Abs diet

Abs diet
I was wondering if any of you have tried the abs diet. Someone here had reccomended it to me. It seems to be pretty basic (a lot of the foods are food I already eat.) However, it's easier for myself to stick to a diet plan instead of guess on what I think is cheating and what is not.

Here are a couple links

I hear it's great as well for beginners, there are workout programs in it too. The book is awesome and a good easy read. I havent really done the diet fully but it is all the foods you should be eating, it's not really a diet but something to stick to for life. He even says one cheat meal a week basically what we are all told to do. Also you can get the book for cheaper through a book club like double day book club etc. Thats how I did it if you like to read that is. Do a search here and you will find loads of information, also on the mens health website there is a forum and you can look and read in there. Good luck!
