   Yes. . . you can do it, you more than likely don’t have the testosterone to build up to be overly big so dont worry about that aspect of it
   then If you do see yourself starting to look like you dont want to it just involves stopping

   I’m not on the abs diet but I follow many of the suggestions to lose fat and maintain lean muscle mass. This is not a bodybuilder’s diet. I’ve lost 3 inches in my jean size and 1 inch in my jacket size. I stick to their 12 power foods belief, minus the meat since I’m vegan. My advice is to impliment some of their suggestions. On a side note- I did read an men’s health article recently stating that the abs diet ain’t strictly for the fellas.

   Yes you can. Although the book was written by the Editor in Chief of Mens Health magazine he designed the book to be for men and women. Some of the success stories in the book are from women. It’s not really so much a diet either, as it is a lifestyle guide. The Abs Diet Power foods for instance are great recommendations for any person.

   Take almonds for instance. Experts around the world are united in their view of the health benefits that almonds provide to both men and women. In fact, recently in Fitness Magazine (for women), they listed Almonds as one of their top 5 foods for burning belly fat.

   The foods the book lists are to help shed fat and keep your metabolism high so that you will see your abs. The exercises are geared so that either men or women can perform them. Take for instance the bicep curl. For men looking to get big arms they would use heavy weight for 6-10 reps. For women looking to tone their arms they can use light weight for 15-25 reps. So yes the book can certainly be enjoyed by women and I certainly recommend you give it a try because it is a good read and a good program.

   Yes, and I highly recommend it. It is the most sensible, healthy eating plan I’ve ever come across. I am a 26 year old woman and lost 20 pounds on it and have kept every ounce off. I still follow the principles in it. You just have to start it and then cater it to work for you. I never had protein shakes or added flax to my smoothies but I still lost a lot of weight.
