I was just wondering if anyone else out there has had success with the ABS Diet. I do a lot of nutrition and exercise studying and I really like principles of this book. It seems like basically eating healthily and exercising.

Link: Abs Diet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Many months ago I picked up a few issues of Men's Health (the people that developed the Abs Diet) and I did not really care for the magazine. Basically the diet is "exercise and eat healthy, trying to include at least a few of a given list of healthy foods". I looked into it for a while and tried adding almonds to my diet as another source of healthy-ish protein, but I did not think much of it.
It is not bad... it just... is not much of a diet. It is more or less, watch what you eat.
I think it is more or less a marketing scheme to sell the magazine, the five books, DVD workout, and audiobooks.

I really like it. I mean, strangely enough I was pretty much on it before I read any of the articles or books. It's very simple, you don't have a ton of rules and other BS that you're just going to break anyway. It's very similar in concept to the "un-diet" in the Body by God book. Most of it is all about eating naturally and exercising. I don't mean in an organic kind of way, but totally free of garbage, trans fats, things like that. Basically the same idea of "eating clean" that bodybuilders have talked about for years.
When I started following these concepts, the fat just absolutely melted off, I got a 6-pack pretty quickly, was cut more than I had ever been in my life, and my running and biking times were the fastest ever. I did this without counting much of anything. I counted protein but just kind of sloppily, I wasn't militant about it at all and didn't even do it regularly. So, basically, in my opinion, it's very premature for somebody to dismiss it as "not much of a diet"... when in reality, it works, and it's all the diet that alot of (of not most) people need.
In short, it's an entire lifestyle change, you can eat like this for the rest of your life. Most other "diets" cannot offer this.
Their new thing is the "TNT diet". Very similar, but more structured, especially in the exercise department. They haven't really been marketing the abs diet stuff anymore.

My god, how did they work that one out?
Just kidding... I haven't heard of the ABS diet really... broadly speaking what's it involve?
