abs are made in the kitchen

ABS are forged in the gym and made visible by what is done in the kitchen.

I am going to try doing this diet idea of eating clean 90 percent of the time. Meaning I avoid sugary, processed foods all day everyday except for the 3-4 cheat meals i allow myself per week. One cheat meal a week is NOT enough. But anyway, when i went vegan a while ago I hardly watched what i ate and had flat abs. Maybe not abs (i don't have enough muscle tone yet to get them) but when i eat healthy the weight just falls off. So i agree with your trainer, but obviously you need to do cardio and ab exercises too. But it's mostly what you eat that reflects your abs. if there's too much fat on your abs from eating too much crap, then it doesn't matter how many sit-ups you do. They will be covered in fat. P.S. it takes 30 days to break a habit, so if the diet is hard now, wait for a month and see if it's sustainable for you. If you feel deprived, then this diet you're on isn't for you and you will not be able to sustain it long term
