It seems like something everyone wants are ripped abs. At the same time, it can be the hardest goal to achieve. Why is that? According to a lot of trainers, there are a few factors to consider. 

For one thing, doing a billion crunches is not the key. You actually need to incorporate some consistent cardio, along with some squats, dips and lunges. Another thing to keep in mind? It really doesn’t matter how much you exercise if your diet sucks. In order to get the six-pack that you’re looking for, you need to get in plenty of protein, healthy fats and the right kinds of carbs into your system.

Your diet? That’s what we’re going to focus on today. If you’re committed to incorporating the following seven foods on a weekly basis (and you stick to a smart exercise regimen), you’ll be ready to show your abs off come Memorial Day.

About Shellie Reneé

Just a woman who digs all things relationships. HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, that is. I've been writing (professionally) for close to 20 years, including having two books published. I'm also a marriage life coach and doula. Sometimes I speak to large audiences or do radio interviews, but usually I'm sitting in my favorite chair, surfin' the 'net and penning stuff that I wish I had read in my early 20s.

Listen, I don't have all the answers, not by a LOOOOONG shot. But whatever I can do to spare folks any heartbreak, bitterness or straight-up drama, I'll devote some keystrokes to doing. 

That's it...in a nutshell. For the most part. Kinda. ;)
