The Abs Diet - Starvation Stops Results
Readers, take note: The abs diet does not work in isolation. To successfully attain six pack abs, we must commit to a lifestyle change that encompasses a healthy eating habit, daily physical activity, and relaxation techniques to lower life stress.
A variety of diets exist out there, but the key to a successful diet is still one that does not encourage deprivation, but rather a diet that focuses on intelligent choices and reduced intake. The more you starve yourself, the more your body goes into emergency mode, leading to greater fat storage around the stomach area and less fat used as energy to prepare for the emergency.
Smart food choices include lean proteins and complex carbohydrates, which your body primarily prefers as its main efficient energy source. The calories from these foods are quickly used up allowing your body to now burn excess fat to fuel its needs. Moreover, energy requirements to digest small, frequent meals throughout the day burns more calories and also stabilizes our energy and blood sugar levels resulting in less food cravings.
Ideally, daily physical activity should include interval and resistance training to raise our metabolism. The energy bursts from interval training maximizes fat burning by keeping the body in "ready" and active mode. The resulting muscles we build from training now requires more energy to maintain, thus, more excess body fat can be tapped as fuel.
And because muscles, by nature, require more energy to "run", your body now has to provide more energy sources for them, which it can now get from excess body fat stored in the stomach area. Fat is then continuously burned even hours after the physical activity.
Relaxation techniques to lower stress like yoga, tai chi, and deep breathing exercises have been found to effectively combat and manage stress levels. Less stress means less Cortisol (a hormone that stores fat in our stomach area) released into our bloodstream.
