Ok, here is the truth about six-pack abs. Almost nobody can maintain them. It's a temporary state.
The reason for this is because all animals in nature, including humans have a body fat percentage set point. Normally, for young men it's supposed to be between 12-18 percent, and women 15-21 percent, give or take.
This is natural and normal. We all have body fat set points because our body is hard-wired for survival, and our bodies need to know when we are getting too low in body fat so it can put metabolic pressure on you to get back to the set point.
To get a good six pack, you usually have to go below 10 percent body fat, which is below the set point. Bodybuilders do this all of the time before competitions. They go on calorie counting diets, get down to 5-6 percent body fat for the competition, then gain all the weight back after they perform.
This is why I say calorie counting is a great way to lose weight. temporarily.
The body just simply does not want to be 5 percent body fat. Your body will kick in emergency measures to increase your hunger, fat storage metabolism and reduce your energy in a effort to save your life because it senses a famine.
Six pack abs are not sustainable, sorry to say. It's too low a body fat percentage for your body to maintain. Just blame evolution and your body's natural instinct to survive for this.

I-m 47 and have a six pack.
I have only drank water for 2 years now.
Absolutely zero sugar goes into my body.
And sugar is in ALL processed food.
I practice intermittent fasting everyday.
Make sure you soak your steel cut oats overnight. (Warm water/ 1tbls apple cider vinegar) if your prefer some sweetness, add green apple/banana/raisins/cinnamon.
No sugar!
I break my fast everyday with 3 cups of oats.
I would say super strict diet is more effective at creating a six pack.
Having a strong will power is very important inner muscle to work out.
Remember guys, the mental game is just as important as the body game.

Off topic but question. I-ve been in keto for 2 months solid, broke out of keto for a few days then took me 3-4 days to get back into keto. Then last night I caved and had 2 sausage biscuits, 2 hash browns, and sausage burrito from McDonald-s. I-ve been checking my urine using test strips and noticed I-m still in keto. So how long will it take that McDonald-s splurge to kick me out of keto or did I somehow get lucky and manage to stay in with that much carb intake

-Want to drop 5 pounds, 20 pounds or even 60 pounds if not more all without starving yourself --WeightLose. Fitness-- or counting calories? This is entirely possible. I'd been doubtful at first, but when I began The Venus Factor, I was impressed at the results. The system is so easy to grasp and put to work in your life. I am not going to reveal to you how much I lost, but I wanted to share the information for anyone else planning to slim down. -

Okay Jeff, I have a question.
- I went through a low fat phase and dropped 30lbs in 3 months. From what I've read, low (but healthy) fat intake, is the way to shred AND get muscle mass. I've also read that moderate intake of good fats and and lower carb intake will shred the body. If I am going for muscle mass gain, maybe adding 10 or 15 extra lbs, but look shredded, what should my nutrition look like?

Biggest problem for me is money. Supplements are expensive here. For someone who lives in Iraq, it's expensive to get oats, milk, bananas, and chicken everyday. I do train at home with equipment and I try to eat what I can. Like if I eat with family, I can't force them to cook the chicken a certain way. It can be a struggle.

I've come to a lot of the same conclusions myself, but the two things I'm hung up on: coffee and nuts. Coffee or tea seems it could have some role in -good- nutrition, but it messes with your blood sugar levels. esp coffee. And nuts have nice plant-based proteins and some nutrients - but oh so many calories! What say you?

I've gone from being a sick 48kg mentally unwell person that had a severe addiction to meth only 6 months ago to 108kg, healthy with a extremely noticeable muscle definition, after #1 going to rehab and #2 really following and studying the suggestions on these videos. Thanks heaps for the great content.
