Every one tells me im to skinny, i have a sixpack, i just want to get them more defined. and you need 8-9% body to have a good sixpack. I STILL NEED SOME GOOD ADVICE!!

this is all for you personally, using the info you provided. Use the top one if your quite active: excersise at least 3-5 days a week of excercise and bottom one if your very active: 6-7 days a week of excercise.
makes sure you eat approximately:
3 cups dairy
2 cups fruit
2 1/2 cups vegetables
6 ounces grains
5 1/2 ounces meat and beans
per day
good luck!!

We’ve had a reader question come in on the subject of diet tips. Let’s take a look:
Question: I don’t drink soda anymore. That seemed to help a lot.
Answer: Eat less… seriously its that easy. Eat less junk food and more healthy food. Losing weight can be very easy if you have the willpower to resist urges. Don’t completely stay away from the foods you love, or you’ll be more likely to fail and quit as you’ll be miserable. Best advise I can give… eat several small meals a day instead of three large meals. A constant source of food lets your body know that it will always have source of nutrition coming in and it doesn’t need to store as much as it used to…thus your metabolism naturally increases

I just love answering these diet tips questions. Here’s another:
Question: okay im a 20year old female. i weigh 118lbs and im 5 feet tall. now im not fat, most people say i fall in the normal thin category. but for some reason i have this little lower tum pouch. I do cardio (about 30 min on eliptical, 3 times a week), i eat pretty healthy to normal and on some weekends i eat out and don’t look at calories to much. now lately i’ve been steping up my work out, i do about 20 min of core workouts (crunches, planks, side hip dip planks, etc) to try to get rid of the lower pouch. now i’ve noticed results and i can see my abs startiing to form. but i don’t want abs i just want a flat stomach. i still have that little pouch in my lower stomach. i dont want a ab structure stomach and from the side stilll look thick, if you see me face foward my stomach looks flat but when i turn side ways it looks thick, mainly my lower stomach. how do i make it go away!
Answer: The lower pooch area is all a body fat thing…that means it doesn’t matter how much you weigh, but what your composition is. This means you need to completely step-up your workouts in intensity and do more than 3 times a week (I’m DISABLED and I workout more than you do…that should tell you something) and don’t eat "normal" but instead eat healthy all the time.
Flat abs don’t just HAPPEN. You really need to work, work, work.
A diet tips question that should definitely interest you all this week
Question: Any DIET Tip[s on Controlling Appetite?
Answer:
First off, check out my diet program here: Ruby Weight loss
Secondly:
1. Reduce sugar intake. Intake of sugar will cause an insulin reaction that will lower your blood sugar. This will cause you to feel hungry and want to eat again. If you then choose a sugary or starchy food, you've started the cycle over again.
Try eating vegetables, cheeses, meats and other low carb options. When you want to snack, stay away from sugary items. Stay away from Soft drinks! Stay away from sugar substitutes. Sometimes your insulin system mistakes these for sugar.
2. Eat small frequent meals. Eat about enough to curb your hunger for about 2-3 hours. Then eat again when your hunger comes back. You'll find that the total calories you consume will be much lower than if you ate a few big meals. I reccomend 5-6 small meals per day.
3. Drink lots of water. Sometimes your brain will confuse it's signals and you will find yourself eating when you are actually dehydrated. 64-96 ounces per day works great. That's A LOT, but start small and work up to it.
Good luck and God Bless!
