The Abs Diet - Whey
I bought the Abs Diet over the weekend. I am on a mail distribution that gets weekly updates on the topic so caved in and bought it. I even read it (well sort of skimmed the pages). As a result I have made a resolution - no more purchase of health magazines or books like this. There isn't any more room on my bookshelves. To be fair the Abs Diet book is OK and has some good premises but it can all be brought back to 3-4 basic premises for fitness and health. The problem is I am not doing enough – hence this blog and endless changing of plans and goals.
- Exercise regularly with some element of weight training
- Muscle burns fat => develop some form of muscle to improve / speed up you metabolism and fat burning.
- Some foods are better than others and for best benefits eat more of these than others.
- Eat sensibly - drink water
Basically David Zinczenko has written a best seller based on some of these principles. I applaud him - hey I bought the book!! I think I'll go on the lecture circuit and make millions with my "Lost 20 pounds in 10 weeks" fitness plan. And here is how you do the first 4 weeks comrades to save you the $250 sign up fee.
- Week 1 - 4
Walk 3 times a week for 30 minutes - hold it - not a simple stroll. Walk hard make sure that you at least perspire (sweat men!!). - Do the following exercises 3 times a week press ups, crunches 3x 15 repetitions
- Do some light weight workout - grab some large tins of beans and these will do - curls, squats
- Eat regularly and don't go near any of the demon fast food outlets. If you think it is fatty and bad for you it probably is. Try and eat sensibly 5 days a week at least - work days are easiest.
- Drink lots of water - if you are drinking none now - up the ante - buy a big bottle - keep one in the car. You should be flowing in and out to the bathroom with the amount you drink.
- Don’t weigh yourself till at least 4 weeks into the exercise program.
- If you are up to it do a little jog during your walk - nobody will pay attention if it isn't a flowing Gazelle like stride - its for you.
Come to the seminar !!
