We are what we eat so Track it!

Do you know how much or even what you're eating in a day, or during the run of a week? If you don't then it's time you figured it out. I suggest getting an inexpensive notebook or scribbler for this task. For at least one

week, but better yet a month track everything you eat. From the scones at break with your coffee to that afternoon binge when you ran over to the vending machine in the office. Be sure you jot it down. We want to get

a birds eye view of what your diet actually looks like. This way you can see where you're snacking or eating high fat foods, and either cut them out or replace them entirely.

Plan your meals to save calories and money

Planning your meals for a week serves two purposes.

1.) It ensures you only buy what's needed for your meals this week at the grocery store (this saves money)

2.) You know exactly what you're making each night, so there's no question or chance of slipping and ordering out etc.

This can seem like a chore at first, but trust me you'll get into it and it actually automates this part of your life. Sit down at the beginning of each week and write out what you're going to have for your major meals. Of

course also take inventory of what you have on hand for breakfast foods (always eat breakfast), lunches etc. If you work outside the home it can be ideal to either make recipes that will have left overs for you to take to

work, or plan lunches to brown bag to avoid the temptation of fast processed foods at lunch time.

Drink water you're body will love you

Do you drink enough water in the run of a day? You probably don't even know. Well while you're tracking what you're eating start making a tally each day for the number of glasses of water you're drinking. You should

strive for eight 8 oz. glasses a day. So why is this part of a proper diet for six pack abs? Numerous reasons:

1.) water is an appetite suppressant

2.) Water increases energy and stimulates our mind

3.) It naturally detoxes and cleanses our systems

So water isn't a direct weight loss stimulant, but it's a required by product of everything else you're doing. Without water you're over all body suffers.

There you have it three things you can change to create the proper diet for six pack abs. Don't procrastinate on these, get yourself a notebook and start tracking what you're eating and your water intake, and next week

plan those meals you'll be amazed at just how easy grocery shopping and deciding what to cook and eat will be.
