A quick note about the Author

Mike Geary is a certified nutritionist and personal trainer. He states in the beginning of the book:

“Everything you will read in this manual comes from years of sound research as well as hands-on experience with thousands of my clients for both exercise strategies and nutrition strategies. “

He lives and teaches this stuff that he writes about in The Truth about six pack abs. He is an industry expert and is out to teach how to lose fat and build lean muscle the right way.

What the Truth about six pack abs covers

The book is broken down into three sections:

• The Introduction and important primer information about leanness, body fat %, effective abdominal training, and understanding our metabolic rate and how we burn calories.
• Workouts and Mikes Effective training plan (which you can do from home or a gym)
• Diet and Nutrition
  

The book spans 116 pages, but in the workout section there are a lot of example pictures to ensure you fully understand the exercises he's explaining (you can see the different chapters in the book from the Table of Contents screen shot here).

The Training and Fitness of the Six Pack Abs program

Don't be intimidated about the thought of having to workout for 2 hours every day of the week. The truth about abs training program is broken down into two sections:

1. Interval training
2. Resistance and Weight training

Mike suggests that anything longer then 45-60 minutes isn't giving you any more benefit in fat loss or muscle building. So he breaks down his training program into 3-4 days a week for 45-60 minutes each day. I thought that was very realistic, and the average working adult could fit that routine into their current schedule.

You don't need to be a member at a gym, but Mike suggests having at least a stability ball and set of dumb bells at home to perform the suggested workouts. You can start off The Truth about six pack abs program with no equipment, but as you progress you'll want invest a couple of bucks in those two items.

The Nutrition and Diet for The Truth About Abs Program

Mike is a big proponent of eating 5-6 small meals a day that are similar in size. In The Truth about Abs he suggests eating  about every 3 hours when we're awake. I was glad to see he supported something I've been doing now for about a year and that's planning all of your meals for an entire week, and only shop for the items you need for those meals.

Beyond planned and smaller more frequent meals Mike explains how to calculate our daily calorie requirement, and use that as a guide line for what and how much we should eat. I found this section really interesting, because I've always hated the diet industry. There's a whole section of the book dedicated to explaining why fad and crash diets don't work.

Closing out the diet section of The Truth about abs Mike gives a great table of example meal plans (see an example meal plan) for days that you're training and days your not. This is really detailed and actually provides the nutritional information for each meal.

How to follow the Truth About Abs program

The easiest way to get started with Mike's program would be to read through the entire book first. I'd make notes as you're going through for reference because there is a lot covered. Then start at the beginning again and start implementing what he talks about.

Plan you're own workout routine, start making the modifications to your diet and eating habits. One of the first thing mikes says is:

“The nutrition section of this book is vitally important to your success. Let me state this loud and clear… if all you focus on is your training, and your diet is full of junk, you WILL NOT see results! You need to apply BOTH the training strategies as well as the nutrition strategies if you want to make this work. “

It's a must that you follow both the workout and nutrition information if you want maximum results.
