Did you know?
How you eat is the single most important aspect of getting abs.
I'm here to blow the roof off the infomercials and fitness industry's tired old line! Most gyms and industry insiders actually HATE me, because I expose the lies and just give you the Bare Minimum Truth!
Are you tired of watching all the late-night infomercials with the latest $120 ab
gadget to hit the market guaranteeing that you can have a body just like the fitness model in the commercial in a few short weeks?
Are you tired of being told by so called "trainers" at health clubs that in order to
look like your fitness icons, you have to grind out more than 100 abdominal crunches
per day? OUCH!
Well... I am! And I'm here to blow the roof off the infomercials and fitness
industry's tired old line! Most gyms and industry insiders actually hate me, because I expose the lies and just give you the Bare Minimum Truth!
But I just can't take the BS any more so I've decided to reveal the truth about
slimming down and firming up! The trainers take the poor, unsuspecting, hard-working
people's money and nothing ever happens. All the gadgets being bought... then thrown
in the garbage a few short weeks later - It's enough to make you sick!
How To Get A Six-Pack!
Before you can start learning how to get six-pack abs and what it really takes to build a great ab section, you must first expose the lies.
Well, I'm here to tell you - actually I'm here SCREAMIN' from the rooftop -
There is no abdominal exercixe whatsoever to get the ugly rolls of fat off
of your mid-section.
OK... I'm finally going to let you in on the biggest insider secret to getting
anatomy-chart-lean.
You don't need to do any special abdominal exercixe at all to flatten your portbelly and get rid of your gut. Believe it or not, I (or my clients) don't do any "conventional" abdominal training
at all! You read that right, I just show people how to correctly perform crunches and
leg raises and to just do one set, just to shut them up because it's hard to convince them
at the start that they don't need to do any ab work, most people just don't believe me.
But after 3 months of training with me they end up discarding all of those crunches
and leg-raises where they belong... In the trash along with all of the useless gadgets.

99 Percent of those informercials look like Scams. But have anybody tried this thing or have any opinions on it. Obviously it wont automatically give you Abs. Diet and Cardio are what people always forget about when they want Abs. But anyways it looks like it would be a good full range Ab motion. Whats your opinion on it? - Gmoney23.

And if you think doing hours upon hours of walking or running on the treadmill,
or how about that new "tread-climber", or the Gazelle will help you flatten your stomach
you're wrong again. All that walking and running will drive you to
an early grave. Well... maybe not an early grave but definitely will not get you a ripped,
flat belly as lightning fast as the technique that what I'm going to tell you about will.
Lets face it... and here's the million-dollar question... If getting a ripped, washboard tummy was as simple as doing a few crunches and sit-ups every day, why does 99% of all those $120 ab-whichamacallits end up in the garage hanging on the wall after a month or two?

The Abdominal Secret
Here's the secret that the big bux ab-thinga-magiggy companies do not want you to know. It's all in what and how you eat. If you don't eat correctly, no amount
of exercise or aerobics will help you flatten your mid-section or reduce the size
of your waistline!
Don't believe me? Fine. Go out and do one thousand sit-ups, or crunches, or leglifts,
or some other torturous abdominal exercise. You can do all the exercise and
aerobics till your blue in the face. The sad fact is if you're still eating tons of
cr@p... you'll... well... still look like cr@p.
Boy, people think if they do a little exercise that it gives them "Carte Blanche" to
eat anything they want. They are under the false pretense that those "calories burned,"
read-outs on cardio machines actually mean something!

More often than not, a person who just spent a whole hour sweating on the
treadmill and then eats a low or no-fat muffin is worse off than when they started!
Bottom Line: The key to a flat tummy is to first and foremost, learn how to use proper nutrition.
Proper Nutrition
This is where 99% of us screw up. The worst part is that there is so much
misinformation and hype out there, that nobody really knows what proper nutrition or
"eating right" really is.
Most people think that to lose excess body fat, they must stop eating altogether.
This is where they are totally wrong. Starvation triggers a metabolic response where your metabolism will actually slow down and
become more efficient in order to preserve body tissue in the case of a shortage of future
nutrition.
The Abs Diet!
One popular diet that is currently circulating around North America, touted by the well-read magazine, Men's Health, is the Ab's Diet. Learn more about it right here!
This is precisely what we don't want. Another way people think they're "eating
right" is having fruit & coffee for breakfast, a salad for lunch, and a bowl of pasta for
dinner. - Nope, that's not the answer either. Some people don't eat anything the whole
day and "save themselves" for a big huge dinner! That's not the answer either.
To find the answer, you have to think back to caveman days. Back then, there
were no supermarkets or convenience stores to easily get whatever you want and
whenever you want it.
The caveman didn't know when his next meal was coming. He only ate when he
made the big kill and would literally gorge and overstuff himself until he couldn't move!
Why? Because he knew that he might not eat again for days or even worse... weeks.
What this did was make our bodies very bad at processing our food. Since our
bodies didn't know when we were going to eat next, they were forced to revert into
something known as "survival mode".

Whenever you eat, your digestive system converts most of your food (especially
large amounts of carbohydrates) to glucose (blood sugar). It's a very complicated
process but I'll do my best to sum it up in a nutshell.
Anytime we eat while were in "survival mode," because of the molasses-pace the
metabolism is at, the body converts most of the glucose - in conjunction with the
hormone insulin - to fat. This is why people who constantly starve themselves can
gain weight while eating only once a day!
We'd like to speed up our metabolism, but unfortunately over thousands and
thousands of years our bodies haven't changed much from the days of the cave man.
Every time we eat, our bodies are already automatically going to convert it to fat even if
it's fat free! Where's the justice?
Portion-Controlled Meals
So how do we change our body from fat storer to fat burner? We have to learn to
use proper nutrition.
So the question is what is proper nutrition? In a nutshell, my idea of
proper nutrition is 4 to 5 portion-controlled, balanced meals about every 3 hours
throughout the day.

By eating this way throughout the day, you'll effortlessly speed up your
metabolism. Think of it this way. If you have a campfire burning and you don't add
wood to the fire, eventually the campfire will burn out.
But if you add a little wood every few hours, the campfire will continue to burn,
and burn nice and hot! So you see, the human metabolism is like the fire - never or rarely
feed it, and it will slow down. Feed it every few hours and it has no choice but to speed
up.

A portion-controlled meal is sensible portion of a lean protein, a sensible portion
of a starchy carbohydrate, and a sensible portion of a fibrous carbohydrate.
