Most moms would give their left ovary for flatter abs. Ok, maybe not an ovary, perhaps a kidney? There are just a few simple steps to having flatter abs. If you followed these 4 steps for 4-6 weeks you would notice a dramatic difference in your abs. This “Abs Diet for Women” is essentially what we teach moms in our Pregnancy Weight Loss Program.
These two moms, Jenny and Beth, recently spent 4 weeks focusing on the principles of this sort of abs diet and look at their results:
Pretty amazing, huh?
I’m going to tell you the exact 4 things these Mamas did to lose big inches off their waist. It’s not a diet, per se. It’s a lifestyle. So, you could say it’s the “Abs Lifestyle for Moms Who Want a Flatter Belly.” Here are the 4 steps these Jenny and Beth used. Take notes!
1. They totally cleaned up their diets and incorporated whole foods into 80%-90% of their diet. If you want to eat better without eating less, you should become a Volume Eater. They also incorporated these Flat Belly Foods into their diet. This way of eating allows you to eat a ton and get really lean, while shedding belly fat.
2. They strength trained. They performed full body strength exercises in their workouts, using their own bodyweight and dumbbells. Here is an example of the kind of workout they did a few times a week. Using strength training to increasing muscle mass is your biggest weapon in changing your body composition in order to burn belly fat and find those abdominal muscles.
3. They did High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) instead of traditional cardio. Tabata training is a perfect example of HIIT. This is the fastest and smartest way to burn fat. You will burn up to 9 times more fat doing HIIT sessions that traditional cardio sessions. In fact, Beth fell in love with this kind of cardio and even wrangled her older daughters into doing this workout with her.
4. They did challenging abdominal exercises as a FOURTH priority in this plan. This is where many moms go wrong. They think adding ab exercises is the first step to flattening your belly. It is actually the LAST step. Once you have steps 1-3 totally dialed in, you can work on ab specific exercises. If you do ab work without incorporating steps 1-3, you are totally and completely wasting your time. You will never see your 6 pack under a belly of diet coke and goldfish crackers. You will never kind your six pack through walking or spinning your legs for hours on the elliptical.
So, once you have committed 110% to steps 1-3, you can add step 4. Here are a couple really “fun” moves you can try out – two of my favorites:
Here is a full core workout you can tag on to the end of any workout:
So, how bad do you want that flat belly? Since you can’t get it by donating your left ovary, or even a kidney, you will have to work a little for it. But I’d say it’s worth four weeks of focus if you could see the dramatic change that Jenny and Beth saw – and there is NO reason you can’t have the same results.
