I guess its a a well-known fact that our diet plays a significant factor in determining whether will we get the 6 pack abs we desired .No matter how great your workout routine is and how much sweat you sweated out, having the wrong type of diet will bring you nowhere to getting the 6 pack abs.

In order to get the 6 pack abs, you're going to have to obtain very low body fat digits such that the top layer of your stomach is decreased,showing your ab muscles. In general, the abs muscles will most likely start to reveal itself once you get your body fat % to be below 10 %.However, don't get hung up on the numbers too much. Constantly see yourself in the mirror and judge yourself whether do you still need to decrease your body fat %.

In order to decrease your fat % , you will need to incorporate "abs food"
( Foods that are specifically geared towards maximum fat loss and muscle maintenance) in your abs diet.

With that, I present you the list of the top ab foods that should be keeping your stomach's gastric juice churning at them constantly :

1) Spinach and other vegetable

2) Egg whites

3) Apple

4) Peanut Butter

5) Diary products

6) Turkey and other lean meat

7) Unsweetened Oatmeal

8) Low sodium cottage cheese

1st abs food for your abs diet - Spinach and other green vegetables

Vegetables in general, are packed with important nutrients. Spinach in particular, is a favorite vegetable recommended by most professional instructors mainly due to its extreme high value of nutrient. Spinach itself contains a substantial amount of carotenoids ( serve as biological antioxidants, protecting cells and tissues from the damaging effects of free radicals and singlet oxygen).as well as quercetin ( a phytochemical which presents antioxidant effects too.) Moreover, you will also get folic acid, vitamin K, magnesium, manganese to that and more protein from spinach than from many of the other vegetable options. It is also loaded with folate - a vitamin that protects against heart disease, stroke, and colon cancer.

Preparation Procedure : You may dress a sandwich with Spinach or stir-fry it with garlic and olive oil.

2nd abs food for your abs diet - Egg whites

Egg whites, being relatively cheap and readily available is another favorite ab food recommended by most professional trainers. Egg whites contain the highest "biological value of protein " - allowing us to digest the protein rapidly, making the protein in eggs more effective at building muscles than protein from other food sources. Moreover, eggs also contain vitamin B12 , which is necessary for fats breakdown.

Health concern about eggs: For a long time, eggs were considered as a harmful food to consume due to its relatively high amount of cholesterol value. However, studies have actually shown that eating an egg or two each day will not increase your cholesterol fact. In fact, most blood cholesterol comes from dietary fats instead of dietary cholesterol. Therefore, you wont have to be too uptight about your cholesterol level when consuming eggs.

The remaining abs food will be covered in the article : "The top 8 abs food for your abs diet ( Part 2 )". Do lookout for it !
