5 Myths for Beach Body Abs
There's a pretty good chance that you'll find yourself in a bathing suit sometime this month…poolside, on vacation, the beach – the time is here.
If you are like most people then that realization will 1) bring a grimace to your face and 2) will motivate you to lose some weight.
While I commend your desire to slim down before baring it all, I'm here to warn you of the 5 myths that most people fall for. Don't waste precious time on the following nonsense:
Myth #1: Starve the pounds away.
Attempting to lose weight by starving yourself is not only ineffective, it's also dangerous. It may seem that severe calorie restriction would deliver the quickest weight loss, but your body is complex and by doing so you'll disrupt your metabolism and slow your results. Not sexy.
Tip: Don't starve yourself - instead eat whole food, healthy small meals throughout the day.
Myth #2: Take diet pills to boost your effort.
It's so tempting! The commercials make compelling claims about the power of diet pills, but don't fall for it. Did you know the popular one “Hydroxycut” was recent RECALLED by the FDA for the damage (and death) it is has been proved to cause?
Tip: Don't pop a pill - instead incinerate the calories with proper exercise.
Myth #3: Do extra crunches to flatten your abs.
People spend about 217 BILLION a year on products to help them flatten their tummies and reveal 6 pack abs. Newsflash: Save Your Money. And stop doing crunches or sit ups in pursuit of the elusive sexy core. You need focus on burning off the layer of fat that is covering up your abs.
Tip: Don't obsess about crunches - instead focus on fat burning.
Myth #4: Eat packaged diet foods for speedy results.
All the money spent on pricey “diet” foods is mind boggling. More often than not these products are packed with refined sugar and other artificial ingredients that your body doesn't need.
Tip: Don't eat packaged diet foods - instead stick with nutritious whole foods.
Myth #5: Avoid all carbohydrates in order to slim down.
NO NO NO. Carbohydrates have been given a bad rap, which is unfortunate because you can (and should) eat carbs while losing weight. Yes, you need to eliminate the processed sugars from your diet, but increase the whole fruits and veggies. The key is to stick with the majority of your carbs from with whole grains, oatmeal and brown rice while avoiding processed and refined flours and sugars.
Tip: Don't eliminate ALL carbohydrates - instead stick with nutritious, fiberous carb sources like green vegetables and select fruits. Oh…and it them at the right time of day – but that’s a whole other story ;)
Now that you know what NOT to do in order to look sport some s.exxy abs this summer, it's time to go over your beach body game plan. Here's what you need to know in 3 simple steps:
• Step One: Cut out the junk.
The best way to do this is to start by purging your kitchen. Look at the ingredient lists. Get rid of sugary, processed foods. Once the junk has been cleared out don't buy any more of it. Remember that your beach ready abs depend on what you eat - don't eat junk!
• Step Two: Focus on whole foods.
Replace the junk food in your life with plenty of the following: cooked and raw vegetables, fresh fruits, whole grains, moderate amounts of seeds and nuts, lean meats and low fat dairy. Clean eating really is that simple.
• Step Three: Come train with the most elite fitness system on the planet.
This is pretty obvious. With the proper accountability, motivation, efficient fitness systems and expert coaching, you’ll be on the fast track to the beach looking like a million bux.
