Truth About Abs Review
Lets get one thing straight from the start. The Truth About Six Pack Abs is not just a book about getting great looking Abs, but it is also a detailed guide on how to lose stomach fat which will ultimately lead to you getting great sexy looking abs, if that's what you want to do.
So, if your objective is to get rid of that 'hard to shift stomach fat' then Truth About Abs is only one of a few books that I now recommend which will show you in precise detail how to burn belly fat, and keep it off long-term!
You can also get Truth About Abs for Women and Truth About Abs for Men.
Truth About Abs is one of a number of books which have come out in the last few years which deal with 'fat loss' and not 'weight loss'. This is a very important distinction as most of the programs promoted in the diet industry concentrate so much on weight loss which is not what you should work on long term as it will only result in yo-yo dieting and 'too much' water and muscle loss.
Truth About Abs is a highly successful program with over 250,000 devotees in over 150 different countries. One of the reasons for its success is that it concentrates on 'fat loss' and its amazing results are achieved through a mixture of Resistance Training and proper nutrition.
In depth details
I don't want to get too tehnical about the program but Mike Geary explains how your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) and how you improve it through various types of Weight Resistance training and High Intensity Interval Training. Plus proper nutrition will eventually lead you to shed those unwanted pounds of fat around your stomach, thighs and hips.
And the exercises are designed for both women and men. This is key as most women hate the idea of fat loss programs that use weights. Weights to a lot of women mean putting on muscle which does not feminine but rest assured, if you are a woman, you will not be putting on unsightly muscle with this program. In fact you will end up being very toned due to the balanced workouts.
What really stands out for me with Truth About Abs is that it comes complete with a detailed set of pictures to show you how each exercise should be performed correctly. This is also coupled with a written explanation. This is completely different to Burn The Fat which doesn't have any pictures to help explain the exercises in that program.
What about nutrition?
Mike covers this in great detail and given that he is also a nutritionist you can rest assured he knows what he is talking about. He goes through lots of 'food myths' and explains why certain foods are just plain wrong when it comes to long term fat loss. PLUS, he also includes a number of surprise foods which actually help to shed the fat pounds even quicker. And I bet you already have these foods sitting idle in your food cupboard.
He also details example 7-day eating plans which detail all the foods you need to eat in order to accelerate the fat loss and keep it off. And along with delicious recipes he covers this whole area in great detail and is very easy to follow.
Who will benefit most from Truth About Abs?
In the broadest sense, anyone and everyone who needs to lose fat will benefit from this program. Men, women, bodybuilders, fitness enthusiasts, and especially motivated individuals will certainly benfit the most from this book.
Plus, it is suitable for men and women of all ages and you only need to take a look at some of the pictures on the testimonial pages to see the actual results from real people who have followed the program from beginning to end. These are very inspirational in helping to motivate you to get started and more importantly helping to keep you focussed on your final target, which is to shed that unwanted stomach fat and have you looking great in the mirror once again.
And in Conclusion..
Like I've said on my other fat loss program reviews, Truth About Abs requires a fair deal of work. You will need to stick with the training plan and adhere to the advice given in the daily nutrition plans to ensure you make the most from the program.
However, the results from this fat loss program are second to none and I must stress that if it's long term fat loss you are after then you must use a program like Truth About Abs. It promotes the building of lean muscle mass which is the only way to improve your resting metabolic rate which in turn boosts your fat loss. That is scientific fact and is unfortunately what the majority of all those other 'fad' weight loss programs never tell you about.
Ultimately I give Truth About Abs a 4-Star Rating because it is straightforward and easy to follow. Mike Geary goes to great lengths to explain how our bodies work they way they do and why and how we can only lose fat by doing the right type of training and feeding our body the right nutrition.
The reason it does not get my 5-Star Rating is because some of the exercise routines can only be performed in a gym, and for those of us who are strapped for cash and don't want to pay for a gym then this could be an issue. However, I'm sure Mike could suggest some alternative exercises if you got in touch with him.
