How to Get Ripped Abdominal Muscles Quickly By Dieting

By George Green

There is a layer of fat tissue that lies of over the ab muscles keeping them hidden. In order to get that ripped look you see on television and in magazines then you are going to have to get rid of this layer. This overlying layer of fat is what gives a lot of people that fat, loose, flabby look.

Increasing the calories burned and reducing calorie intake is the best way to get rid of this fat layer. In this article I'm going to focus on reducing calorie intake so you will know how to get ripped fast.

You only need to look on the bookshelves or in a DVD shop to find a lot of items about dieting. This can be very overwhelming. Reducing the calorie intake, however, is the main focus of the majority of these products. The main problem most people face though is staying motivated and keeping on the diet. To achieve your goal of getting rid of that fat and keeping those abs requires a change of lifestyle and a long term view.

The question that remains, therefore, is how do we keep motivated? Breaking down the long term goal, which can often seem like a huge mountain to climb, into shorter term goals I have found to be the best approach. It is important not to look beyond each short term aim. A lot of sporting disciplines such as weight training can benefit from this stepwise approach.

Going out and lifting a huge weight straight up is not advisable. Instead it would be better to work up to it slowly. The best and safest approach would be to gradually increase the the amounted you lifted until finally after a number of weeks or months you would probably reach your ultimate goal. This can be applied to dieting.

I have found the greatest success by aiming for around a 4 pounds weight loss over a one month period. Compared to those dieting books and DVDs this may seem very little. However, with most of these crash diets it is easy to become quickly demotivated and as a result of the sudden slowing of the body's metabolism it becomes increasingly difficult to lose weight.

The important thing to remember is that if you were able to lose 4 pounds in weight a month, that is a huge 48 pounds over a twelve month period. Now that is a very serious amount. Remember, lots of small losses quickly add up into large losses. At the end of each month I usually set the target for the next month with a general outline of a plan which I often find goes a long way to keeping me motivated.

So if you're looking to get rid of fat or following a fitness program to get ripped or to just look and feel more healthier then a smaller stepwise plan is the best way to proceed. - 17274
