Beautiful abs don’t start in the gym. They begin right at the table where you take your meals.

The majority of individuals who dream of that alluring tight-ab appearance know that they will never ever reach it by scarfing down lousy food or pigging out at every meal. Guzzling down a six pack of beer cannot result in six-pack abs!

Diet is essential to achieving the goal of a chiseled abdomen, but few people, relatively speaking, understand this fact.

The abdominal muscles are there, waiting to be discovered beneath the belly fat. Lost the flab and you’re at least halfway to success, maybe more. When you do that, then you can start to concentrate on working your abs to bring out their optimal definition.

If you wish to lose weight and tone your body, especially around the middle, I particularly suggest the “caveman” diets that are the big thing now. Quite possibly you have heard about the “primal” or “paleo” diets that are much talked about in health and fitness circles.

The basic concept behind these plans is that, to eat healthily, we should try to emulate the diet that our ancestors enjoyed. This means meat, vegetables, some fruit, and nuts, for the most part. Without question, for most of us, this means getting the grains out of our diets as much as possible.

Johnny-come-latelys to people’s diet historically (and prehistorically) speaking, grains are not processed very well by most folks. They drive up our levels of insulin. This in turn results in obesity and other deleterious conditions. No more bread, cereal, spaghetti, etc — that is, if you are really serious about improving your health as well as firming up those abs.

There’s a 59-year-old man I know who embarked on one of these primitive diets starting just five or six months ago. He has lost around 15 pounds, but what is particularly impressive, his tummy area is starting to show the distinctive outlines of those underlying ab muscles. He achieved this remarkable feat almost entirely by altering his eating habits.

Now that that gentleman has begun to add exercises to his daily routine, I expect that he’ll soon have a chiseled abdomen that many thirty-year-olds would envy.

Washboard abs can be yours. Keep in mind: They start at the dinner table. Therefore, you should take an honest look at what you are eating, then commit to changing if need be.
