The Abs Diet for Women Reviewed: Healthy or Hype?

The Abs Diet for Women promises to give women what they want: abs...along with weight loss and a decrease in body fat percentage and it promises to deliver when they want it: quickly...and in a way that will fit in with the rest of their life. David Zinczenko, the author of "The Abs Diet" has tweaked his book in a way that addresses the needs of women and created "The Abs Diet for Women". The dustcover of the book offers this tantalizing promise "The Six-Week Plan to Flatten Your Belly and Firm Up Your Body for Life".

So, how does the Abs Diet for Women plan to deliver such impressive results and in a mere six weeks? In the same way that most diet plans say that they will: healthy eating and an exercise program. This isn't a bad thing, on the contrary, that is the only healthy way to lose weight and improve your fitness so immediately The Abs Diet for Women is establishing itself as a legitimate program. That may seem insignificant until you factor in the number of plans that eliminate half of the foods you've ever heard of and every food that you love, or recommend that you eat only one food to the exclusion of others. And of course, then there's the countless number of pills and potions available, but take heart: The Abs Diet for Women is not built around such a gimmick. The basics of the Abs Diet for Women appeal to common sense, scientific knowledge, and every woman that wants to improve her health.

The first tenet of the Abs Diet for Women is to eat. This is not a deprivation diet. Zinczenko doesn't even recommend calorie counting while on the diet because "the Abs-Diet is designed to be self-controlling", this also means that you're not going to be spending your time tediously measuring every serving that you eat. This is possible because the Abs Diet Power 12, the foods you're going to be eating, are high in protein and fiber and will fill you up and keep you full. However, millions of women DO count calories and want to continue to do so and catering to this need the Abs Diet for Women includes a section on how to count calories with the plan and tips on how to make every calorie count, as well as a Nutritional Values of Common Foods list.
