How To Get Six Pack Abs In 4 Easy Steps

Believe it or not, but getting your own ripped set of six pack abs is rather easy. You can indeed get ripped abs without drastic diets, blend foods and hours of exercise. There is the extreme way to do it (which is everywhere you look) and there is a much easier, laid back approach. If you wish to take the easy road, follow these 4 steps.

1. EAT LESS FOOD

Forget the notion that certain foods make you fat, because they don’t. Too much food makes you fat. You can lose weight eating nothing but ice cream if it were less than your body needed a day.

The bottom line to successfully lose fat and reveal your six pack abs, is to eat slightly less total calories a day then you need. Forget, counting carbohydrates, making sure you eat enough protein and start eating whatever you want. All you should be worried about is your total calorie intake.

Wouldn’t this make it easier to stick to long enough to see an impressive change in your physique?

Now a rough guide is that your maintenance is 15-16 times your bodyweight in pounds. So for instance a 200 pound man would need 3000-3200 calories a day. Subtract 500 calories from this number and that is your daily calorie goal for fat loss. If you cut calories any more than this you will destroy your metabolism and only make it harder to lose fat.

2. EXERCISE

There is a lot of debate over what exercise is the best. As long as you do something for 20-30 minutes a day, you will see results. What I recommend is 20 minutes of challenging exercise 3-5 times a week. This could be anything from swimming, running, boxing, cycling whatever. Just make sure you get out of your comfort zone. Also, you should try to do at least 1 strength training session a week. This is great for keeping your metabolism high, making it a lot easier to burn fat.

3. MEAL OFF ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK

For 1-2 meals a week, eat as much as you want of anything you want. This works for 2 reasons. Firstly, it helps keep your cravings in check. This will inturn make it easier to stick to for a longer period of time. And secondly, they actually help burn fat faster. They give our metabolism a much needed boost as it starts to slow down after a few days of low calorie eating.

Slowing your metabolism down will make it next to impossible to get six pack abs. So if you want six pack abs, you should overindulge occasionally to keep your metabolism running at full speed.

4. CONSISTENCY

Consistency is the key. You will never see your six pack abs, if you lack consistency. To see your six pack abs, you simply have to lose enough body fat that is covering up. Everyone already has a set of abs, problem is most of us have a layer of fat hiding them.

This is why most diets don’t work. They are simply too hard for us to maintain any sort of consistency.

Just remember that all you have to do eat slightly less calories than your maintenance for an extended period of time and you’ll eventually have your own set of six pack abs.

So to be consistent I recommend you eat more food, eat the foods you enjoy, have the occasional splurge and do exercises you enjoy. This will make it a lot easier to fit into your lifestyle, and maintain consistency for much longer.


Follow these 4 steps consistently and the fat will just melt off your body and reveal the hot six pack abs you are after. Good Luck!
