Six-Pack Made Simple
Understand What a “Six-Pack” Really Is
Abdominal muscle: can be strengthened with specific exercises.
Abdominal fat: covers the muscles; even with strong abs, it needs to be reduced to show.
In other words, it’s not just about doing crunches all day.
Strategic Nutrition
Moderate calorie deficit: burning more energy than you consume helps reduce fat.
Enough protein: eggs, chicken, fish, tofu — preserves muscle.
Healthy carbs and fats: provide energy for workouts and support hormones.
Avoid ultra-processed foods: reduce inflammation and belly fat.
Tip: small daily adjustments add up much more than extreme diets.
Smart Training
Strength training: maintains and builds muscle mass, boosts metabolism.
Ab exercises: planks, crunches, leg raises — strengthen the core.
Moderate cardio or HIIT: helps burn fat, but don’t overdo it.
The secret: combine strength + cardio + core, not just isolated abs.
Sleep and Hormones
Sleeping 7–9 hours regulates cortisol, leptin, and ghrelin — hormones that control hunger and fat storage.
Without sleep, even with diet and training, belly fat tends to remain.
