3 Secrets to AWESOME Abs

The #1 question I hear as a BeachBody coach is, "How can I get a 6 pack?" I know this was my first first thought when I started the BB programs. ESPECIALLY after having an almost 13 lb. baby that turned my once trim belly into mushy bowls of jello....
Yes, Ab RipperX, Hip Hop Abs, Turbo Abs will all get you nice muscle form BUT there is something even more important than these ab routines.... FOOD INTAKE! (are you seeing a pattern here) 80-90% of your game will be how/what/when you are eating

So, I'm going to reveal 3 of the BIGGEST secrets to trimming down your whole body and especially that pesty mid-section.



1) Eat breakfast like a King/Queen. Lunch like a Prince/Princess. And dinner like a pauper (with 2 snacks in between).

Always eat the bulk of your food intake by 3:30 pm and you will feel energized and regal :)



2) NEVER eat within 3 hours before bedtime.

I know many folks who have lost weight simply but cutting out that evening snacking- a killer!


3) Always eat 20-35 grams of lean protein each meal- (that's right, 5 times per day)

Depending on your level of activity you can play with the amount but NEVER below 15 grams. Visit "Michi's Ladder" top 3 tiers for lean protein ideas.


These are 3 simple and POWERFUL solutions to getting a lean, trim body fast!
