Fast Abs Tip
Sit down and eat your food slowly!! Just like mom used to say.
Eating slowly actually causes your body to satiate or feel full sooner and with less food. Eating to quickly can override this chemical reaction causing you to ingest too much food. Also eating foods high in fiber can slow the process by causing you to chew more and creating additional chemical reactions.
Fruits, Vegetables, Nuts, and Lean Meats are all great sources of fiber which take time to chew and will cause you to feel full with less caloric intake. When creating a great ab work out program you can’t forget how important food is.
So what does this say about liquids with a caloric value – stay away!! The occasional protein shake between meals (with very low if any carbs) are the exception. Eat your calories – drink your water, your body will thank you. Liquid calories in soda and juice are some of the most commonly underestimated when calculating daily caloric intake. You need to be especially careful to take into consideration what they consider a serving. I have looked at the label numerous times and thought – “Wow that’s not that bad” then I realized that one can was 2 or more servings. Sneaky.
So… Eat your food slowly – and don’t drink your calories. You are already on your way to fast abs and being the first one to strip down to your bathing suit (or less) at the next pool party.
