I used to think that getting a six pack was a matter of doing more crunches, sit-ups and ab exercises.  I thought that if I did 100 sit-ups a day I will have a flatter and more well defined stomach.

Not so, according to Mike Geary of Truth about Abs fame. Fat loss is the number one component of  how you start to get a six pack. Losing fat is a matter of diet and eating the right kind of foods that puts your metabolism in overdrive.

Food that has creates a huge spike in glucose levels in our body such as high fructose corn syrup and sugar do little to burn fat and should be avoided as much as possible.  It sabotages  fat loss efforts. Instead you should eat more foods that are high in protein and complex carbohydrates. Foods that are high in fiber such as fruits and grains will release glucose into the body more slowly and over a longer period of time. This ultimately helps you feel less hungry and increases your body’s fat burning capabilities.

Also, doing the proper exercises such as building muscle on your body which will continue to burn calories over a longer period of time once you are done exercising will also  help increase fat loss.

It is the result of proper diet and learning the right type of exercises that increase fat loss more efficiently that will ultimately  lead you to get a six pack.
