Six Abs Diet – Questions & Answers

Hi Guys, I wanted to share some six abs diet questions from my trainees this week. I hope the answers will prove useful in your ‘Six Pack’ endeavours!

Question:

I am finding it quite difficult to eat the five/six meals per day because I don’t feel hungry. I was wondering if I am wrong in eating when I’m not hungry, or is that the whole point (to prevent hunger)?

Answer:

Eating five or six meals per day is an essential part of any fat loss nutrition plan. The importance of this protocol is to keep your metabolism rate as high as possible.

If people go too long without eating, they tend to overcompensate at the end of the day. It could be that your portions are too big or contain too many carbohydrates hence why they’re filling you up too much.

What most people find works best is to supplement with a Protein shake or Meal Replacement Powder mid morning and mid afternoon to act as two meal replacements, this way you don’t need to worry about eating a full meal.

A shake will provide you with all the essential nutrients you need. Your meal plan could look similar to this: 8am: Meal, 10.30: Protein Shake or MRP, 12.30: Meal 3.00: Protein Shake, 5.30: Meal, 8.00: Meal or Shake

Question:

I noticed that eggs have a lot of fat. Is this okay?

Answer:

Egg yolks (yellow part) are the part of the egg which has the high fat and cholesterol content, this is why I only recommend the whites.

For every four whites, you may have one yolk. Typically a medium sized egg without the yolk will provide 4 grams of protein.

Question:

When including protein within each meal, do you only count the protein from meat, fish or poultry? Or do you have to take into account the protein present in rice, cereal etc? E.g. for breakfast do you have to count the protein in cereal and make up the rest with protein shake?

Answer:

Yes, you should only count the protein from whole foods, for example Chicken, Turkey, Fish, Meat, Egg Whites, Nuts, Protein Bars or Shakes.

Protein found in other foods such as pasta, rice, cereal or smaller snacks are minimal and are not considered ‘pure proteins’ like the other foods above, therefore their biological values are very small and need not be counted towards your daily intake.

Question:

I was just wondering whether or not it is ok to consume alcohol (mainly beer) while on the program?

Answer:

Ideally you do need to stay away from alcohol, especially beer.

Beer contains a considerable amount of ‘empty calories’ which your body finds very hard to burn off. It also dehydrates you which cause negative effects on your muscle building potential.

You know how a hangover makes you feel, well dehydration is what causes the nastier side effects such as headache, nausea and zero energy.

If you really want to look good, alcohol (especially beer) must be cut back. Red wine, Whisky or Vodka are much preferred as their calorie content is much lower.

However, these drinks are more prone to give hangovers. Drinking once a week is ok, however binge drinking or heavy weekend drinking will ruin progress.

If you are out for a special occasion my own personal way to limit a hangover is to try and drink water towards the end of the night in between your beers or other alcoholic drinks.

Before bedtime have another full glass of water.
