Abs are made in the kitchen!

There are so many articles on the internet, books about 'how to get abs', 'how to get more defined body' etc... But we still wonder why there are so many people suffering from hard workouts in the gyms and getting no result for YEARS. Of course, work with your mind is initial thing: but today we will talk about physical conditions of getting abs.

There are no top secrets.

The formula for the great body shape is very simple:

You will probably say: 'Yeah, I know it.' 

I bet you do.

But let's be honest: do you really do some efforts to take care of the beauty of your body on the everyday basis?

So here some simple tips from me to keep your body in good shape (and finally to define your abs!):

1. Drink water.

There is no need to say why we should drink more water. I want just to remind it. 

2. Add more fresh veggies. 
Nature is the best doctor: vegetables are full of vitamins, fiber, low on calories and always tasty. Your abs will adore such meals. And fresh mix salads look so beautiful! (when I took this picture I thought about how nature inspires us creating so photogenic foods...)

3. More, more greens!

Green leafy veggies are the only food that helps you with metabolism more than any other! For example, greens help with improving digestive health, balancing cholesterol levels, maintaining weak eyesight, boost your energy...etc, etc. There is no need to say arguments to defend green veggies.

4. Don't forget about good sugars.

Here is the thing: if you don't get enough carbs, your body switches into the 'saving energy mode' and you can face the effect of the weight-loss plateau when your metabolism slows down. Fruits, berries are essential. We need sweet taste same as others. So better eat some juicy fruits than another chocolate!

5. Be sure you eat enough or you don't over-consume (under-consume) your daily calories.

We always undervalue what we eat and overvalue calories that we burn: Snickers bar of 50 g is 500 calories and at the same time it's equal to 1 hour or running is pretty much also 500 calories (hard to believe right?). After one hour of intense cardio you feel exhausted; after eating one Snickers you could eat some more... We often overvalue what we burn and undervalue what we eat.

Here can be the opposite situation (it often happens to me): you workout very intense, live an active life, walk a lot, and don't eat enough. I hate counting calories or measure my food, but I strongly advise you to make your own 'scientific research' for one-two weeks. During this time:

1) Listen to your body, 

2) Measure your food, 

3) Look at the mirror, think about how your food affects your mind and body changes.

Believe me, these two weeks spent in learning your body are worth it! Try and write in the comments.
