Living Better: Eating Your Way to a Six Pack

Yep, you heard me right - eating your way to a six pack. Arnold Schwarzenegger once said, "A six pack is made in the kitchen, not the gym". Of course, you're not going to get abs as per below if you don't engage in some form of exercise, but the single most important determining factor in obtaining a set of washboard abs is your diet. That's right brothers, your 6000 crunches a day routine isn't going to get you a six pack if you're not eating your way to a six pack. Now what is the basis behind such a preposterous claim? It's simple.Believe it or not, you already have the six pack of your dreams. You do, it's true. It's just (literally) in hiding, shielded from its glory by layers of fat. Thus, in order to reveal your six babies to the world,...

Living Better: A New Beginning

Your journey begins on an inquest into two things: what you're eating (surprise surprise) and how you're exercising.Before we begin, first and foremost, we need to be realistic about our expectations. I'm going to be honest with you - you probably aren't going to look like a Calvin Klein underwear model in 3 months from now. But, you definitely will look like the Calvin Klein underwear model version of yourself once we're through - if you have the desire and discipline to stick by these very simple guidelines. What you're eatingMost people hear the word "diet" and automatically think of "minimal food consumption". That's called a crash diet. A diet where you damn near stop eating and limit your food intake to sad things like watercress leaves...
