Are you also missing six-pack abs but your body is lean and trying very hard to achieve but could not, then this blog is for you.
Science behind six-pack abs
Six-pack abs are just like any other muscle group like chest, biceps etc. It also needs to be trained to make it strong.
Everyone has these abs muscles but the problem is only invisibility and it is visible only when the percentage of body fat is low. Most of our fat is concentrated in our abdominal region and thus covers the abdominal muscles and is not visible. So you need to have a flat stomach to show off your abs, but that doesn't mean that only fat loss will help you get your abs.
To make it visible like other muscles, this abdominal muscle must also be trained to be strong and visible. And at the same time lose fat because nutrition and training go symmetrically.
The abdominal muscles are divided into 6 different muscles. Which also includes the three layers of main muscle that make up your abs.
Transverse abdominis (transverse abdominal muscle)
Internal (obliques internus)
External oblique (external oblique)
Your body fat percentage should ideally be less than 10-12% to get visible six-pack abs.
If you have extra fat in your body then your abs will never pop.
Cardio, body weight exercises, and a good diet will help you along the way
Lets Start
DIET
When designing a diet, we should consider macro and micronutrients
Don't Get Confused With These Terms
Simply put, macronutrients are the nutrients that the body requires in large quantities, whereas micronutrients are needed in small amounts.
To break it down, even more,
Macronutrients make up your total caloric intake and include carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Micronutrients include vitamins, minerals, and water.
45 to 65 percent of calories come from carbohydrates
20 to 35 percent of calories come from fat
10 to 35 percent of calories come from protein
To get 45 to 65 percent of your calories from carbohydrates, choose healthy carbs such as brown rice, oatmeal, whole grains, potatoes, vegetables and fruits. For your daily fat consumption, choose unsaturated fats such as nuts, seeds, olive oil, and avocados. And for protein, alternate between chicken, fish, lean meats, eggs, beans, and legumes. Dairy is also a good source of protein but should be limited as much as possible.
When consuming the above macros, we already get micronutrients as side products like vitamins A, B, C, D, and E, iron, calcium, and magnesium.
But for people who are on a special type of diet that restricts certain foods or are vegetarian or vegan, it's important to take vitamin and mineral supplements to make sure you're consuming enough. Consult your doctor or registered dietitian to create a vitamin and mineral supplement plan.
Please make sure not to take calories from fast and processed food like burgers, pizza, chips, etc.
Workout
workout is basically a medium of burning calories that we took from food and nourish our muscles and achieve our fitness goals.
Please noted down Diet always plays a major and important role.
Without Workout, we might be able to achieve fitness goals in a longer duration but without diet, we can't.
