How much time does it take to build a six-pack abs?
Tuesday, July 20th, 2010
@Idyllic: I am starting fom a one-pack abs 
Getting a nice set of abs is such a misunderstood process. It’s actually a lot easier than most people think which is why most people are in a never ending quest to get that perfect six pack – it’s because they’re doing all the wrong things.
When you eat more calories than you burn, your body takes those extra calories and stores them as fat somewhere on your body. For some people, the #1 fat storage area is around the thighs and for others it might be around the stomach – it differs from person to person. Sometimes the fat is perfectly distributed around the body so it’s not as big of a concern.
If an excessive amount of fat is stored around your stomach, the reason that you’re not seeing your abs is because your body fat percentage is too high. What you need to do is create a calorie deficit (take in less calories than you burn) so that your body is forced to use its fat stores for energy. After a few weeks of doing this, you’ll notice that your abs will start to show.
You first step is to figure out how many calories you burn each day. Use this calculator http://calorieneedscalculator.com for an estimate. Now you need to increase the amount of calories you burn by exercising more and decreasing the amount of calories you eat. Cut out junk food such as fast food, candy and sugar. Eat foods that are high in fiber: bread and pasta made from 100% whole wheat, brown rice, oats, fruits and vegetables.
You shouldn’t ignore targeting your abs with sit ups, leg raises and twists but doing hundreds of sit ups won’t do anything about the layer of fat that is covering them. Cardio and calorie restriction should be your main focus. If you need more details on getting a six pack, visit The Straight Health Forums – http://forums.straighthealth.com

Best Multivitamins and Supplements to take to help build a six pack?
Friday, July 9th, 2010I would like to know the best multi vitamins to buy that would help me achieve a six pack. Also any supplements that would help burn off fat from my abs and build muscle for arms and abs! FYI im 17
Hi my friend,
These are the facts, no supplement or fat burner or any vitamin will burn fat from your stomach only.
To get a six pack you firstly need to build up your abs. Then shed the over laying fat.
So its a combination of building mucle, then burning the fat.
You are 17, you will not have a problem in doing that.
I advise weight training and supplementing with protein powders. Building mucle will burd your fat also. Concentrate on lifting weights, eating well and the abs will come through no problem
Good luck
