- This challenge encourages you to submit before and after pictures at the END of the challenge. The photos should capture the area of focus– from your mid-chest to just below hips is about perfect.

As promised, here’s a STRICT diet to help you reveal your ABS!
“FAB ABS” Diet :
A lot of results can happen in just 28 days of working out but if you really want to get results you need to FOCUS on your diet also. For this contest we will have a “Daily Diet Focus” and OVERALL “5&5+” Diet goal:
OVERALL “5&5+” Diet goal:
By “5&5+” I am referring to serving guidelines- let’s put are focus on what TO Eat in a day vs. What NOT to eat:
5 proteins servings daily
AND
5 Fruits and veggies
+Plus FAT = what ever FATS come with those proteins, fruits and veggies (meat fats, dressings, oils, butter, etc…)
Don’t go overboard with “extra fats” and be WISE about your food choices- but PLEASE enjoy your food and fats in moderation. They are good for you and needed for a healthy body! (FYI- this 5&5+ fits perfectly into my hormonal timing diet recommendations for buffing …more info on that is in my books)
Like I said-“FOCUS on what we CAN EAT vs. what we can’t- FOCUS on Solutions!!!”***NOTES ABOUT CARB INTAKE***
5 fruits/Veggies is the goal- CARBS are in many fruits and many veggies
it’s up to you on how few carbs you get in by the selections you make-
In an optimal weight loss “buffing” style diet (the 5-3-3-3)- you’d want about 3 of the choices to be CARB based (like fruit or complex carb veggies like sweet potatoes, etc..) and the other 2 from greens
BUT PLEASE let’s keep this simple! If you focus on 5 Proteins &5 fruit/veggies + the accompanying Fats you will lose weight!
NOW a bit more housekeeping, I believe in beginning with the END in mind~
