The Abs Diet Power 12

As promised I am getting back to my roots....I am now starting to read my Abs Diet book again. Well, according to the book there are 12 essentials power food, hence the acronym: A.B.S.D.I.E.T.P.O.W.E.R. These 12 foods make up a large part of your diet. The more of these foods you eat, the better your body will be able to increase lean muscle mass and avoid storing fat.

Almonds and other nuts
Beans and legumes
Spinach and other green vegetables

Dairy (fat free or low-fat milk, yogurt, cheese)
Instant oatmeal (unsweetened, unflavored)
Eggs
Turkey and other lean meats

Peanut butter
Olive oil
Whole-grain breads and cereal
Extra-protein (whey) powder
Respberries and other berries

Well I think this is enough information for now. I havent strictly follow this diet though, although I must say the smoothies really works, and it keep you full for a while longer. Ahhhh but then temptation is just everywhere. And its easy to pester my sis to reduce carb and fatty food, but face with the same problem its a whole lot of different ball game. It was only yesterday, that I had a business lunch and the food was just to die for, luckily I am restricted to sea food diet only, otherwise I'll just jump in into the rare steak! Yummy! When I get back to the Office, my colleage presented me with Belgian Chocolates (I told myself, one is alrite, but I ended up with 4 (or was it more?) portions). Another colleague gave me an Oats and Honey Bar (which I havent eaten yet...) and another one gave me macaroni for dinner (it was meant for lunch but since I have prior engagement). As my sister so fond of saying " arjiki jangan ditulak". Oh I was chatting with my cousin yesterday (you know who you are.....) and she detailed out her daily diet. It sounds impressive! Alas for her snacking, she gave me the shock of my life....we'll keep it between ourselves for now and see if she can maintain her diet! Or maybe she'll make use of the Power 12, detailed above.

Well, try it everyone, atleast for a week and get back to me and see whether the food really works! I am also thinking of doing fruit only diet just for three days, to detox....
