Including these nutrients will help with your muscle growth and the repair process.
Never skip breakfast. You know the saying that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. That is absolutely true. Studies have shown that people who do not eat breakfast retain more weight around their belly than people who do eat breakfast. Also be sure to keep hydrated by drinking plenty of water during the day. Water is really about all that you should ever drink. Drinking a glass of water before a meal will make you feel more full and in turn you will be less hungry, so you will eat less at that meal.
Another efficient method for gaining those six pack abs is to get your body moving. Using cardio is a great way to burn calories and lose fat. It also makes your heart strong, increases your lung capacity, reduces stress, makes you feel better and sleep better. Getting a good night's sleep is very important. During sleep is when the body repairs and rebuilds. Getting 6-8 hours sleep every night is the optimal amount. Studies have also shown that people who sleep between 4 and 7 hours per night live the longest.
You will also want to incorporate some resistance training 3-5 times per week. Using weight training on the core or lower body will burn the fat quicker than any other type of exercise and it will also aid in building a strong abdominal area.
