Abs Diet

By Weight Loss Consultant • Related • Filed Under

The Abs Diet promises to give you a leaner, flatter stomach in only six weeks. As a matter of fact, according to their website you could lose up to twelve pounds of that stubborn belly fat you hate within the first two weeks. The Abs Diet was created by Men’s Health magazine’s editor in chief, David Zinczenko. In his letter to prospective buyers on the Abs Diet website he mentions that he analyzes, “health information the way brokers analyze the market.” He also mentions that he is employed to help readers figure out how best to improve their bodies.

Zinczenko makes a guarantee that the Abs Diet will give readers–well, readers who follow the diet–a flat stomach along with a great body in only six weeks. He states that the program helps your body transform your belly fat into muscle and does so by teaching you what to eat and how to exercise. Zinczenko talks on the Abs Diet website about how impossibly restrictive and often unhealthy diets are. He points out that 95% of the people who go on diets end up failing for the reasons above and because dieting can be tedious and confusing. Anyone who has counted calories in the past can attest to that.

The website doesn’t actually disclose anything about the website. There are many “expert” reviews from doctors and nutritionists. One interesting review is from movie personality, The Rock. He discusses that the Abs Diet is about sensible diet and exercise. The doctors and nutritionists whose reviews show up on the site say much the same.

While the official Abs Diet website does not contain food information from the diet, Men’s Health’s website (the publication Abs Diet creator Zinczenko works for) does share some information. The recipes on the Men’s Health website are consist of a smoothie recipe, a snack, lunch and dinner. Breakfast consists of a smoothie with some oatmeal and peanut butter along with other ingredients. Snack I more peanut butter but this time paired with raw vegetables. Lunch is a sandwich on wheat with an apple, and dinner is a meatball sub made with lean meat and cheese.

From the looks of it, the Abs Diet is focused on teaching people how to eat properly and exercise. With a diet of smoothies, raw veggies and lean meats, it may be varied and satisfying enough to keep people on the diet or, it may result in failure as so many other diets do. The exercise plan required for the Abs Diet seems to focus on normal weight training exercises such as bench presses and squats. From the brief outline of the exercise plan shown on the Men’s Health website, there does not seem to be much, if any focus on cardio exercises like walking or running on a treadmill, using a stationary bike or jump roping. Since muscle is known to burn fat faster and can help to increase a resting metabolism, it could be that this focus on strength training exercises is more effective in helping participants reach that twelve week flat stomach guarantee. For some, they may even find the exercise routine easier to stick to since there is a lot of variety and the exercises themselves are done in short bursts.

You should always meet with your primary care physician before adding any new supplements and diet aides or new exercise and eating plans to your routine. You never know what kind of affect the new routines or supplements will have on you and your health and you never know how ingredients from new supplements and aides will react with your current medications. Discussing the changes with your primary care physician before you start can help to ensure that you stay safe and healthy and don’t do anything to damage your future.
