Your best friend while trying to get six-pack abs will be the mirror and not the scales. If you see yourself making notable changes in the mirror after the first few weeks than you are on the right track. If you feel you are not losing fat fast enough, I would recommend dropping 150 to 200 calories from your daily caloric intake and then adding in an extra cardio session per week. To cut calories out of your diet you can simply reduce the portion of a few meals throughout the day. Do not, however, skip any meals! You still want to be feeding your muscles every 2½ to 3 hours. Assess your progress weekly and decide whether you need to take action if you stop seeing changes. Do not drop in excess of 250 calories in your daily caloric intake in one go. Make sure you do it in small increments weekly. For example, if you decide you are not losing fat fast enough, drop 150 to 200 calories from your daily intake. Assess yourself at the end of the week, and if you feel you are still not making changes cut out another 150 to 200 calories. Once you get to a stage when you are noticing changes on a weekly basis, stop cutting calories.
You do not want to overdo it either with too much cardio or cutting away too many calories. Remember, it’s not an overnight solution; it’s a healthy and smart way to lose body fat and get abs. When you start to lose weight too fast, you can surely bet that you are also losing muscle, and what you will end up with is no muscle tone and saggy loose skin.
Wrapping it Up
Remember, consistency is the key. What separates a great physique from an average person who works out is a commitment to consistency in your nutrition, weight training and cardio. Now, armed with the knowhow and facts, get ready to finally make this summer different.
