WHAT'S KEEPING YOUR ABS HIDDEN?       

A few days ago, I sent you the interview which discussed various  
training aspects to consider for stripping off stubborn belly fat and  
uncovering those six pack abs that everyone wants.

Today, I have the rest of the interview with Abs-Expert Mike Geary  
dealing with the best nutrition secrets to apply if you want to have  
any chance of getting lean enough to see visible abs on yourself...

CB: And finally Mike, 1 or 2 of your top secret nutrition tips
for losing 
 body fat to carve out those abs. Open your vault
of info!

MG: Well Craig, I think you'd agree that there has never been a more  
confusing time regarding proper nutrition for consumers. Every so  
called "expert" out there seems to disagree and contradict each other  
on what's the best way to eat for fat loss and overall good health.

One of the most important messages I try to teach my readers in this  
world of heavy confusion is that your diet doesn't need to conform to  
any of the fad diets... you don't need to go "low carb" or "low fat", or  
high or low anything for that matter to be successful in losing enough  
body fat to get lean enough to be able to see your abs.

I like to try to simplify things for my readers. I think that balance is the  
key to success along with eating a diet that is made up of nutrient  
dense foods in their natural state (as unprocessed as possible).

In general, it is the heavy processing of foods that makes it wreak  
havoc inside our bodies. Most foods in their natural unprocessed  
state are inherently good for us. Of course there are always exceptions 
... a salad of poison ivy leaves is "natural and unprocessed" but  
certainly would not be good for us!

I'll leave your readers with a couple of the most important aspects  
of nutrition that help to get you lean for life...

1. Get enough quality protein in the daily diet - not only does it have  
a higher thermic effect than carbs and fat (so you burn more calories  
digesting it), but it also creates satiety so your hunger is satisfied longer.  
Plus it's a building block for maintaining and building lean muscle...  
And remember that the amount of lean muscle you carry is one of the  
main factors for controlling your metabolism.

2. Think fiber! When it comes to carbs, make sure that almost all of  
your carbohydrate intake is from higher fiber sources like vegetables,  
fruits, and high fiber unrefined grains. Try to avoid refined sugars and  
refined grains as that is one of the main reasons so many people  
struggle with body fat.

I personally don't eat many grains as I prefer to get most of my carbs  
from veggies and fruits, but I'll admit I am a bit of a fan of sprouted  
grains. I generally recommend looking for carbohydrate sources that  
have at least 2-3 grams of fiber per each 10 grams of total carbs.  
Remember that fiber helps fill you up and also slows down the glycemic  
response of the foods you eat, all beneficial for getting super lean.

3. Don't be afraid to eat fat! Many people try to go way too low  
on their fat intake and this can negatively affect hormone levels in  
your body as well as causing more cravings. Try to eat enough healthy
fats daily.

Good sources are all nuts and seeds, nut butters, avocados, olive
oil, organic meats and eggs, coconuts and virgin coconut oil. On that
note, saturated fats from tropical oils are VERY misunderstood, even
by many nutritionists and other health professionals. Yes they are
composed highly of saturated fats, but are actually beneficial
(but that's way beyond the scope of this article).

4. Avoid the two worst things in our food supply at ALL COSTS:

*artificial trans fats from margarines, shortening, and hydrogenated
oils that are in most processed foods and deep fried foods

*high fructose corn syrup, which is in almost all sweetened
products on the market

Again, if you avoid processed foods, it becomes easy to avoid these
two worst offenders in our food supply.

I always contend that once you get a handle on these 4 main points
of your diet detailed above, the rest starts to take care of itself as
you gain control over your appetite, blood sugar levels, hormone levels,
etc. It all falls into place, and you eventually gain total control over
how lean you want to get.

CB: Thanks Mike!
