• Answer:

  Well here it goes: 1. It is said that abs are made in the kitchen instead of in the gym. So taking that as an analogy, I will say that what and how you eat is crucial here. -Eat six times per day to speed up metabolism. Three main meals, and three healthy snacks (fruits mostly). -Eat breakfast early in the morning and never skip it. This is very important because it is known that metabolic rate goes down to 30% during the night, and if you eat light breakfast, or decide to skip it, your body will assume that there is more hunger like the one during the night, and shut down all systems through which you can loose fat. With these two practices you will set up the foundation to being more effective in workout and diet plan overall. - When it comes to diet, try this: eat foods that contain indole carbinol 3, compound found in cabbage, broccoli and kale. What this compound do is opening the beta receptors to your fat cells, so you lose more fat tissue overall. -Eating more protein also increases metabolic rate. - Eat meals centered around protein, fruits and vegetables. - Limit the fats only to monosaturated ones (olives, olive oil, peanuts, nuts, almonds...) 2. Now for the workout: - Try squats for the thighs, and do steps too. - as for the abdominal area try and build more muscles there, and the results will show up. Go with only one day dedicated only for abs. Meaning you will exercise the abs only one day per week, and give them rest the entire week ahead. That way you are promoting the most muscle growth. Remember muscles grow when they rest after the workout, not when we stress them. And it's proven that six to seven days rest is the best when it comes to that. - Another thing: after strength exercise for the abs, go and eat an orange before you eat the protein meal. What this does is making the protein synthesize better. - Also go for one spot fat reduction. It is done by working out one muscle group ( the abs in this case) and then going for low cardio. This shows the body where you want to burn the most fat. Hope this helps.
