The Abs Diet

More food (of the right kind) plus more muscle equals less flab. That is the premise put forward by David Zinczenko Editor in Chief of Men’s Health Magazine in his books ‘the Abs Diet’ and ‘The Abs Diet for Women’. Published in 2004 ‘the Abs Diet’ was followed in 2007 with ‘The Abs Diet for Women: The Six Week Plan to Flatten Your Belly and Firm Up Your Body for Life’. Designed to shape abs, flatten the belly and lose 20 pounds in 6 weeks through strength training (cardio and weights) healthy nutrition and exercise.

The books recommend eating 6 meals a day based on the 12 power foods for fat burning in a 7 day meal plan which includes recipes. There is nothing new to be found in this diet which basically eliminates foods that are high in fat and sugar content with no need for calorie counting. Both books are readily available on-line.
