So on my quest for a six pack this year, I invested in the book The Abs Diet, 6 Minute Meals for 6-pack abs. Since I haven't read the actual Abs Diet book, I was glad when I found the basic concepts...I'm still going through the book so I'll post more info as I come across it.
So here are the Abs Diet Power 12:
A - Almonds
B - Beans and legumes
S - Spinach and other green vegatables
D - Dairy (fat-free or lowfat milk, yogurt and cheese)
I - Instant Oatmeal (unsweetened, unflavored)
E - Eggs
T - Turkey and other lean meats
P - Peanut butter
O - Olive Oil
W - Whole grain breads and cereals
E - Extra protein (whey) powder
R - Raspberries and other berries
While this isn't really anything new, its just another way to look at the fuel you should be putting into your body. They suggest 6 meals per day (equally spaced throughout the day) and each meal should have at least 2 of these "powerfoods". I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of meals I'll be able to make in....6 minutes!!!
