Have You Heard Of The Quickest Short Cut To Six-Pack Abs?
I read a troubling article on NDTV.com recently. It is about the latest techniques in cosmetic surgery in which surgeons are offering the ultimate quick fix in fitness that I’ve ever heard of. An operation which gives you six pack abs!
You will no doubt have heard of liposuction, the process of removing fat tissue from the body. This new type of the surgery goes even further and actually leaves you with what appear to be washboard abs. Technically, there is no surgery done on the abdominal muscles themselves, instead an illusion is created through liposuction that creates a grove effect on the patient’s stomach which apparently is good enough to fool anyone (though no pictures are given).
The doctors themselves warn that the solution is only temporary and that such procedures can lead to blood clots and heart diseases. So let’s stop and think about that for a moment;
The types of people who have these operations are going to be people who live a lifestyle that causes them to have a high body fat percentage. The way they eat, and the way they exercise (or don’t exercise) means that there is no way that they’ll be able to keep the changes that are made through surgery.
Good things in life take time. If you want a six pack and you change your diet and lifestyle so that you slowly get your body fat percentage down and increase your muscle size, then the changes you make will be long lasting. Not only that, but you’ll be healthier than you were before you started making these changes.
The other route to take is using the surgical knife. Not only will it cost you thousands of dollars, you will also put your health at risk, and to make matters even worse, the changes made are only going to last a short while before you go back to the way you looked before.
I hope you don’t need any more convincing as to the superior option!

I’ve already come to the conclusion that one diet will work wonders for one person yet not make a slight difference to another.
What diets have you done that actually worked for you?
How long did you keep it up? (Yes I’m assuming you gave up at some point)
I’ve done many diets in my life and each time I gave up keeping it going for various reasons.
One does stand out though and that’s the cabbage soup diet. It is meant to cleanse your body of all the bad foods you’ve had and should only be done for one week since it is not a diet for life. I can say it really worked. My mum and I did it (I think 10 years ago) She lost about 3 kg in that week and looked no different in her appearance. I, on the other hand lost nothing, yet I looked great.
In a nut shell the diet consists of having a certain recipe for cabbage soup which you can eat as much as you want the entire week, and every day you eat something else (can’t remember the list though..)
How about you?
