For good. Then you can continue reading this article and actually wait in anticipation to get a few tips here and there.
Abs. every woman imagines, at least once in there lives, that a man without a shirt, with his glistering six-pack shimmering because of the effect of the setting sun's light as they hit his body. He then runs in front of them, turns, smiles and waves. That man can be you, but only if you eat right.
The secret to having visible muscles is to make them press through your skin and not through your fat. Actually it is advised that if you want to pack more muscles, burn down your fat. Go on a low fat diet. Seriously. It's time to kiss those deep fried potato chips goodbye.
Abs like any other muscle in the body, aren't formed purely by simply lifting weights and doing complicated crunches. They require proteins to form the muscle tissue, carbohydrates to provide energy to facilitate this process and fats to provide additional energy. I'm not contradicting myself when I tell you to go on a low fat diet. Yes the body needs fats. But it needs it in very precise amounts. Anything extra is stored under you skin and in effect doesn't help you get those ripped abs. it should therefore be taken in highly regulated quantities. The advantage of protein as a requirement is that it comes in very many forms that are easily available and affordable everywhere. If you live in a place where beef is rare, then you can feast on the good old chicken breast. If you're living on an island, then grilled fish should be among your favorite protein delicacies. Nothing starts your day off better than an egg omlette and some sweet potatoes. Then flush it down with a glass of farm fresh milk. Sweet potatoes are a good source of carbohydrates together with starchy foods like whole bread and cereal. Water is an essential bit of the equation. It not only flushes wastes out of your body but it also regulates your body temperature and also does wonders for your skin.
Your abs is formed by your workouts as well as your diet. Eat the right stuff in the quantity required and of cause hit the gym.
