Want a plan that allows you to eat whatever you want? On the six-week Abs Diet plan, you get to eat six times per day without counting calories, as long as you eat two or three “Powerfoods” at every meal—and for one glorious meal per week, you can eat anything you want. Through eating the Powerfoods (mostly protein and dairy) and following a prescribed exercise regime (heavy on the abdominal work, of course), this diet promises weight loss and a flatter stomach in six weeks. This, creator David Zinczenko says, will help decrease the risk factors for diseases such as heart disease and cancer, help resolve back pain, and improve your sex life.
What makes it different?
The Abs Diet combines a balance of food choices (heavy on protein, dairy, and high-fiber vegetables) with a targeted exercise plan to reduce belly fat and improve abdominal muscle tone. The program only lasts for six weeks, so it’s better viewed as a problem-solver than a lifestyle choice.

Nutritionist Review
As noted in the full nutritionist review, the focus on exercise with this diet is a real strength. However, without a detailed maintenance plan and not much attention devoted to portion control, this plan may be difficult to follow for a long period of time. Still, for short-term weight loss, this plan can be incorporated into your busy routines, especially if you stick to the sample seven-day meal plan for a few weeks.
