As some of you may have experienced, no matter how hard you train, you just can not seem to get the results you want! The Secret to getting an ABS starts in the kitchen, NOT the gym. You can crunch and crunch until the cows come home, but if you’re still eating like one, you’ll never see the results. Reduction of body fat is the only way to uncover that hidden ABS. Eat a well-balanced diet that includes lean proteins, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats and plenty of fruits and veggies.

If your diet is poor, you will find that you acquire little or no results! Even if you exercise every day. 

Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that you shouldn’t do any ABS workout. You still need to do that to define those abs, but you are NOT going to see them until you change your relationship with food! hahahahaha :D

One more thing!!

Don't skip meals; I know this sounds like something your mother would say, but skipping meals equals to mental and physical exhaustion and will also lead to weight gain. Not eating or skipping meals SLOWS down your metabolism, so when you DO eat something your body immediately stores it as fat as it doesn't know when its next meal is coming.. So, DON'T SKIP MEALS. Eat healthy, clean & nutritious foods. Be consistent with your clean eating & exercise.

Alright, Here's some of the good food for our body! Check it out （^_−)−☆
