Get A Flat Belly Without Being Perfect - By: Todd Scott

What if I told you to lose belly fat, you would only have to do 3 things?

What if I told you that the 3 things you had to do to get rid of your belly fat, that you wouldn’t even have to be that great at it?

Yeah, that’s right. You could be horrible at these 3 things, but as long as you do them you’ll still lose stomach fat.

To truly get six pack abs, lose stomach fat and flatten your belly, you don’t need to be perfect in all 3 things, you only need to be mediocre, and here they are:

Nutrition – In a perfect world you can eat chicken and broccoli for every meal, even breakfast. But the fact of the matter is, this isn’t a perfect world. If you get 75% of your diet right each day, you’ll be sitting pretty in just a few short months. Think about it, if you eat 4-5 meals per day, you only have to get 3 ¾ of the meals just right each day to lose stomach fat. Would you want to learn how to do that?

Weight Training – I use this term loosely. You don’t have to train with weights, but you need to get some sort of resistance exercise that goes above and beyond what a normal day usually entails. Maybe it’s two 45 minute workouts per week and one 20 minute workout. Maybe it’s four 20 minute workouts. It doesn’t matter in the whole scheme of things as long as it’s outside of your normal daily activity. Again, it doesn’t have to be perfect.

Cardio Training – This one is a doozy. You can actually lose stomach fat and get sexy abs without doing cardio at all, but it does help burn stomach fat if you have the time to do it. I’d recommend some form of cardio training at least 2 days per week (not 4 days, not 5 days, but 2!) to speed it up. Like I said earlier, it doesn’t have to be perfect, just mediocre. Maybe it’s two 30 minute cardio sessions one week, and four forty minute sessions the next. One workout can be interval training and the next can be slow steady cardio. It can and should vary constantly. Keeping it varied will prevent your body from adapting, and keep you from getting bored.

So the key is to be, at the very least, mediocre at all three of these aspects of your program. You don’t have to go out and kill it at every workout. You don’t need to do cardio every single day. You don’t need to eat chicken breast and broccoli at every meal. You just need to get out and get moving. Get 75% of it right, and you’re on the right track.

Ideally, you’ll create the “perfect” plan consisting of nutrition, weight training, and cardio. A plan that if in a perfect world, you’d be able to do easily. Then simply aim to get it 75% right each and every single day.
