6 MINUTE PRO
The 6 MINUTE Pro Diet revolves around a dozen delicious, convenient foods called
the Abs Diet Power-Foods. All you need to do is eat the acronym: Almonds and other
nuts, Beans and other legumes, Spinach and other green vegetables, Dairy (low-fat),
Instant oatmeal, Eggs, Turkey and other lean meats, Peanut butter, Olive oil,
Whole-grain breads and cereals, Extra-protein (whey) powder, Raspberries and other
berries.
Yup, you read that right: You get to eat healthy protein, healthy fats, healthy
carbs—there’s hardly anything you need to give up on this program. Ice c ream?
Sure, have it. Grilled cheese sandwiches? Yup. They're in.
These are among the best sources of protein, fibres, and all the other ingredients and
nutrients that help fight fat, says our US Certified ZUMBA Instructor Priyadharshan

exchange your fat for a toned, lean body and sexy abs. You can base entire meals and
snacks around them, but you don't have to. Just be sure to follow these simple rules.
* Incorporate two or three of these foods into each of your meals and at least one of them into each snack.
* Diversify your food at every meal to get a combination of protein, carbohydrates, and fat.
* Sneak a little protein into each snack.
Turbocharge the six Abs Diet guidelines by establishing these three simple habits of lean and healthy eating:
1. Prepare your own meals. As your number of home-cooked meals increases, your fast-food visits decrease. By cooking at home using the recipes in the next chapter, you'll automatically avoid huge restaurant portions and calorie
overload.
2. Eliminate added sugars. "This is the simplest way to clean up any diet," says Dharshan. Avoid putting sugar in
anything you eat. And stay away from soda, baked goods, fruit drinks, and sugary breakfast cereals.
3. Don't fear fat. Fats found in meat, dairy, avocados, olive oil, and nuts are filling and add flavour to meals, which will
help you avoid feeling deprived. For a rule of thumb, shoot for half a gram of fat for every pound of your desired body
weight.
