You’re Eating the Wrong Foods

All our experts agree: A healthy diet is the fastest way to flat abs. “You could do 1,000 abs exercises a day, but if you’re consuming too many calories, your rock-solid six-pack is going to be hiding under fat,” says Clayton. If you really want to boost your beach confidence, eat fewer refined carbohydrates (pretzels, bread, pasta) and watch your sugar and alcohol intake, as these foods tend to lead to belly fat. Instead, fill up on lean protein (such as legumes, white meat chicken or turkey, lean beef, fish and low-fat dairy) and non-starchy fruits and vegetables.
