Six pack through weight watchers?


Question
I've been working on my abs. Some say that abs are determined by
reducing overall body fat percentage, and others say its "what you
eat".

I lost over 60 pounds with Weight Watchers and I love the diet. But I
REALLY want my six pack. I know I should drop maybe another ten pounds
or so, but I've been wondering now, can I still reduce my body fat and
get my six packs through weight watchers? Or do I need to eat/cut out
certain foods in order for that to happen AT ALL?



I have done many exercises on my abs and I possess a six pack underneath a small layer of fat because I can feel it and I can see the top part becoming visible. However I know that in order for the rest to become visible that fat needs to be eradicated.

However I have gotten mixed reviews from people I know and online sources as to how to acheive my goal.

However I am hoping that all I need to do now (after all of my toning) is to reduce my overall body fat. However do I also need to "elminate white bread, loads of pasta, soda, candy,fast food, hydronated oils, sugars and fructose corn syrup. Instead,replace them with foods that will help you reach your goal: olive oil,whole grain breads, fruits, vegetables, nuts, peanut butter, chicken, fish, protein and water."? Do I need to do this.....?


OOOR can I continue with my weight watchers plan (where foods are not restricted as long as you do portion control), a plan in which I have already lost 60 pounds off of and that I immensely prefer and am comfortable with?

I would prefer the latter, considering that weight watchers is such a safe and sensible diet but I AM prepared to make the sacrifice if this is only possible through the first however. I would love your feedback considering your obvious expertise on the subject.  

Answer
As long as you eat enough protein, then it doesn't matter what diet you follow. Try to include a variety of protein sources-not just meat, but eggs, dairy, soy, and beans.

The other suggestion I have for you is to buy a body fat scale. These scales usually cost $50-$100 and they measure your percent body fat using a gentle, safe electric current (because fat is an electrical insulator, but muscle is an electrical conductor). Generally, a man should never have less than about 7 percent body fat without putting your health in danger.

And finally, I just want to remind you that the bodybuilders and models that you see on TV aren't real-all of those guys are digitally enhanced. Those extremely cut abs just don't exist in nature... there will always be a little bit of covering over your six-pack.
