A member asked:

I'm 20, 5'6, weight 140lbs, i workout, and i want my abs to show (reach less then 10% body fat). what is a good diet for that (an idea at least)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lifestyle change: The key will be to avoid greasy and sugary stuff, and any thing you really like and tend to overeat. As you do more aerobic exercise, your brain will help you know what you really need to eat. Wishing you the best, and glad you're undertaking a fitness lifestyle.
