I know the best way to lose weight is to not target one body part, but all of them. Out of curiosity and wanting to lose my tummy, I wanted to see what each of you credit the MOST for weight loss/muscle gain in your abs?

    I think it varies on the individual. Along with overall workouts and REDUCTION in my intake of sugar (no juices, occasional desserts etc..) has helped me loose the padding that was around my mid-section.

    McDonald's. But my 6-pack is well-hidden under a keg. It's a work in progress.

    NO PROCESSED FOODS! I gotta say this is the biggest, along with NO sugar. Along with this goes even artificial sweeteners. If you must have it, use stevia. The most boring foods (produce, meat, oatmeal & brown rice) will always give you the most exciting body.

    Thank you! I think those foods are delicious anyway :)

    Started doing P90X in February. There's a workout called Ab Ripper, and it certainly is that. It's 12 different exercises with 25 reps of each followed by a final exercise with 50 reps just for fun. Thought I was going to die the first time I did the workout and couldn't do 25 without taking a break let alone the 50. Fast forward four months and I can now keep up with those in the video. Far from having six-pack abs, but I lost the keg and am a lot stronger in that area.

    Looking at my abs, I'd say pancakes and lots of them.
