That was the diet tweaks I made between those two pics. If you look at the first pic I clearly already have abs. That's all I did to make them more visible. And it's not like I went from eating pizza and pop tarts to suddenly salt and asparagus

Your protein should be high. Especially when cutting. Keep it at least a gram to body weight (150lbs =150g). However, go with chicken breast or white fish. Time your carbs around your workouts and the rest of your carbs should come from green veg

Thank you!

No, I stated small diet tweets assisted in dropping 2.5 pounds and making my abs visible. Not that salt and asparagus magically give you abs Thank you!

I'm not saying asparagus and salt are magical things! Clearly I have abs in both pics. That's just what I changed/used to make it go from one to the other. The reduction of carbs plus diuretic plus elimination of water = more defined/visible abs! Jeeez!

Yes

April 4-5 asparagus with each meal, eating 6 meals a day and a twist

The salt helps with preventing fluid retention and asparagus is a natural diuretic. Combining the two I find makes my abs appear more. My workout routine remained the same. But again, it's not like I just added these two things in and that was it. I already had a strict diet

I stated previously that I was on a strict diet for 5 months and that was simply the changes in my diet in the last two weeks between those pictures when preparing for a show, along with a minor carb decrease. By no means did I mean that Salk and green veggies give you abs lol

I personally do think it has benefits. But that's just my opinion

But thank you for belittling the hard work and strict dieting I've done for the past 5 months to get to where I am now.

It's unfortunate how narrow minded people can be. I'm a bikini competitor and I don't eat these things "occasionally." There was zero pump in the second picture. If anything I was flat and lacking water. Both were taken on an empty stomach. Little tweaks each week in my prep DO make a huge difference clearly because you…

My diet in the first picture was extremely strict. I did not simply add salt to a meal like pizza or pasta, and bam, have abs. I was eating very clean, chicken, fish, greens, and rice. By switching out certain veg and reducing carbs, I was able to see these changes

Well you also are unaware of what my diet was before, and my workouts. But switching my veggies and timing the salt with water consumption did assist.

Added Himalayan salt to my pre workout and post workout meal. Also switched all veg to zucchini and asparagus

3 week difference. just a few small diet changes can really change your body composition

The way I looked at it was if I'm eating healthy, but the scale isn't moving, then something else must be happening. Take weekly pictures. That's another thing I did to track progress and that made a huge difference

I eat 6 meals a day. Each have some protein source (egg whites, chicken, white fish) with veggies. I include carbs (basmati rice, oatmeal, potato) in the meals before and after my workout

I'm 5'4 and started at 128lbs. Which isn't an unhealthy weight by any means, but I felt uncomfortable. I am also a bikini competitor, so I'm used to doing strict diets for a period of time up to a show. However, this time I wanted to just lose weight and be comfortable. I had, and continue to have, 2 coaches that developed…

Thank you!

I did fasted cardio in the mornings (stairs, incline walk, spin bike) before work around 5am. After work, I would lift weights for about an hour, depending on how busy the gym was and what body part I was doing. I did legs twice a week, shoulders, back, chest, and arms, all on separate days. The MAIN FACTOR in all this =…

I did fasted cardio in the mornings before work, and heavy lifting after work, with each day focusing on different body parts

It wasn't easy. I had a strict diet and daily workouts with cardio sessions. The first two months I only lost 1 pound. Very easy to give up, but you have to trust the process and progress will come!!
