Do you want that six pack? Bottom line, The RevAbs Philosophy of Nutrition works!
This nutrition plan provides healthy meals, snacks and recipes, in the right portions and ratios to help you get flat, firm abs without starvation or deprivation. The nice thing about this plan is that it will take you through the 90-day program and the rest of your life!
There are some basic principles that we will outline here. There is also a 14-day Jump Start plan that is recommended if weight loss is one of your primary goals and you want to accelerate your results.
First, let’s look at the 14-day Jump Start plan principles:
- Eat Frequently – at least 5 meals a day
- Limit Your Portions – or just count your calories but adjust calories as needed and taper them throughout the day
- Eat Lean – the best ways to cook are steam, grill, roast, bake, poach, broil or stir-fry
- Eat Your Vegetables – use fresh, in-season produce whenever possible
- Eliminate starch and sugar – even fruits
- Decrease salt intake – reduces water retention
- Avoid Dairy – cheese, butter and other dairy products
- Hydrate! – minimum of 64 oz of water a day
- Limit Alcohol – avoid alcohol for at least the first 2 weeks
- Don’t Fear Fat – monosaturated fat that is found in avocados and nuts
- Supplements – Don’t forget Shakeology
Calories and Schedule
Caloric intake in RevAbs has been simplified to a general range for both men and women. Make adjustments as needed. If you require more calories, add an extra ounce or two of protein to each meal and/or choose 1 additional snack each day. Eat breakfast within 1 hour of waking and stop eating approximately 3 hours before bed.
WOMEN
Meals 250-300 calories
Snacks 100 calories
Total 1000-1100 calories
MEN
Meals 275-300 calories
Snacks 150 calories
Total 1100-1200 calories
As you can see, the calorie intake is pretty low and this is not recommended to follow for more than 2 weeks.
Now let’s look at the 90-day plan which can be followed for the 90 days and the rest of your life!
The principles:
- Eat Frequently – at least 5 meals a day
- Limit Your Portions – or just count your calories but adjust calories as needed
- Eat Lean – lean protein, fruits, vegetables and healthy fats
- Eat Your Vegetables – use fresh, in-season produce whenever possible
- Eat Fruit – but limit portions, eat them early in the day and eat high-fiber fruits
- Carbs Are Cool – whole grains instead of processed white carbs and NEVER more than in 2 meals a day

- Hydrate! – minimum of 64 oz of water a day

Anything Else?
What time of day should you workout? This is highly individualized. DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU. I personally recommend working out first thing in the morning so that you can focus on nutrition the rest of the day. I drink about 1/3 of the P90X Results & Recovery Formula just before starting my workouts, sip on it during the workout and then guzzle what is left.
