On a groggy Tuesday morning, sitting amongst the bunch of unread emails in my Inbox was this from my man. It’s actually a pretty good article on how to eat and live towards every workout addict’s dream - Ribbed Abs.
.
Basically, the 10 nutrition strategies outlined in the article are as below :
- Whey less
- Bone up on dairy
- Eat large quantites of food
- Eat often
- Drink green tea
- Ban trans
- Eat fatty fish
- Be wary of sugar-free products
- Don’t be so sweet
- Quit Boozing
*To understand more about these 10 strategies, read up on the article as shared at the very beginning of this post*

He : “Looks like I must eat more often as per strategy # 4.”
Me : “It’s not #4 that is a problem. Read # 10. Our weekend lifestyle ain’t exactly in-line with that.”
He : “Ok wat…at least not daily…”
Me : “Read #10 again, baby. Especially the ones highlighted in red.”
.
Here is what it says :
“If you are going to drink alcohol, at least drink wine and get a few antioxidants. But seriously, cut the alcohol.
Do you know anyone who has ripped abs and still drinks on a regular basis (and yes, weekly counts as regularly!)? No, you don’t, unless they are a genetic freak of nature. And, if you were a genetic freak of nature with naturally rock-hard abs, you probably wouldn’t be reading this article.”
.
So, our options are clear. Have fun on weekends with not-so-ribbed abs OR have boring weekends with super-ribbed abs.
.
Sigh. Life is so filled with tough decisions, eh?
is it that tough for you babe?
Toughhhhhh!! Cos boozing on weekends is our only salvation from the madness and stress we go thru during the week mah. And you saw my bar - stocked to the brim for parties. How to abstain lah???? Yeah we admit, boozing is our biggest vice. Sigh….
