Before you get over excited with the fact that you could get flat abs in just 12 weeks, I should warn you that results very depending on the individual. An overweight person with a 38 inch waist can lose 4-5 inches within 12 weeks which doesn't mean that person got a flat stomach. Instead he/she lose 4-5 inches, and if the person continues following the system, he/she will get super lean in a very short period of time.



Let me take you through a brief journey to the world of quick and effective fat loss where the dirtiest yet most popular myths of fat loss with be finally revealed.

-- Doing 1000s of Ab crunches every day will never get you a flat stomach.

You can cry and break yourself doing thousands of Ab crunches every single day, but you will never see those strong muscular abs if you don't get rid of the fat hanging around your belly. In order to remove this fat, you need to lose fat from all over your body. As you continue to lose body fat, your abdominals will start to reveal itself in the form of a six pack for men or really sexy abdominals for women.

-- Spending hours on the Cardio machine is a waste of time for fat loss.

If you were already aware of the fact that you need to lose total body fat to get a flat stomach, then you probably would have started spending too much time on the cardio machines hoping to burn more calories as displayed in the digital meter of the treadmill or stationary bike.

Well, let me tell you right now that slow boring cardio is really boring and a real waste of time. Have you noticed that the overweight people in the gym always hang around near the cardio machines while the lean and ripped individuals spend their time in the free weights section?

If you want to get a flat stomach, you need to build muscle. The more muscle you build in your body, the harder your body works to maintain that muscle while repairing damaged muscle tissue from the most recent workout. This causes your body to burn a lot of calories for energy and fuel.

And here's where the original golden rule applies.

Calories Out Greater Than Calories In = Fat Loss.

If you build muscle in the right way by performing compound muscle building exercises like the Chest Press, Rows, Squats, Deadlifts, Chinups and Pullups by performing 3 to 4 Sets of each exercises to muscular failure, you will be very well on your way to get a flat stomach in a very short period of time.

-- Eating Too Little to Lose More Weight is A BIG FAT MISTAKE!

This is by far the most popular and legendary myth of all times. Eating too little so that you lose weight only works in the short term, and leads to get double fat in the long run. This is really big mistake and I am going to shatter this truth and claim (with thousands of backup experts) that the best way to get a flat stomach is by eating 5-6 short meals a day with two portions of high fiber carbs, a handful of healthy fats like almonds and one portion of lean protein in every meal.

In order to lose weight, you need to eat anywhere from 1500 calories to 2000 calories a day depending on your weight and gender. In short, you need to consume 500 calories short of your maintenance level every day until you reduce your total body fat to the level you want. If you want to get a flat stomach and see your six pack abs, you need to be at least at 9% body fat for men and 14% for women.

Keep following this plan and you will be well on your way to get a flat stomach in just weeks!
