best diet to bring out ABS

[hrt39]

Dr0832,
I think abs are somewhat genetic, not unlike calves. Once I got my abs out, they have stayed visible ever since. Assuming you work them hard and heavy, you may be just 1 - 2% bodyfat from freeing them, while at 10% BF. As far as low carb dieting, just eat most of your carbs earlier in the day and taper them after lunchtime. This was Lee Labrada'a approach, also. Kind of like fill the tanks in the a.m. (glycogen stores) to fuel your maintenance and workout calories then burn through it the rest of the day.

dude, just by being in a caloric deficit, you'll lose weight. if you implement high intensity cardio, then you'll be losing fat and not muscle ... you dont necessarily have to cut carbs out, although a lot of people like to b/c of the fast results

CKD popped out my abs like nothing else.

mrzap, how long did it take on CDK? I am not in a rush by any means. I know more of my body fat is in my ab area, maybe more like 13-14%, even though my overall BF is 10%. I don't really know if I want to lose more weight. My parents are getting worried. They think I am anorexic or something because I have lost about 10lbs in the last 1.5 months, and in fact I eat a hell of a lot more then them and healthier, I just spread it out throughout the day. My plan is to cut down to 7-8% BF and try to get my abs to show, and then maintain for a while and then bulk up and maybe put on 10 lbs of LBM with as little fat as possible and then cut again and drop that fat.

 

[U.S.A's ASAP]

cardio 4-5 times per weak (40 min).
no dairy products, fruits, high fat, fried food, white breads.

carb bodyweight x 1 g (oatmeal, sweat potatoes, greens)
protein (1.5 - 2 g) per bodyweight (egg whites, tuna,)
fat as little as possible (natrually occuring fat in chicken breast, lean beef , turkey, flounder) is okay

3/4- 1 gallon of water a day (limit diet drinks)

supplements
thermogenics, bcaa's, cla, l-glutamine

opptinal supplements
l-tyrosine, l-carnitine, b-3, grean tea(1-2) daily, pyruvate

limit creatine, and mrp's (loaded with sugars,and sodium)

try it for about 4-5 weeks, you should see your abs in no time.

Excellent response USA! Can you please advise: When do you take bcaa? Also, do I need cla if I eat 2 tbs flax oil a day?
Thank you for your help!

It took me about 4 weeks from ~13%. I lost about 2lbs a week. First week I lost 6 pounds but a lot of that was water I'm sure

 

[dr0832]

what kind of stuff were you eating? I would like to try it but I am not sure what fatty foods people have eaten, combined with protein, to see results.

flax seed oil comparable to Fish oil? it is also omega 3 fatty acid.
