“How to get 6 packs abs”, trying to solve this for at least last 10 years but it’s a really hard problem.
- atom-morgan 6y agoWhat have you tried so far?
- master_yoda_1 6y agoGoing to gym, eating salad, skipping lunch
- angrais 6y agoCan you expand on what you do at the gym and when you started your most recent routine? As always, abs are made in the kitchen. See: skinny folk
- master_yoda_1 6y agoInitially I lost weight but hit a plateau later and got demotivated
- fiblye 6y agoSkipping meals doesn't help you lose weight in most cases. Your body optimizes for the expectation of not having food and stores more energy. Eating smaller, filling meals helps more. I actually don't know of anyone who's lost weight from salads. Usually they're just left feeling hungry and usually add dressing to compensate (which just gives you completely unfilling calories).
- master_yoda_1 6y agoYeh I experienced the same
- axegon_ 6y agoThis is surprisingly easy. Unless you have some medical condition, in which case it may be impossible. ~2 years ago I was 110 kilos, 185cm. Borderline obese. Now I'm in the upper 60's. The 6(8 turns out in my case) packs became a thing only as a consequence of the wfh, and subsequently boredom and eventually "let's see if it's possible". Realistically it took me about a month. And while exercise played a role, most of it came from food. Without starving at all either.
- rxsel 6y agoScience solved this problem way before the shake weight. Understanding some basic concepts in nutrition/wellness, such as macros and micros, calories, how Energy Expenditure (keeping you alive, walks, lifting weights, etc) and Energy Storage (Fat, Muscle, etc) all ties in with your unique genetics, body composition and lifestyle goes a long way. Quick and dirty trick: be at a low Body Fat Percentage and have abdominal muscles (which we all do ha).
