A key factor in the diet’s success is the meal plan, with its healthy, great-tasting, easy recipes featuring the Abs Diet 12 Powerfoods. Now, to meet the demands of today’s time-strapped society, Zinczenko and coauthor Ted Spiker present The Abs Diet 6-Minute Meals for 6-Pack Abs to help readers make the right food choices—in less time than it takes to pick up a meal at a drive-thru. The Abs Diet 6-Minute Meals for 6-Pack Abs features: • 101 6-minute recipes: fast and easy recipes like Barbecue Chicken Pizza, Smokehouse Salad, Summer Vegetable Couscous, and more • the 12 Abs Diet Powerfoods, plus what makes them nutritional powerhouses and how they increase lean muscle mass and discourage storing fat • shopping lists, appliance recommendations, and more • a 7-day meal plan (for those who prefer not to mix-and-match) • a bonus chapter with 60-minute Sunday creations and 15-minute meals when you have more time This user-friendly cookbook is the perfect resource for followers of The Abs Diet as well as anyone who wants to change their body to improve their health, their looks, or their athletic performance. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - too simplisticI found the recipes and guidance to be too simplistic in this little book, but then again, maybe that is the idea. :-) Rating:  - Not very many new recipesIf you buy only one of the Abs Diet books, this isn't a bad one. It does goes into the diet for about a third of the book, so you don't really need the other books as far as that goes. It also has some ideas for menus as well as some exercises you can do at home. I do like the conversion chart he has in the back of the book for overseas readers, as it has not only oven temps and weight conversions, but also pan size conversions. Very useful if you like to collect recipes from other countries. Read More Rating: - Best Diet CookbookI have really enjoyed this cookbook. It has a variety of different meals to cook on this diet. The only thing that lacks is the time that it takes to cook the meals. I know it says 6 mins but actuality it is more like 10-15 minutes. Rating: - DisappointingThis books simply seems like another way to make money using the Abs Diet label. The original book was great and even the follow-up but this adds very little -- maybe a couple of new recipes here and there. I did not need all the information about the Abs Diet all over again -- I just needed recipes -- very disappointing. Next time, I'll check something out at the library first because I never would have purchased this book if I had seen it first. Rating:  - Not for the Kindle....This might be a really good book - but who can tell? I bought the Kindle edition and it's nearly impossible to read any of the lists, charts, etc. and the font size of said lists can't be altered. If you want this book... do yourself a favor and consider buying the actual book instead of the Kindle edition! |
