The Abs Diet - Starvation Stops Results

By Jose Loni

Actually, there is no ab diet to follow to get ripped abs. If you want abs, choose exercise, not dieting. Dieting is just one component of getting a flat stomach. We should take part in an active lifestyle of monitoring what we eat, exercising regularly and reducing stress in our lives.

A variety of diets exist out there, but the key to a successful diet is still one that does not encourage deprivation, but rather a diet that focuses on intelligent choices and reduced intake. The more you starve yourself, the more your body goes into emergency mode, leading to greater fat storage around the stomach area and less fat used as energy to prepare for the emergency.

Smart food choices include lean proteins and complex carbohydrates, which your body primarily prefers as its main efficient energy source. The calories from these foods are quickly used up allowing your body to now burn excess fat to fuel its needs. Moreover, energy requirements to digest small, frequent meals throughout the day burns more calories and also stabilizes our energy and blood sugar levels resulting in less food cravings.

Training with resistance will help to increase our metabolism. Not only will we sculpt our bodies, but it helps our body to optimize its fat burning capacity. When we train with weights, and in quick interval bursts, we can increase our metabolism to burn fat. In addition, the muscles we develop will need more energy to function, which increases the body's overall metabolism.

With increased metabolism, our muscles need to work harder and as a result it needs to expend more energy. It then takes the excess fat that we have and utilizes that as energy. The body becomes more efficient at burning fat, even up to several hours after an exercise session.

Relaxation techniques to lower stress like yoga, tai chi, and deep breathing exercises have been found to effectively combat and manage stress levels. Less stress means less Cortisol (a hormone that stores fat in our stomach area) released into our bloodstream.

There is no ab diet that will get us ripped abs. Instead of dieting, choosing exercise, watching what we eat, reducing stress from our lives will get quicker longer lasting results, which will give us the six pack abs that we want. - 17274
