I know a lot of you out there are doing Atkins, and not sure what happened to the weight-loss thread, but Atkins is bad, and I'm finding out more about it.
Anyways, I saw this new way to eat and exercise called "The Abs Diet" from Men's Health, and it is great. I've researched some of it, asked some of the guys I know who are in good shape, and they all say this book is basically following the right ways to eat.
You can read about it on menshealth.com, and I reccommend you buy the book too. I just read it last night, and it's pretty freaking amazing how bad some things are for you.
This diet is great, and it's making me feel better alraedy. The guy actually says it's not really "a diet", but more of a way you should always eat...because it's the right way.
Lots of us are eating things we think are good, but they contain Trans Fat, which can kill you. This way of eating not only tells you about that, but has you eat things which make you healthier and live longer.
The fact that I'm eating spinach on my sandwhiches is a testament to this thing...the foods are just so good for you.
Almonds, oatmeal, eggs, fruits, berries, peanut butter, beans, protein, dairy...it's great.
It focuses on losing fat everywhere, but you'll lose a lot from the abs region, and will be able to work out and actually see a six-pack eventually. The fact is, having a six-pack looks good to women, etc., but it's also a symbol of being healthy, and a strong abdomen helps your entire body be stronger.
Anyways, it's very interesting, and it just feels like the right thing to do. If you guys want to check it out, look up that site, it's on the frontpage...also check out the forums.
I wouldn't mind doing this with some of you guys, and keeping track of our progress.
