What to eat to get 6 pack abs

It has been said that 6 pack abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym. This couldn’t be more true. You can do all the sit ups and crunches you want. It will not make any difference if you are not following a good nutritional program. I am about to tell you exactly what kind of foods to eat to get 6 pack abs and I’m also going to tell you what foods to avoid. But, I’m also going to tell you exactly how those foods should be eaten which is probably the most important part of all.

The first thing you should know is what foods to avoid. These are overly processed and highly refined foods that typically come in boxes or bags. Avoid at all costs, fast food, soda, French fries and any other food that is more than a few steps away from the way nature intended you to eat it. For example: have a hand full of fresh blueberries not a piece of blue berry pie.

Now, on to the foods you should eat. These are things like lean beef or bison, turkey, chicken and fish. Have raw or steamed vegetables with your meals as well as some fresh fruit. Eat brown rice as opposed to white rice (white rice is overly processed). Eat whole wheat bread as opposed to white bread. Again, eat your foods in a state that is as close to nature as possible.

Now, it’s not just what you eat but how you eat it. You must be a grazer not a gorger. Eat like a gazelle not a lion. This means that instead of three large meals a day you will eat 4 – 6 smaller meals. This is because after a large meal you have a spike in insulin which effects your fat burning capabilities. When you eat 4 – 6 smaller meals your insulin levels are more even and you are able to burn more fat. And, that’s what getting 6 pack abs is all about; burning fat.
