Here's How to Eat — Not Exercise — Your Way to Washboard Abs

In the land of yoyo-style weight-loss, it’s pretty easy to shed a few pounds quickly. That’s the whole point of our guide to losing 10 pounds in 10 days — follow it strictly and you’ll be sure to drop some weight (mostly water weight) in no time. What’s the issue with losing weight quickly? It’s not a lasting, long-term approach to getting fit, and as soon as you hop off of the healthy eating train you’ll abruptly return to your old weight. Bummer, right?

Ridiculous fad diets and get-fit-fast methods serve some sort of purpose for those interested in a quick flushing of excess weight, but the path to true, sustainable weight-loss is a long and trying process. In order to avoid the bummers, you’ll want to take the long, foolproof path to exposing your abdominal muscles. We’ll show you how, over time, you can eat your way to a shirt-off-at-the-tailgate-worthy set of abs.
