six-packs are made in the kitchen!

In order for your abdominal muscles to show you need to lose body fat- we all have six packs but layers of fat are what prevent us from seeing the muscle.

If you want a toned tummy then cardio and good eating habits are a necessity. Everyone's body is different, but what worked for me was increasing my protein intake to 1 g of protein per pound that I weigh (120 lbs = 120 g of protein). Doing that I retained muscle while losing body fat doing cardio.

My tummy was tiiiiiiight, lol. THEN came the job search process and I gained 4 pounds. Bye Bye 6 pack.

It's okay though, I went to GNC and bought a HUGE tub of protein shake mix and will be getting back to my three times minimum gym/workout schedule this month. I give it about a month til I get my 6-pack back- it would be less but I dont have time to kill myself at the gym right now.
