How to Get Ripped Abdominal Muscles By Dieting

By George Green

If you wish to get a set of ripped abs and get that sexy 6 pack look that we often see nowadays in magazines and on the television then you are going to need to get rid of that fat layer that lies over the abdominal muscles. It is this layer of fat that hides away those muscles and gives a flabby look.

Increasing the calories burned and reducing calorie intake is the best way to get rid of this fat layer. In this article I'm going to focus on reducing calorie intake so you will know how to get ripped fast.

You only need to look on the shelves in bookshops or in one of the many DVD shops to discover so many items about dieting. This can be very overwhelming. Reducing calorie intake, however, is what most of them come down to. The biggest problem a lot of people face however is keeping motivated and staying on the diet. To achieve your goal of getting rid of this layer of fat and keeping those sexy abs demands a change in lifestyle and more of a long term view.

How to stay motivated is the burning question though. I have found that the best way to achieve this is to set short-term goals and not look further than these short-term goals. The same can be said for many sporting disciplines including weight training.

Going out and lifting a huge weight straight up is not advisable. Instead it would be better to work up to it slowly. The best and safest approach would be to gradually increase the the amounted you lifted until finally after a number of weeks or months you would probably reach your ultimate goal. This can be applied to dieting.

I have that the most successful way would be to set a goal of around 4 pounds over a 1 month period of time to be the most successful. Now this may not sound a lot compared to those diets that claim you can lose fourteen pounds in a month. However, most of these products involve some form of crash dieting which can quickly make you lose motivation. They can also slow your metabolism making it difficult to lose further weight over the long term.

If you were to attain the goal of just four pounds a month in weight loss, that would be a massive forty eight pounds over a twelve month period. A sure fire way to get ripped. These small gains can easily add up into one large gain. To keep motivated, at the end of each month I reward myself and then set my goal and plans for the next month.

So if you are looking to get rid of fat or following a program to get a lean ripped body or just to look and feel more healthier and slimmer then a small gradually increasing regime is the fastest way to go. - 17269
