Product Description

Review

"'A book that is readable, blokeish and funny... it's little wonder that The Abs Diet is selling like hot cakes.' The Independent"


Product Description

Most men want to flatten their stomachs - and here's how to do it, from the people who really know. "The Abs Diet" is a three-pronged attack on the abs for a flat stomach. It shows you how to lose weight through diet and exercise and how then to tone your muscles with specific abdominal exercises. The diet is straightforward and flexible, based on 12 'super-foods' that help promote weight loss, and on eating frequent small meals. The exercise plan is a whole-body strength-training programme combined with some interval training and, finally, there are 60 abdominal exercises to choose from so you can tailor the whole regime to meet your personal requirements.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical, sensible and a doddle to read, 23 Jan 2005
By Bondy (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Abs Diet: The Six Week Plan to Flatten Your Stomach and Keep You Lean for Life (Paperback)
Men's Health ran an article on this 'diet' a month-or-so ago and I began to adopt some of the principles of this book then; I felt better within a few days. Put simply, you can read this book cover-to-cover in a few hours and start making changes to your approach to food straight away - it's virtually hassle free.

The main principles in the book are focused on eating combinations of the twelve 'powerfoods' that are explained in detail, and eating regularly, six times a day. It's easy to scoff at that latter concept if you're a busy person (like me!), but I've managed to fit the snacks in and I think that this element of the programme is key. It's amazing how much better I feel without going for long periods of time minus food.

The book also provides clear information on the foods that are bad for us, and why some other diets aren't too good for us, as well. At no point is there any confusing science; it's all understandable. Menus, hassle-free recipes and a basic work-out programme are also included and these support the main ideology of the book well. Everything here is, again, easy to understand and, above all, attainable.

Nothing here is rocket science, which is a good thing, but for anyone looking for a straightforward way to making a positive change to their lifestyle, this is a good place to begin.

3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat disappointed, 5 April 2006
By lcollens "Liam" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
I am a regular reader of Men's Health and I have a monthly subscription to the magazine. I bought this book and its sister Abs Diet book and I can't help but be slightly disappointed. However, I think my disappointment stems from being a person who has lost a lot of weight already and I may have been treating the book as the final answer to the body image i am looking for. My disappointment may be limited to my expectations. Howver for someone who wants to lose weight in a sustainable way while working out at the same time, I would strongly recommend this book. It acts to explain and education about weight loss as well as propose recipes and workouts. It is ideal for the person with good intentions but cannot figure out how to do things. I would recommend it for someone who wants to lose a stone or change their body shape. It is not for people who want to bulk up. I would recommend getting both books in the Abs diet series together.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Advice, 3 Jul 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: The Abs Diet: The Six Week Plan to Flatten Your Stomach and Keep You Lean for Life (Paperback)
I have been trying for years to work my midsection into some type of firm body part and I have from time to time reaches those goals and this book has helped get me there faster this time around. The author gives practical advice on diet and food intake that almost everyone could follow. Exercises are basic and to the point.Not hard to follow, recommend "GI Diet, The Backsmart Fitness Plan", all three books helped me reach my goals in a short period of time.
