Is it possible to get six pack abs with bad nutrition?
There are two main reasons why people have trouble getting six pack abs. The first reason is that people just don't pay any attention at all to their diet. The old saying that 'abs are made in the kitchen', is probably one of the most truthful statements in the fitness industry. and the other problem is that you need to change your ab programs frequently to avoid muscle adaptation, repetitive pattern overload injury, muscle imbalance and of course, boredom!
Tips about dieting
Protein is a very important factor because proteins are the main building blocks for developing muscle tissue. Your body also burns more calories breaking down protein then compared to carbs and fats. The more calories we burn the more fat we burn.
Dietary fat such as olive oils, fish oils, a mix of nuts, natural peanut butter and avocado are also very important for several reasons. Although fat will increase your calories but if you keep it between 20-30% it can be one of the best things to get 6 pack abs. Dietary fat will keep you feeling the fullest for the longest duration in time. Don´t exclude dietary fats from your diets.
Focus most of your carbohydrate intake around the post workout period. I you that then it is least likely that they will turn into body fat. Consuming carbohydrates during this period will also help to aid with muscle recovery and repair.
Tips for your ab program
The abs are a very complex part of your body. That means to make your abs stronger and better you need to do a wide variety of exercises. Most people only do crunches and sit-ups, but doing only those exercises is a very big mistake. If you ab program consists of only a handful of exercises then your body quickly adapts to it and that will lead to progress plateaus.
You do not engage all the functions of the core region then the result is muscle weakness, muscle imbalances, injuries, a distended lower abdominal area and or and a not so impressive midsection. You need to train every muscle in your core region from every dimension.
