Abs and Diet

Ab training is only half the work to achieve fantastic abdominals. A good
high-protein low-carbohydrate diet is a necessity if you hope to develop
fat-free abs. Reduce sweets and increase protein. Eat 30 to 50 grams of
lean protein every three hours. A high protein diet will help you maintain
as much muscle possible, with the encouragement of speeding upfat-burning.
Remember to not eliminate fat intake however, since you need fat to burn
body fat! For maximum definition, restrict carbs to one salad a day. Other
activities which you may try are aerobics, running, swimming. Stair
climbers, treadmills and stationary bikes are also great! The idea is to
raise your metabolism, so 20 to 30 minutes a day of the above activities
will make your abs show much sooner.
