At first, Mike Geary's claim of being the honest source on six pack abs seems to be something to be taken with a pinch of salt. Everyone makes those claims. That is, till you actually get hold of his ebook and go through what he has to say. From thereon, it is obvious why the claim is being made and why the book has become a bestseller.
Essentially, there are two types of fat that you have in your abdominal area. The first type that covers up your abs from being visible is called subcutaneous fat and lies directly beneath the skin and on top of the abdominal muscles.
The second type of fat that you have in your abdominal area is called visceral fat, and that lies deeper in the abdomen beneath your muscle and surrounding your organs. Visceral fat also plays a role in giving men that "beer belly" appearance where their abdomen protrudes excessively but at the same time, also feels sort of hard if you push on it.
Ideally, any efforts to reduce abdominal fats and aquire six pack abs ought to combine a scientifically sound nutritious diet full of unprocessed natural foods with a properly designed abdomenal and general exercise program that stimulates the necessary hormonal and metabolic response within your body to get rid of the fat and bring the underlying abdomenal muscles to the fore. Both your food intake as well as your training program are important if this has to happen.
In fact, studies that divided thousands of participants into a diet-only group and an exercise/diet group showed that, while both groups in this study made good progress, the diet-only group lost significantly less abdominal fat than the diet & exercise combined group.
This in a nutshell, is what The Truth About Six Pack Abs - making effective dietary changes as well as going through a focussed abdomenal exercise program to develop six-pack abs fast. This comprehensive 149-page six pack abs guide gives every reader step-by-step instructions to bring out the underlying six-pack abs and stay lean and healthy for life. And, without prejudice, we must say that Mike Geary has done a thorough job of it.
One would expect that Mike would straightaway introdue the user to exercises that burn abdomenal fat and bring out hidden abs, since this is what other programs do first.
No says, Mike. Diet comes before exercise. This is because, no matter how hard you train, most people will never get their body fat low enough to see their abs if their diet habits are poor, the book argues.
Truth about abs goes into great detail about diet and food and the impression that one gets from reading the material is that here is a book that is very well researched. This is obvious from the indepth analysis and information it provides regarding every aspect of diet and nutrition.
The Truth About Abs also pays particular attention to stubborn belly fat and the dietary requirements to make that fat burn. It also goes into aspects of fat loss diets that other programs miss, aspects such as trans fat, animal fats, plant fats, fad diets, estrogenic foods, carbs, glycemic index etc, all of which play an important role in getting rid of accumulated abdomenal fat.
In addition to 12 meal ideas, Truth about abs sets forth 72 meal plan ideas for you to choose from. This includes breakfast, midmorning meal, lunch, mid-afternoon snack, dinner and late-night meal pans.
Mike tops up the section on diet by pointing out that a healthy diet starts at the choices you make at the grocery store, for it is here that your six-pack abs goals can be defeated. He shows you how to avoid the pitfalls, which most of us are unaware of, that cause us to choose fat accumulating unhealthy foods rather than healthy ones.
It is only after dietary requirements are set in order that Truth About Abs comes up with its extensive section on effective abdomenal development through workouts and training.
But first, it shows you the bad exercises to avoid, using a physiological diagram to do so, and gives you the reasons for it. It also corrects some of the mis-conceptions about workouts for six-pack ab development- misconceptions such as that you need to workout for long periods everyday.
Instead, it suggests doing abdomenal workouts for 5-10 minutes alongwith your general full body training and that too, 3-4 times a week. There are some valuable nuggets here that revolutionize the way we go about our effort of acquiring six-pack abs.
The entire photo-illustrated section on exercises is particularly excellent since it enables the user to follow them at home or at the gym with ease. For doing it at home, you can get along with a set of dumbells and a stability ball. However, best results are gained if the facilities of a gym are used, the book says. To fully develop the abs to their potential, you need to train them with exercises that actually provide significant resistance, which can be done best in a gym.
Truth about Six Pack Abs provides the user with extensive and clearly explained abdomenal and full body exercises and workouts with additional killer abs and core exercises, which are a brilliant creation by the author.
Further, the exercises are laid out for application depending on your level of experience -beginner, intermediate or advanced. Similarly, the exercises are set out in levels, from level 1-8. In fact, the author guarantees that if you can complete all of the prescribed suggested sets of exercises in level 8, there is no way that you do not have a well developed set of six-pack abs!
A very unique aspect of the program, which probably accounts for its success, is the sequencing of diet and exercise to get the best fat loss and si pak ab results possible, changing the shape of your entire body. This sequencing is heard of in any other ab fat loss program on the market.
We were also impressed by the indepth information and exercises provided about acquiring six pack abs, indicating that most of what we've been told about getting six pack abs was nothing more than half-baked information.
The The Truth About Six Pack Abs program, however, requires effort and Mike is very clear about that. He does not offer you a magic pill, but instead takes you up the right and effective path to get rid of abdomenal fat and at the same time remain lean and fit for life. And if you do not see substantial results within 8 weeks, Mike is more than willing to give you a full refund.
Keep in mind that the point of this whole program is NOT abdominal exercises (that is only a portion of it). The main point of this program is showing you the absolute most effective strategies for losing your stubborn abdominal fat and aquiring si pak abs.
It is no wonder, then that Truth About Abs program has become a bestseller with a success rate of 98%, and iting that users swear by its effectiveness as the following user reviews reveal:
