A safe abs diet strategy is simple, but not exactly easy to follow. I will outline exactly what you need to do, but it is up to you to act accordingly. Mainly people who can’t get perfect abs blame genetics. While this comes into play a bit, failing to achieve a washboard stomach is simply a side effect of eating too much. If you are not eating a lot of calories and still see that it is not a six pack, I can help you too.

Going from XX% body fat to 10% is easy.

If you have more than 10% body fat, you simply need to create a calorie deficit over time and you will lose body fat. This is where people make this more difficult than necessary. They believe that each day you should have a slight calorie deficit. So every day they make sure they are strict and stick to their diet. This is a difficult way to create a calorie deficit. This is a better way.

Think weekly calorie deficit, NOT daily

I have consulted thousands of people and this has made a huge difference in the results people get. Outside of the week, allow yourself 2-3 days when you eat like “everyone else.” Don’t go out of your way to eat junk, but feel free to eat pizza, good food, beer, etc. Choose 2-3 days that same week and cut calories extremely. Honestly, you can eat as little as 800 calories and still maintain muscle mass. I recommend doing the intermittent fasting method of only having dinner 2-3 days a week. Google the term “intermittent fasting” if you don’t know what that means. On the remaining days of the week, try to avoid foods that are very high in calories, but eat regularly most of the time. This strategy creates a “weekly calorie deficit” and allows you to consistently reduce body fat while enjoying a good meal..

Going from 10% body fat to 6-8% is where things get the most difficult

Now, you will want to try to tie in at least 5 days with fewer calories before adding the high to moderate calorie days. To really lose that stubborn body fat, you will have to go through periods of time when your body is depleted of “food energy.” The only way to do this is to chain days into a calorie deficit. This is when you will benefit the most from cardiovascular exercise as well. After 5-7 days in deficit, add 2 days when you eat considerably more calories. This will reset your metabolism and return you to fat burning mode. Chain 5-7 more days of deficit. This is how you will zigzag down to 8% body fat or less. This is the simplest and most effective “six-pack diet” I know of.
