At first, Mike Geary's claim of being the honest source on six pack abs seems to be one of those which you take with a pinch of salt. Everyone makes those claims. That is, till you actually get hold of his Truth About Six Pack Abs 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.
This comprehensive 149-page guide is focused on clearing up all the misinformation and confusion about six pack abs and to give every reader a step-by-step guide to follow to bring out hidden 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.
Unlike all other six-pack abs programs, which largely harp on providing the reader with various exercises to reduce abdomenal fat, Truth About Abs extensively deals with all the three components of acquiring ripped, rock hard six-pack abs: right mind set, right diet and correct exercises.
Justifiably, Mike first deals with the mindset first, rightly arguing that it is the starting point for the entire effort, pointing out that the #1 reason you do not succeed is because of procrastination, laziness, and poor mental attitude. He prepares you for the effort by imparting the user with the kind of mindest it requires to achieve success at acquiring six-pack abs. This includes deciding what you want, how badly you want it, appropriating a burning desire to succeed, setting goals, taking action etc.
Having got past the mind, one would expect that Mike would get you onto the exercises that burn abdomenal fat and bring out your hidden abs, since this is what other programs do first, and also since we have been led to believe that acquiring six-packs is all about exercises and abdomenal crunches.
No says, Mike. Diet comes before exercise, arguing that nutrition is
far more important than training to lose your stubborn stomach fat and get those six pack abs. 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.
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 work with. 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 unhealthy foods rather than healthy ones.
It is only after these two componenets - mind and diet - are put on the rquired track for effectively gaining six-pack abs that Truth About Abs comes up with its extensive section on effective six-pack abs 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 valuable exercises here not found anywhere else that revolutionize the way we go about our effort of acquiring six-pack abs.
The entire photo-illustrated section on exercise can be followed either at home or at the gym. 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, the book points out, which can be done best in a gym.
Truth about Six Pack Abs then adds to these 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.
It is no wonder, then that Truth About Abs program has become a bestseller with a success rate of 98%, and that users swear by its effectiveness:
