Quick Abs - Choosing the Right Foods
Caloric intake does matter with regards to getting quick abs. If our caloric intake consists of too much non-quality foods and non-smart eating habits, then no matter how faithfully we workout, we're not going to get quick abs.
Choosing the right foods means choosing lean proteins, complex carbohydrates and fibrous foods. Choosing the right foods also means staying away from fatty, fried, fast foods and sugary snacks and pop. The latter are so calorie-laden that the body won't be able to use up all the calories taken in resulting in their conversion to fat, which are ultimately stored in the stomach area.
Healthy, quality foods are more compatible with our body. These foods are more easily converted to useful energy to fuel our activities. Because they're all used up, they won't be converted and stored as fat, usually in our stomach area.
Choosing the right foods and consuming them in smaller amounts but more often during the day ensures that the smaller amount of calories that was just taken in, can now be consumed totally, allowing no excess calories to be converted to fat and stored in the stomach area. In addition, since digestion requires using up energy, excess body fat can be tapped as fuel when recent caloric intake is not enough.
Regular exercise is the other key factor of calorie watching. Having a regular exercise schedule, the body will have a way of increasing its activity level by increasing the body's exertion and overall calorie expenditure.
Add interval and weight training to the mix to push our body to its maximum capacity to work. The muscles now have to work harder which means it has to use up more energy to fix, restock and remove waste products they accumulated from the training. This effect can last awhile resulting in more calories expended.
We do have to take care not to decrease caloric intake by too much because this sends a signal to the brain to start conserving calories for an emergency situation (starvation) and leads to fat storage and a lowered metabolism. That's why small, frequent meals are better than totally not eating and better workouts are required to expend more calories than we take in.
The calorie ratio is a great way to balance our eating and exercise. Eating the right foods, avoiding high calorie foods and eating several meals throughout the day will help keep the caloric intake balanced. While at the same time, regular exercise and incorporating strength training and interval training will help not only increase the body's metabolism but also increase the overall caloric expenditure. - 17274
