Dear Online Reader:Now that the trees are as bare as Carmen Electra in an exercise video, we thought you might need some leafy greens. Abs Diet PowerFoods like spinach and other green vegetables are packed with important nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin C, fiber, and folate. Just one serving can give you a full day's supply of vitamins that are crucial to your overall health. Without some form

Dear Online Reader:Don't own dumbbells and the Olsen twins aren't around? You can still work out -- weights or no weights. You don't always need dumbbells to create a ripped physique. Once in awhile, it's okay to substitute your Abs Diet workout with body-weight resistance exercises like pushups, squats and split hops. We know sometimes you can't get access to weights because you're stuck in a

Dear Online Reader:Most times, we can't keep from dipping our fingers into the frosting, but this time of year, we're pawing around in the kid's Halloween bag. A Snickers here, a Milky Way there -- it all adds up until you fall off the wagon. Yes, nuts are included in the Abs Diet -- but not when they're covered in chocolate and caramel. And a Milky Way doesn't count toward dairy either. Berry

Dear Online Reader:As the weather grows cooler, we put on more layers than an Abercrombie and Fitch model -- t-shirts under dress shirts, under sweaters, under coats. But what we don't want to put on is a layer of fat around our middle. That's why The Abs Diet provides you with new abs workouts that will help you burn fat to get rid of that stubborn roll. While strutting around half-naked on the

Dear Online Reader:On the Abs Diet, we want you to eat turkey and other lean meats. But that doesn't mean you can eat the whole turkey. Dark meat contains as much saturated fat as Peter Griffin’s two chins. Think breast meat -- but not for too long or you'll get your Victoria’s Secret catalog taken away. Lean meat is an integral part of the Abs Diet because it contains more muscle-building

Dear Online Reader:Weekends were made for taking a break, but that doesn't mean you should spend all of it getting horizontal with the sofa and watching 24 episodes of "Law and Order." The Abs Diet tells you to do 3 days of exercise and eat one cheat meal per week. Use Saturday and Sunday to bring a variety of activities into your workout schedule. Skip the weekday gym session, and go outside

Dear Online Reader:Imagine a workout that delivers maximum results but only lasts a few minutes. No, not the one that involves a rocking bed and tangled sheets -- we're talking 5-minute muscle-building circuits that make your muscles pop. When your Abs Diet circuit time gets sliced and diced due to life's interruptions -- overtime, sick kids, or a leaky roof -- there's a way to slip in the

Dear Online Reader:You shouldn't have sleepless nights, unless you're up rocking the baby so Britney can get her beauty sleep. The Abs Diet can help improve your sleep because workouts like the Abs Diet circuit and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) relieve the stress that's often to blame for keeping us up at night. Some Abs Diet power foods -- like milk, whey protein, part-skim cheese, and

Dear Online Reader:The Abs Diet is for guys who want to lose their gut so they can look like the gardener on Desperate Housewives . But it can also help guys who are so scrawny they can fit into Teri Hatcher's jeans. The Abs Diet works for both body types--the brawny and the scrawny--because it's based around eating more protein and building muscle. Protein can aid weight loss by making you feel

Dear Online Reader:You don't have to be a Hollywood A-lister to use Pilates. In fact, it has lots of advantages for men-- women in spandex, flexible moves you can use between the sheets, and a tighter core. Pilates workouts were initially designed to help heal injured World War I soldiers, and the Detroit Lions' strength coach makes his team do them every week. You can benefit by incorporating

Dear Online Reader:Cheaters never prosper. Look at Jude Law poking around with his nanny or the guy in the weight room using momentum to "lift" weights. Jude's still stuck in the doghouse and the cheating weightlifter still flexes biceps the size of peanuts. So stop wasting your time at the gym. If you're going to go easy on yourself--do it with perfect form. Remember, the lighter the load, the

Dear Online Reader:Even though the days of baring our well-built bellies--and gawking at what’s in soaking wet swimsuits--are over, that doesn't mean you can eat pot roast with gravy for breakfast. Resist the urge to fall behind now that summer's over. In the fall, most of our calories come in the form of beer on Monday nights, tailgating sausages on Saturday afternoon, and sneaking M & M’s from

Dear Online Reader:Growing up, seeing a bowl was like seeing an R-rated movie. You just knew you were in for something good. In the case of the bowl, it was ice cream, Trix, or Spaghetti-Os. But the only problem with the foods we so adoringly associate with scooping and slurping can be as bad for our bellies as a well-aimed AK-47. That's because they're usually filled with ingredients like

Dear Online Reader:To some, inner strength is the courage to jump in flooding waters to save a stranded motorist or the fortitude to will away stress or the faith to see the good side in bad people. But when you're working out, inner strength is defined by a strong group of abdominal muscles. That's because your core isn't just made up of the visible 6-pack muscles; they're made up of all kinds

Dear Online Reader:No doubt, fitness is high-tech. There are rock-climbing-wall treadmills. There are watches that can measure the distance we've run and the calories we've burned. And every other week at the gym, there's a new piece of equipment that looks like it belongs on the Space Shuttle. But for those who prefer old school, then there's no reason why you can't stay low-tech in your

Dear Online Reader:There's no doubt that you're pulled in more directions than the only piece of gum on an elementary school playground. We know what it's like to have a terrible strain on your time between work, home, and trying to catch up with Stuart Scott every night. But the last thing you should sacrifice--not the first thing--is your workout. Exercise is the magic bullet to the Abs Diet;

Dear Online Reader:If you believe everything you hear, fiber has more knocks against it than Jenna Jameson's bedroom door. It's for old people. It's in food that has the taste appeal of a desk calendar. You can only get it at breakfast. False, false, false. There are plenty of great-tasting foods that have fiber--an essential part of the Abs Diet for its ability to fill you up and move food

Dear Online Reader:Back in the day, our ancestors didn't have such fine-dining luxuries as forks, napkins, and champagne flutes. But you know what they also didn't have? Icing, Doritos, nacho cheese, and gummy worms. They ate the foods they were supposed to (be it, using a spear and their fingers). Many of today's foods are pumped full of artificial ingredients designed to make things taste, well

Dear Online Reader:We love routines--when they're performed by Miami Heat dancers. But when it comes to just about everything else, routine is death. Routine is predictable. Routine is boring. Routine makes us complacent. And you know what? Your body feels the same way. Oh, sure it likes routine when it comes to sleep, sex, and toilet time. But your muscles simply don't respond if you're doing

Dear Online Reader:This time of year, you're probably outside a lot--surfing the waves, hiking the trails, shooting some hoops, washing the car, mowing the grass, whacking the weeds, rubbing in the lotion, carrying the cooler. And your body thanks you for it. Being active--in whatever form you prefer--will help you stay lean and strong. While it's important to build metabolism-boosting muscle

Dear Online Reader:When you come right down to it, we all know that the best green food comes in a waffle cone and has chocolate chips in it. But if you want to lose weight, build muscle, and become a heck of a lot healthier, then you have to fill your meals with Abs Diet power foods that include the other green foods--the ones like spinach, broccoli, celery, and edamame. Those are the kinds of

Dear Online Reader:Listening to the great successes that so many of people have had on the Abs Diet, we not only hear about all of the changes in size and attitude. But when we talk to the people who've built new bodies, we also hear one important thing: They want to start putting their leaner and healthier bodies to good use. So they run, they play basketball, they enter triathlons, they have

Dear Online Reader:Nutrition truth 1: Salads are good. Nutrition truth 2: Many of the salads you order have the nutritional equivalent of the inside of a liposuction tube. Between the taco shells, goopy dressings, potato salad, croutons, and so many other toppings, you’re almost better off with a bacon-double pepperoni burger than a restaurant-prepared salad (we said, almost). On the Abs Diet,

Dear Online Reader:You don't have to be Anna Nicole Smith to know what it feels like to squeeze in something. For you, your challenge is to squeeze in as fast a workout as possible. The Abs Diet circuit allows you to work all of your muscles in less than 20 minutes--in a metabolism-boosting, fat-burning, muscle-adding kind of way. But if your schedule is even tighter, then try this three-move

Dear Online Reader:Lower backs are like former child TV stars. Most people tend to forget about them--until the moment something goes terribly wrong with them. But with the Abs Diet, you'll pay special attention to your lower back--because it's a fundamental part of your entire core. Having a strong lower back not only improves your posture and helps prevent injury, but it also helps support and

Dear Online Reader:This time of year, you probably spend more time on the road than a crushed squirrel. When it comes to working out, that can be a problem. It's hard to squeeze in workouts when you're tempted by lazy days on the beach or bellying up to the hotel bar. Sure, we want your vacation to take you away--away from your office, away from your stress, away from your Celebrity Fit Club
