When talking about female abs, nutrition is something which I always get lots of questions about. I always have and it’s likely I always will. The main problem people have with nutrition is that they are suffering from information overload.

There is so much information out there what should you listen to? Some people say to have a low fat diet, others say cut out carbs, and others say high protein, so, which is right?

The answer is they are all right, don’t over complicate nutrition at the end of the day its really simple. I have a couple of golden rules which I advise people to follow which I think help to keep nutrition nice and easy.

Female Abs: Rule 1- Eat everything! Ehhh???? I know what you are thinking, how can you get great looking female abs by eating everything? Well by everything I don’t mean everything you can get your hands on, that will only get you fat, I mean everything in the sense of a balanced diet. Don’t only eat protein, or exclude fat from your diet. If you are doing sufficient cardio work you should be able to eat a balance diet, supply your body with all the nutrients it needs while keeping in great shape and more importantly making your abs shine.

When you are doing exercise you really shouldn’t need to worry about calories, your body is like a car, it needs energy. In the case of a car the energy is petrol or diesel, in the case of your body the energy is food. If you don’t eat what happens? Obviously you will start to loose weight, feel really weak and eventually it will damage your health. This is obvious but think of why this happens? If you don’t put any petrol in your car what happens when you run out? The car won’t go anymore will it? Well your body is exactly the same except when your body’s fuel tank gets to empty it essentially starts to eat its self as a source of energy, once its used up all the food what’s left to use? Two things: fat and muscle.

When a car is switched of it does not use any energy, and although a car cant eat itself, if it could it wouldn’t need to because it can completely shut off. We however as humans cannot, so we always need energy hence we always need food. Ok so I have kind of went off at a tangent here so let me summarise this rule.

Try to eat a complete diet but use common sense, you don’t need a dietician to know that you shouldn’t be eating chocolate, crisps, chips, take away etc, that’s just common sense so use it.

Also don’t eat any processed foods, by that I mean ready meals etc. Prepare all your meals that way you can control every ingredient that goes into it. I heard somewhere that the item with most calories in McDonalds is the BBQ sauce! Now I cant be sure if this is true or not but it serves the point I’m trying to make, when you buy processed foods, unless you are capable of reading the labels which can be misleading and confusing, you don’t know what’s actually in it. To avoid this make all your meals with fresh ingredients and not only will you appreciate and enjoy your food a lot better but you will benefit form it hugely when it comes to getting the best from those great female abs. Ok to summarise yet again, eat a balanced diet and apply common sense.

Female Abs: Rule 2- Eat Little And Often

Now this might sound cliché but if it’s so obvious how come you still don’t do it? If you are like 90% of the people out there you are lucky if you eat 3 meals a day. From now on I want you to eat 6 meals a day.

At this point you are probably thinking I’m mad, but that’s because you likely don’t understand what I mean by “meal”. A meal doesn’t have to be a Sunday roast! Obviously if you eat 6 of those a day your abs would not be very visible at all. A meal can be a yogurt, or some mixed peanuts, by 6 meals a day I mean 6 small portions. You shouldn’t be consuming more calories than normal, you should be eating the same amount but just divide it up over more meals.

So lets say at the moment you skip breakfast but you have lunch and dinner plus all the bits and pieces you eat throughout the day. Your total calories is 2000, what I want you to do in the future is still eat 2000 but divide it up over 6 meals so each small portion should be approximately 333 calories. Do you understand what I mean? I hope so, if not leave a comment and I’ll explain it more.

The idea behind this is that it speeds up your metabolism, put simply you burn more calories in your day-to-day life if you eat more often than not.

Female Abs: Rule 3- Don’ Eat For The Sake Of It!

This last rule is again some common sense but not enough people apply it. Have you ever wandered into the kitchen, opened the fridge, closed the fridge went back to the living room then 10 minutes later you do exactly the same thing except come back with crisps or a biscuit? This is eating for the sake of it. Unless its time for one of your planned 6 meals a day don’t eat. To go back to my previous example, treat you body like a machine, unless you have some planned activity don’t eat for the sake of it, your body doesn’t have a use for the energy you supply it and as a result puts it into its reserve tank aka fat. Always remember this, its not like the common phrase if you don’t use it you don’t use it you lose it, in your body if you don’t lose it you store it until you do use it.

I hope this has simplified nutrition for many of you and if you have any specific questions please feel free to leave a comment and I’ll do my best to answer all your questions, if I don’t know the answer I’ll do my best to find out.

P.S I Was thinking of doing another nutrition-based article of fat burning foods, is this something you would be interested in?
