In addition to the 12 Abs Diet Power Foods listed above, you'll be eating/drinking smoothies. Yogurt is strongly recommended on the Abs Diet, so yogurt-whey protein smoothies are encouraged a couple of times per day. They are healthy, fast, and appetite supressing, if you make them right. The philosophy behind this diet is the more you eat, the leaner you will be in the end - meal skippers lose weight and become deflated beach balls, and all day snackers get ripped.
Alcohol and diet sodas are discouraged on the Abs Diet, and low fat milk, green tea and lots of waste flushing water is encouraged. Not only will water help you feel full, but it will help flush out all of the protein you are building and breaking down, and keep other toxins flowing.
Exercise:
Exercise is optional in the first two weeks of the Abs Diet program. If you've already been exercising or dieting, it is best that you jump in and do it, but if you were previously a couch potato, here is your chance to dip your toes in the water before jumping in. Either way, you will only see better results if you do exercise. When you do exercise, you'll lift weights in circuit training. This means you'll lift weights on alternate parts of the body one after another, without resting. For example, you'll work your legs, then move to shoulders, and so on, for 8-10 exercises. You'll also do cardio regularly, and you'll focus on more intense workouts for less time.
