Editor's Verdict:

The Abs Diet is one of the most famous, and successful diets for men on the market today. The Abs Diet has sold millions of copies worldwide and has featured in hundreds of publications - testament to its great success and wide, satisfied consumer base. The Abs Diet was developed by David Zinczenko, the editor-in-chief of Mens Health Magazine and has achieved international acclaim because of its simplicity, flexibility and most importantly, excellent, noticeable results. The Abs Diet Online is the website companion to the popular diet book, allowing users to combine the diet as written with a range of diet and fitness features intended to support the user and make it easier to follow the diet successfully.

The theory behind the Abs Diet is incredibly simple, but extremely successful. The greater muscle mass a person has, the more calories they burn per day through regular exercise and movement. The science is that, for every extra 1lb of muscle mass a person gains, they burn an additional 50 calories a day without dieting or altering their exercise regime. The Abs Diet aims to teach its dieters how to build more muscle by eating the right foods in such a way that the body burns fat faster (through gaining muscle mass) and thus, lose weight and fight the flab! The traditional Abs Diet lasts six weeks, during which time dieters are encouraged to consume only 'powerfoods' - almonds and other nuts, beans and pulses, spinach and other green vegetables, low-fat dairy products, instant hot oat cereal, eggs, turkey and other lean meats, peanut butter, olive oil, wholegrain breads and cereals, extra protein powder and berries. Although it is not necessary in order to see some improvement, users are also encouraged to do a specific 20-minute workout aimed at burning fat and improving muscle mass.

While the Abs Diet itself is incredibly successful, the website features provided by the Abs Diet Online ensure that dieters following this plan have the best possible chance of succeeding. Dieters get access to a wide range of recipes to show them how to incorporate the 'powerfoods' into their diet, and indeed, how to construct whole menus out of just powerfoods. Dieters using Abs Diet Online also get access to an excellent online fitness program builder, which develops intuitively to ensure that the program continues to be useful, even as you go further into your diet. Simply put, when you successfully complete a workout, the program adjusts future resistance levels so that every future workout will continue to be challenging. Users can also print out these personalized fitness plans and take a paper copy to the gym, to ensure that all workouts are effective. The Abs Diet Online also lets users track their progress, weight loss and resistance levels so that they can track their progress and gain substantial motivation from doing so. Finally, users can also chat to other Abs Dieters using the community features (chat rooms, forums and message boards) in order to share experiences of the Abs Diet, tips and advice.

It goes without saying that the Abs Diet is, primarily, geared towards men and thus the program (and the online tools) are unlikely to be particularly useful to female dieters. Whilst the site provides a great range of tools to support an Abs Dieter, most of these are focused on the fitness aspect of the Abs Diet (which, according to the diet itself is not a necessary element of the Abs Diet process) and so if users choose not to include these elements in their weight loss plan, the online services are less likely to be of use. That said, the site is excellent and easy to navigate and provides the user with an excellent online companion to accompany the Abs Diet book.
