So who wants a six pack/slim waist for the summer then?
GIRLS / BOYS/

** We are having a reveal end of August, this gives everyone time to get in some shape and lose those pounds.

Some Tips

Eat six times a day.
Eat three standard meals and three smaller snacks. For example:

8 a.m. BREAKFAST
11 a.m. SNACK
1 p.m. LUNCH
4 p.m. SNACK
6 p.m. DINNER
9 p.m. SNACK

1 For Fats stick with Mediterranean-style fats such as olive oil, fish, nuts and avocados, which do not promote heart disease or cancer, but do have health benefits such as lowering your cholesterol and protecting your joints.

2 Use nonfat dairy products high in calcium.

3 Drink more water. Water helps mobilize fat stores, while dehydration prompts stubborn fat to sit tight (or, more accurately, sit loose). Many weight-loss experts believe that drinking one ounce of water (or any noncaffeinated, nonalcoholic beverage) per pound of body weight is the formula for effective fat burning.

4 Avoid carbonated beverages. DIET COKE is not a real DIET drink. Get the Water!

5 Replace some starches with vegetables. Example replace half your rice, potatoes or pasta with a cup of a vegetable such as broccoli, cauliflower, green beans or zucchini. While a cup of white rice contains 240 calories, a cup of mixed steamed vegetables has only 50.

6 Don't eat a big evening meal and less/no carbs after 6.

7 Creatine helps burn fat. For years creatine has been used to pump up muscles, but it also helps burn calories. A study published in the International Journal of Sports Medicine showed that creatine can help you burn an extra 100 calories a day. Try five grams a day, taken after your workout, for at least six weeks.

8 Vary your caloric intake. Instead of eating the same thing day in and day out try a srict two days a week and moderately three days a week, then give yourself a little slack on the weekends. Never giving it the chance to kick in its primitive survival mechanism that stores fat when calories are cut back.

9 Pump up the protein. When you decrease your total calories, you need to increase your protein intake an extra 20 percent to maintain your muscle mass and keep your metabolism in high gear.

10 No sugar in Tea!And of course no crisps and chocolate.
(Try and cut the beer awell)

Do your cardio in the morning if you can , 3 times a week, 40 min sessions after a coffee.

FOODS

Breakfasts - Cereals, Oat like - Oatabix etc
Snacks and meals Play around with Eggs, Tuna, Pasta,Baked potatoes,brown rice, Fish , Some salads, But dont go nuts with the carbs and DO not eat until your full.

You do realise you have to be pretty lean to have a properly defined six pack? Everyone has one, it's just the layers of fat covering it. Doing stomach crunches won't just suffice.

Nonetheless this page might be some use to you for exercises

I personally think it's unhealthy, I'd rather have (which I do) a toned flat stomach than a 6 pack.

That's my aim as well. I did have a six pack after travelling Eastern Europe 2years ago in the hottest summer ever! Even got chatted up by a bird 1st week out clubbing.

But now got a belly and bit of a man's titties going on, so not good. Need major work. Trying to find a previous Arena mag which had some tips.

rirrwan didnt you read my post!?
Yes I do realise and i think most men do its about the fat% as I said. exercise helps burn the calories, and when the fat% is down then all the stomach crunches would help give definition.

How say we post pictures of stomachs now?
And every 2 weeks? Or we could say the end of every month??

cutting umm.. well dont starve yourselfs! you still need to eat 3 meals per day just eat clean no cut out bad fats. Although you still need healthy fats... seeds olive oil etc... abs dont need working every day, they are like any other muscle.

Cardio = the key 3 sessions of 40mins should be cool per week. Although if at the gym divide this between three different exercise... cycling, running and cross trainer or something.

Keep diet clean and exercise.... bet no one does it.

I am currently bulking so it aint for me... but goodluck.

can the dior boys join in? Oops No baby foods trust me!

I use to have a six pack prolly over a year ago when I use to go to gym religously but right now it has gone back to a toned bit of a bellly stomach.

I dont mind doing it just to have goal instead of just boozing around every weekend.

This gives us all time to start getting something we feel better about.

going for "brad pitts" regime may not be the best to follow - he earns quite a bit of cash so will have had a personal trainer, so i doubt he stuck with the same exercises all the time.

add to that fact that since his fist film his main attribute has been his body and looks. that boys probably been a hardcore gym goer for the past 20 or more years.

Me too, I went to the gym and ate well religiously for several years up until about last september. I haven't been all winter and have been eating a terrible diet - I eat 3-4 bars of chocolate a day and loads of crisps. I put some shorts on the other day I havent worn since the summer, and I noticed a bit of flab around my stomach. Cry

I've never ever had that before, but i suppose coming up to 30 and eating crap it was always going to happen. The ironic thing is i weigh a stone less than i did when i went to the gym all the time, i've lost bulk and gained a bit of fat.

I was planning to start training again anyway and get a mountain bike so this can give me some motivation!

Count me in Cool

i saw a film with a 16 yr old brad pitt. he looked pretty amazing then (no homo). I think he'd look good sans gym anyway.
