There are lots of things that will help you get lean, toned, and show off your six pack abs. Tom Venuto of the Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle book has not one list but actually four lists of top 10 foods to lose fat and help you get six pack abs.

The lists he has are:

Top 10 Starchy Foods

Top 10 Vegetables

Top 10 Lean Proteins

Top 10 Fruits

The lists are really interesting as I have thought of compiling something like this before but never got around to it. Read it and let us know what you think.

Looking to make a change and lose some weight? I have reviewed the top diet on the internet and you can go and read over 200 comments people have made about why this diet has worked well for them, as well as some of the problems.

We all know the exercises that we need to do the lower ab exercises as well as the upper ab exercises and of course the obliques and intercostals but really the eating is the core of getting 6 pack abs.

First of all lets be clear, there is no such thing as spot reduction. It seems over the last few years there have been even more creams and pills that have promised to melt away the fat in the abs but really these miracle 6 pack ab solutions are not miracles at all and will not get you any closer to the six pack that you desire. Instead you need to lower the amount of bodyfat on your whole body.

OK, so how are you going to lower your bodyfat? Are you going to low carb like Atkins? Are you going to rely on getting all the fat out of your diet? These are two options that may work but in the long term you will probably want this six pack next summer as well as this summer so you need to choose a diet that you can stick to always. I believe that the best six pack diet is the one that you can always follow. Read the rest of this entry »

Many of us not only wish to lose weight but also gain six pack abs like our favorite celebrities; this is particularly true for males. There is nothing more exhilarating than being able to flaunt your six-pack body in front of your make friends and make them jealous, or show off your biceps to the gals out there and win their hearts.

In case you don’t know already, there is an ebook called ‘six pack Secrets‘ which offers you a step-by-step guide to help you acquire a muscular and strong body in no time. In this article, I will tell you more about it.

To be honest, this ebook is geared mainly towards those who are too thin and underweight and need to gain weight to become stronger. However, you can use this information even if you are of normal weight or overweight. And since I prefer to be upfront with people, let me tell you beforehand that if you don’t like working out, this ebook is not for you. Certainly, you cannot expect to acquire six-pack without doing some hard work in the gym. Read the rest of this entry »

OK I guess this year is an open book for me, no real burning plans but lots of little things that I want to do, see, and experience. I try to share whatever I can on this blog so I thought that I would share some of what I am hoping to do this year. Just in point form, you wouldn’t want to see all the writing that went into these goals/resolutions for the year.

Run a 10k – This has been on my list for years but I have never been able to run long enough to get my self ready to run one. My crap knee gets sore and swollen and I stop my running workouts. This year I am going to try to cross train any way that I can so as to avoid too much actual running until race day. This is I know stupid as I will not continue the running beyond that one race but this has been one of those lofty goals to me for year…I want to get it done.

Lose 10 pounds of fat – I have been holding on to this ten pounds of fat for a few years. I am not really lean but I know that the 10 pound loss to pring me weight around 190 will make me feel better and look better if only for the summer (it’s hard to see a 6 pack in Calgary in the Winter).

Reduce the bad stuff – Dropping my intake of chocolate, pop and coffee. I will not be quitting them as we all know that is a certain path to failure but I will instead be very conscious of the times that I have any of these things and will reduce on a weekly basis the amount that I am taking in.

Work, Play and Family – I have all three although I often blur the lines between them. This year I will be shutting off the computer more and staying away from the blackberry when I don’t need it. Reading with the kids more and going out to do my own fun stuff as well. Over the last three years or so I have been trying to juggle and multitask myself into doing a lot of things and in the end I have let my family suffer by doing stuff with them while thinking about the web or how I resent not doing more fun stuff.

These are all fitness, home and health type resolutions. I have lots more for career and earnings and other things that are not related to this. I am going to be moving again this year and want to travel more as well. One of my big goals this year will also to be to make more money online so that my IT work is not the only income source that I have. I also want to be leaving free time all over the place to do things like writing a book (non fitness related) that I have been apparently working on for years as well as making it a focus to type faster and with fewer mistakes and finally to make sure that I have the time to try new things. There are always opportunities in life for new adventures and new skills but when you are too busy you just have to let them pass by. This year I am going to let less things pass me by.
