Getting " 6 pack abs " is primarily about getting " lean " - losing body fat. Though it varies person by person as to when your abs may ' show ', you might start by setting a target of trying to get your body fat close to 10% or so.

However, you need to start a plan of attack in term of tackling fat, calories etc, so you have to gather some basic info first. Here is a basic ' information gathering approach ' you can use to get you started........


HOW CALORIES RELATE TO FAT LOSS

This excellent article by Tom Venuto does a great job of discussing ' Calorie Calculators & Calorie Calculations ' ( including explaining & calculating your things like your BMR, " maintenance calories ", etc. etc. ) and how you can use this info to help you lose fat.


Calorie Calculations and Calorie Calculators: How Many Calories a Day Should You Eat?



HOW MANY CALORIES SHOULD I CONSUME EACH DAY

This second link below ( ' Delware link ) it actually does a BMR / maintenance calorie calculation ( discussed in the article above ) for you.......

HOW MUCH BODY FAT DO I ACTUALLY HAVE

Finally, if you want to lose fat, it's always a good idea to first get some rough idea of how much fat you currently have on you. You do this by calculating an estimate of your " body fat % ".

You can use this on-line calculator to ' ballpark ' your body fat %.........

To help figure out what kind of foods you should be eating and how many times a day!, this " 7 Habits " article represents a sound approach in deciding what ( and when ) to eat.

Do you belong to a gym ?

How many days a week can you dedicate to training ?

Do you want to do weight training, cardio - or both ?
 
Please don't just train your mirror muscles, your back and legs are equally, if not more important.

For nutrition and training info just read the stickies in the relevent sections
 
"just say exactly what foods i need and times i need to eat them"

It doesn't exactly work like that. Everyone's different.

I was coming in here to help but I have to ask you something. Why would you come onto a web forum and say "this is what i want and you better give it to me the way i want it"? People get paid for this stuff, and the advice you get here is free. People here spend a lot of time helping other people and honestly your entitled attitude totally turned me off from helping you at all.

If you ask me its chauvinists with your attitude who drive newbies away. I heard some bad things about the site and wanted to see for merself. I don't think n00bst4r will be back on the forum becuase of your attitude.

I agree, but on a side note..i love working my back, i consider it one of my mirror muscles :biggrinsanta:
 
I dont see any where in: "tribal, tribal, tribal" as dissing you? Can you explain? Please entertain me with your wisdom.

With the continual attacks on Derwyddon (and in some cases myself), I cant help but feel you are violating your ban, Tribal, by having access to a different PC at at different location which subsquently gives you a different IP, or you are using one of the other methods.

Must say Chillen ( and I think this may be a first :) ), I had the same suspicions - I agree with you 100%.

That's male chauvinist pig. He has belittled Jackie in the Body & Mind forum and made crappy UNIVERSAL statements in the weightloss forum. Its only males who attack poor women like that.

Name "specifically" the person doing this to my friend, Jackie11? Specific Links and and specific posts, and provide the evidence to make such a claim.

If you are speaking of me "indirectly" this is laughable.
