Despite the many claims out there, in my opinion, there really is no "super food" that's going to do this for you. As Karin suggests, hard work, eating right (aka healthy), and consistency is the real "recipe" for you.

I hope this helps.

I have never understood the glamour that goes behind a six pack. Seasoned experts know that there is no such thing as "spot reducing", we also know that "crunches" won't give you a six pack, nor will eating a certain food.....

You can't "get a six pack" except for at the grocery store.

Abs are made in the kitchen. Good, clean, whole foods are super important, in addition to your routine. Cook at home and find ways to cook clean and eat clean. I can't promise a "six pack" but this is better for you anyway!

Oh, wouldn't it be nice if there was such a thing.

It is just that: a solid routine, hard work and clean food with sufficient protein to induce your body to build muscle. Not too much of it, though, so that the six pack (which you already have) is not concealed under a layer of body fat.

My clients are asking me similar questions every time I come back from the IDEA convention, hoping against hope, that there is some new scientific breakthrough that will help.

But at least take solace that, as a guy, you have a much greater chance to actually see your abs in the way you want.

Just keep up the hard work.

Gus, I must concur with the above statements.

I'd like to add that genetics also play a part. we all carry adipose tissue differently.
