1) Eat 5 Rather than 3 Meals a Day
This is essential. Eating 5 small meals rather than three big ones throughout the day will work wonders for your metabolism. When you only eat three large meals your body quickly digest the food then is left with nothing to break down for hours afterward. It is at this point where your body tears into your muscles for the energy it needs to keep going. However, if you eat 5 smaller meals throughout the day you won't run into this problem. Your body will always have enough food to break down and your muscles will benefit immensely.
2) Drink Plenty of H2O
No one drinks enough water through the day. And the health benefits to this expands greater than just your abs. Studies have shown that people who drink more water throughout the day are both healthier and more energetic. 2-3 liters of water a day is the recommended amount, all depending on your weight. While it may seem tough at first the benefits are enormous and by substituting some of that H2O intake with gatorade it's very doable.
3) Eat Whole Instead of Refined Grains
This is also a significant factor in how fast you progress. Whole grains contain the insulin and glucose your body needs to get itself throughout the day. Studies have shown people with a higher intake of whole grains lose weight faster than those who don't eat any at all. This is key, as I said before, your abs will only show if your body fat percentage is low enough.
