One new diet Wend gives

billion hits.
Sometimes it’s a gimmick that at
tracts a dieter; often it’s infallible
promises to help them lose weight
easily, or better yet, effortlessly.
One of the newest diet trends
comes coated in neon orange — a
new trend dieters might just swallow.
“The Abs Diet: The Six-Week Plan to
Flatten Your Stomach and Keep You
Lean for Life,” by David Zinczenko,
has hit the market — and the wallets
— of those on the eternal quest for
rock-hard stomachs.
Defined abs aren’t “reserved for
athletes, for models, for body
builders, for trainers, for rappers, for
the half-dressed ‘talent’ on infomer
cials, for genetic freaks, for the lipo
suctioned and for people who would
classify celery as a dessert,”
Zinczenko said in the book.
Instead, he says they are an attain
able goal for the average American.
The fundamental principle of this
book is to build a stronger abdomen
to aid in weight loss by shaving off
health-hazardous belly fat.

burning; for every pound of muscle
gained, dieters need 50 extra calories
