I don’t often write reviews, but I’ve made an exception in this case. I believe there is more than just hype to the well known abs program ‘The Truth About Abs’. Most ‘lose fat’ information on the web tends to be just a lot of sales copy in front of a gimmicky product or crash diet. The reason I want you to read this whole article is so you can see that there is actually some solid information in this plan, and if followed will change your success with your get fit and stay fit endeavors.
The e-book “The Truth About Abs” that Mike Geary has written is more than a guide to getting ripped abs – since the abs are only a small part of the whole picture. This is an easy to follow program that will help you change your eating habits and patterns, and give you exercise routines to boost your metabolism and build core strength and lean muscle. The book covers 3 main topics -
1. An introduction to the program, and general information on what it means to be lean, body fat percentage, what effective abs training is, metabolism, and lean body mass.
2. Full workouts, how to exercise more efficiently, explanation of multi-joint vs single joint exercises, along with total body work outs. Mike also explains why cardio IS NOT helping you lose weight the way you’ve always been told; and
3. Information on diet and nutrition, details about insulin and blood sugar, the Glycemic Index and how it affects your diet program, and food’s thermic effect – ie calorie burning properties.
The workout schedules are easy to follow and don’t take up much of your time. The Truth About Abs training program is broken down into two sections that include Interval training and Resistance and Weight training. Mike suggests that anything longer then 45-60 minutes per session is not a good use of your time. He breaks down his training program into 45-60 minute session, 3-4 times per week.
If you are serious about getting a toned body then this schedule should easily fit into your week. You don’t need to be a member at a fancy gym and you don’t really need to have equipment at home. However, Mike suggests having an exercise ball and set of dumb bells at home to most effectively perform the suggested workouts. This basic equipment can easily be purchased for 30-40 dollars and will be worth every penny.
There is a huge amount of nutrition advice that Mike has included in this program. The suggested diet plan calls for 5-6 smaller meals per day, eating every 3 hours (not including sleeping hours). An important tip is to plan your meals for an entire week, and shop once a week getting only the food you need for those meals.
Beyond planned, smaller and more frequent meals The Truth About Abs explains how to calculate your daily caloric intake requirements, and use that as a guide line for what we should eat. This section is really enlightening. You can eat regular and tasty meals and still lose weight. I can assure you that this is not a salad diet. In fact, there is an entire section of this book which explains why crash diets actually cause weight gain.
Mike provides meal plans that are easy to shop for, easy to make and very satisfying. These meal plans provide you with more than enough food and you are unlikely to experience any hunger pains. However, you need to be disciplined with yourself and follow the recommended diet plans. One of the first things the book says is: “The nutrition section of this book is vitally important to your success. Let me state this loud and clear… if all you focus on is your training, and your diet is full of junk, you WILL NOT see results! You need to apply BOTH the training strategies as well as the nutrition strategies if you want to make this work.”
If you’ve been thinking of trying to lose weight for some time now, this is a great opportunity to make it happen. Mikes program contains so much information about how to really make your exercise and diet work together, it really is one of the most effective programs available today. You must put some effort in, but he tells you how to make it all work, in the most effective way possible.
