The Flat-Abs Diet Plan
A hot beach body begins with a menu that melts fat, shrinks your waist, and tastes delicious. This powerhouse plan does all that and more. Simply choose from the delicious meals and snacks on these pages for a total of 1,500 calories a day. You'll lose five pounds in a month -- and be swimsuit-ready by summer.
Why It Works
- Healthy monounsaturated fats (aka MUFAs), found in nuts, olive oil, and avocados, have been proven to stop ab flab.
- Foods rich in fiber fill you up so that you eat less and lose more.
- Plenty of fruits and veggies help curb your appetite, thanks to their high water content.

Next: Your Breakfast Choices
I did this last summer, and yes, it works. I only needed to lose about 8lbs., but my muscles were flacid from a long lazy winter. After about 4 weeks of the workouts and a little cardio at the gym, my body looked the best it has ever looked. The strength training exercises really work, and only take about 15 min. to do all. The one armed pushups are different, but doable with the ball. If u don't have one, invest in one. I got a 5lb. weight ball by Danskin for like 10 bucks... great videos!

Foods rich in fiber are also a great way to lose weight and take steps towards a healthy digestive system. A great tool that I use is the food journal at www.FitClick.com, this journal is great to track what you have eaten throughout the day and actually see what choices you are making throughout the day.
