Six-Pack Abs for women is now becoming a trend. Many women are now thinking about not only losing weight but, building a sexy, sporty looking body that includes a 'Six-Pack'.
Some women still believe that this is a 'Guy Thing' and shy away, others are scared of developing a body that is too bulky. A body that looks too masculine. What these women need to realise is that no matter how much training they put in, it is almost impossible to achieve bulky muscles unless they have high levels of testosterone. Women who are bulky have either high levels of testosterone or take strong, 'Additives'.
Dietary Preparation
The formula for a women wanting to carve out a solid six-pack is through a nutritionally well balanced diet. The diet must provide enough energy for growth and sustenance.
The diet should include a proper list of foods that are spread out over the day. They need to follow the tips below if they really want to get that six-pack, 'Just Ripped' look and build those muscles in record time!
1. Your diet should ensure that you eat at least six times per day every day. This rule should not be broken as it will ensure that you have the energy to lift those heavy weights. It also helps to stabilise your blood sugar levels which will keep your cravings at bay whilst maximising your metabolism and energy. You will be constantly feeding your muscles the proteins that they need.
2. Proteins are needed to build muscle so your diet should contain enough protein. Getting your protein intake right is paramount to building a rock hard six-pack that you can be proud of. You need to know how much you weigh so that you can calculate how many proteins should be in your diet plan. The equation is 1.2 times your total body weight. This total is the amount of protein in grams that you should consume on a daily basis.
3. It is important that you also eat the right type and amounts of carbohydrates. If you are deadly serious about training for a six-pack, carbs' are very important as they supply your body with the energy that your body needs. Again there is a mathematical equation for this. You need to multiply your lean body mass by 0.8, the total is how many carbs' you need in grams on a daily basis. You need to be ultra careful when it comes to carbs as you have to lose body fat at the same time. If you do not lose fat and get your body fat below 10% you will never be able to put your own six-pack on display as it will always be covered by your own body fat. So, brown rice, oatmeal and similar are the order of the day.
4. You should also include vegetables with your diet. Green leafy vegetables such as broccoli, green beans and lettuce are ideal. Vegetables can aid your metabolism which will make the absorption of proteins easier and faster. Adding tomatoes to your diet will also help to get rid of any cellulite that you may have.
