Abs Diet for Women by Travis

Just wanted to make sure that the women doing the diet are getting their questions answered and are headed in the right direction.

This web page contains some information for women doing the Abs Diet.

Additionally, there is a Women's Abs Diet Forum where you can get a lot of questions answered.

Hope that helps. If any of the ladies would like to chime in, I'm sure the others would appreciate it.

First week? Crushed it. by Travis

When I originally came up with this idea, I never would have imagined that 25 other people would be interested in doing this alongside me. Allow me to say that I've been very impressed with everyone's dedication and enthusiasm for the diet. So far, all the feedback I've received has been very positive and the basic sentiment shared by everyone is how easy it is to incorporate the diet into their lifestyle. It also seems that people are noticing positives results from their efforts – keep it up!

As for me, I've actually gained about 2 pounds but, fear not, I'm not conceding the contest just yet. At the same time, I've managed to lose about 1% in body fat and I feel leaner.

The weekend was a little tougher for me than the week was, mainly because I didn't have a set schedule and the activities were a little harder to plan around. I cashed in my cheat meal on Saturday night at a BBQ. When I woke up the next morning, I'd totally swelled up from drastic increase in sodium. So much so, than when I went bowling that morning I could barely fit my fingers in my bowling ball!

1 week down, 5 to go by Michael Ma

I can't believe that one week has already passed. I thought I'd surprise myself and wait until we are done with the diet to jump on the scale again, but i said, what they heck, let's just see what's going on. So 5 days into the diet on Friday, I got on my body fat sacle, and wow I was pleasantly surprised. I had lost 1.8 lbs, and about 1.1% of body fat. I like what I'm seeing! It definitely got me motivated to try even harder and keep pushing forward. Considering that I haven't even seen 1% improvement over the last 6 months in the gym for me, this definitely is the step in the right direction.

I've been following the book very strictly, and doing everything optional. Unfotunately I just got braces, and that's gonna impact my fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts consumption. Good thing we got smooties.
