What is the perfect abs diet?

I would suggest it is one that will efficiently strip away belly fat and replace it with a firm ripped 6 pack of abs.

Would you agree?

The science behind an abs diet would be to eat the correct foods that encourage muscle growth while building in exercise which promotes fat loss and muscle growth.

An ideal abs diet would be very low in fat, quite high in protein to support the additional muscle growth, high in fiber and virtually absent of carbohydrates.

The critical element would be keeping away from the high fat that is found in so many food products. If you can stick to a low fat diet, which would certainly mean no more fast food takeaways, you can really make huge inroads into achieving those ripped abs and a stomach that is flat as a washboard. This said a moderate amount of fat is an important element of diet and is probably obtained through eating fresh fish such as Salmon which is extremely rich in a very beneficial fatty acid called Omega 3.

What about the fiber intake? Again good scientific data suggests a good level of fiber in the diet ensures food moves efficiently through the body. Adding fiber gradually would ensure your body tolerates the increase without becoming completely “congested”. Compliment this with an increase in proteins through either foods that are high in protein or through protein shakes and bars. Taking the natural protein option would include eating foods like nuts, pulses, lean meats such as turkey and chicken. Keeping your cooking options “low fat” through grilling or broiling would of course be a significant advantage.

What’s the best way to curtail your carbohydrate intake?

As with all the food types you need carbohydrates….probably just not in the volumes you’re used to eating. I would suggest you go for an oat meal cereal in the morning to set you up for the day and then try and refrain from eating any more carb’s until lunch. Maybe brown rich coupled with lean beef or grilled fish would provide the perfect mix of low fat high protein, abs diet for the ultimate 6 pack abs.
