Can You Get a Six Pack Eating Snacks and Sodas?
A reader asked:
I don’t have a big stomach but I don’t have the abs that I want. The biggest problem is, I think, I don’t want to stay away from all the snacks and sodas. Do you know a way around this?
I wrote back:
What matters is the total quantity of food (calories) you eat, not really what you eat (read tip number 3 of the Free Nutrition Revolution Preview). So, in theory, if you ate less of whatever you’re eating, you’d lose fat, belly fat, and your abs would show.
The problem is snacks and sodas contain a lot of calories for their size. They don’t make you feel full, and keep you eating more. Thus you pile the calories and can’t lose fat.
I can suggest two things:
- Eat more protein-rich foods (as suggested in The Crash Course On Dieting). Those are meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, and nuts (mainly). These foods will keep you full, so you’re less likely to snack.
- Eat more vegetables. Vegetables contain very calories and use up a lot of space. Again, they’ll keep you full and keep you away from snacks.
Do you think this’ll work for you? Comment to answer.
