I just picked up the latest issue of Oxygen magazine.  It's their special ab issue.  I would recommend anyone reading this to get this issue.  It's full of great tips, receipts for getting some nice toned abs!  (Summer 2008 issue).

I'm taking this exert from the magazine.  It's tips to watching your stomach muscles appear.

Facts of Life

Stick to the list and water the definition happen.

• Eat six small meals per day.
• Eat lean protein and complex carbohydrates at every meal.
• Lean protein can come from lean poultry, fish, egg whites, soy beans, legumes, lentils, and limited nuts (remember, we are going for defined abs)
• Complex carbohydrates come from fresh fruit and vegetables and whole grains.
• Drink plenty of water everyday- at least 3 liters of almost a gallon.
• Avoid all processed, refined and chemically charged foods.
• Avoid sugars, except for naturally occurring sugars in fruit.
• Avoid trans and saturated fats.
• Avoid sodas and juices since they contain loads of sugar, either fake or real.
• Limit treats to one per week rather then an entire day.
