Your six pack abs won't show if they are covered with a layer or layers of fat! While you're building up those ab muscles, you need to burn ab fat at the same time. You can only do that by following a healthy meal plan.
You can start with eating your daily servings of fresh fruits and vegetables. I've never heard of anyone getting fat by eating too many fruits and veggies. Next, cut out ALL SUGARY DRINKS. Drink only water or unsweetened drinks like tea. If you will do just those two things, you will be well on your way to shedding body fat on your abs and whole body.
So, how much food do you need to eat every day? You have to achieve a caloric deficit (burn more calories than you consume) for the day to lose weight and burn fat.
Set your daily caloric intake based on your basal metabolic rate and your activity level (including exercise). This way, you won't eat too much or too little. Maintaining the right amount of caloric deficit is the key to burning fat and losing weight.
If your basal metabolic rate is 1800 calories a day, 1000 calories of food intake is not enough food for you to function properly! This type of calorie restriction will cause your body to shift to survival mode and store fat. Your body will also be a total wreck if you do this too much!
So, if you eat 1800 calories and burn 2200-2300 calories a day (through movement and exercise), you will lose weight and burn ab fat and total body fat.
Eat foods as close to their natural state as possible. For example, a baked potato would be better than french fries.
Here are some do's and don'ts when it comes to the replacement method of eating:
Cut out these types of foods: sodas, sugary fruit juice drinks, candy, cookies, donuts, fried meats and fried foods, fast foods, ketchup, mayonnaise
Add these types of foods: whole grain breads, whole grain cereals, oatmeal, almonds, nuts, low-fat dairy products, low-fat yogurt, fruits, veggies, unsweetened tea, water, lean meats (baked, broiled or grilled), olive oil, cinnamon, mustard.
