I've skipped reading this book for a while because of all the hype buzzing around this book on the web. To my surprise, this was a no fluff book packed with pretty much everything you'd need to know about cutting your body fat percentage and exposing your six pack. I was even more surprised to discover how much of an emphasis this book placed on health and couldn't have agreed more.

What a load of controversy surrounding this fitness course! Well, what's the truth? The first truth is that the majority of problems people have had is because they haven't bought it from the right place, ie www.truthaboutabs.com. Why? Because this is an online course - a series of DVDs, meal plans and exercises and you need a genuine log in to access the online portal, track your progress and get all the course materials, updates, tips, tricks etc as you progress through the course. Having read reviews online the biggest issue people have had is accessing the course, saying they bought the course but couldn't access it etc. That is because they bought it from some dodgy link online and it wasn't the right website! So, the link you need to access the course and qualify to try it for 60 days is www.truthaboutabs.com .
Moving on to the actual course, so I'm that typical guy who has problems around the middle. I was skinny with a little soft belly! I exercised all the time, did weights, sit-ups, running etc and have been doing so since my early 20s. What you learn in this course is... none of that works!! As crazy as it sounds, there's a very good reason. Our biology is based on us maintaining optimum body shapes through particular diets and through short intensive bursts of specific exercise - think about early man hunting... stalk, stalk, sprint to catch the prey.
This human biology is what Mike Geary has studied and he has written the entire program - exercise, meals etc, around the design of human beings. There's no silly 'low cal, low fat' foods to buy - that stuff is all nonsense and poison. So, no ongoing costs and a fantastic, comprehensive diet course and exercise program for the price of a 30 minute personal training session.
Finally my chubby belly has gone and despite doing far less heavy weights, the training programs he walks you through have genuinely increased my muscle mass and reduced fat, which has given me great definition. You can find out all about the course at www.truthaboutabs.com .

Good advice on nutrition, and good descriptions of numerous excercises to get your metabolism firing. Geary knows what he is talking about too, his excercise programmes are based on many years experience in the field. For those who are curious as to what the big secret is to getting the 'washboard' look, it's simply this: get your body fat down to 10% or less! Following the tips in this book will help you achieve this, you don't even need to join a gym.

This book is a miracle. I used it for two months and the results were fabulous. I am again trying to pull it off for another miracle.
January 17, 2021
I bought it in January 2012 and within 3 months it had already changed my physical and mental life for the better. I learned from it and follow it always - it changed my life forever. Having been a product of diets my entire life, it took the writing of Mike Geary to help me realize that diets do not work, and you have to make a lifestyle change.
At 5'-8" I was 243 lbs with a 42.5 inch waist. My cholesterol was borderline pre diabetic, and I was never happy. Within 1 year all the bad numbers dropped and the good went up. My Dr. could not believe it.
To be perfectly clear, it is was ME who had to invest the time and energy to not only cook and eat the real foods, but make the time to exercise. I did it. It never was a chore nor is it now. The results kept me wanting to be better. I lost about 68 lbs total, was as small as a 33 inch waste - I hover around a 34. I do allow certain cheat foods once and a while, but to be honest, I never really liked fast food before I started, so that was easy. I do love my Margherita and Marina Pizza, but it's not a weekly or daily thing - I have it maybe once a month. Now, walking outside along A1A in Ft Lauderdale when I go down there, I no longer wear a 'tank top' for fear of my muffin tops, manboobs or barely defined stomach -those are gone and I never want them back! I am twice the age of most of the people walking and I feel amazing and proud! Not a show off, but PROUD!
One simple statement I distinctly remember from Mike Geary is:
How bad do you want it!?
I wanted it and I got it. I thank you for changing my life forever!

It took me from June 2012 (when I bought this manual) till about 2016 or so when I reached my happy goal (or critical mas in the financial market haha) . Now I'm just refining and sculpting. Eating clean is a way of life for me. When I’m out with friends or clients and clean food is unavailable, I just eat the safest thing on the menu – it’s really very simple. And I don’t have the cravings for the garbage I used to have. Once in a while I eat Gelato, and I still have my Margherita Pizza maybe once a month, but to be honest, I got so used to eating clean food, I really don’t crave the bad stuff at all very much – certainly not like I used to. And when I do, I just have it and get it over with! Like Mike Geary says, "YOU ARE NOT DEAD" lol
Here’s the deal, if you read the manual in its entirety, everything he says is so well documented and researched, and if you FOLLOW IT, you WILL get amazing results. What he is saying is to EAT REAL FOOD! And the foods he recommends actually help you lose weight. What I have also earned, and see it every day in the gym, is that you can do all the exercises you want, but if your diet is crap, then your results will be the same. It all begins in the kitchen! And when it comes to fat loss he tells you 'LEAN MUSCLE MASS IS THE BEST FAT BURNER' – how is that bad advice?
Mike Geary NEVER said Cardio was ‘bad’, what he said was LONG SEGMENTS OF CARDIO can end up burning more lean muscle mass than SHORT SPURTS like HIIT! After reading that comment from the user from October 2008 who said Mike Geary is ‘against Cardio’ not only proved that this person is ignorant, but also how rumors and bad information can be dangerous.

Before I came across The Truth About Abs I had been doing daily sit ups for months and wondering why my stomach actually looked BIGGER than when I started.
Thanks to this book I discovered that I was simply tightening up the muscles under the LAYER OF FAT that covered my belly which did actually results in making me look bigger round my middle...
So, I have now learned from this book what foods and which type of exercises burn that fat layer and which stomach exercises actually then work best to create flat abs!
Highly recommended, it worked for me: http://bit.ly/truthaboutabsbook

I ordered your 'Truth About Six Pack Abs' using the special discount link: http://www.truthaboutabs.com-private.....
I have been doing some of the beginner and intermediate level workout routines. HOLY CRAP, those workouts get me sweating like nothing else. I especially love/hate the squat presses and renegade rows.
I'm also starting to get the hang of your diet methods, which are actually more enjoyable than the way I used to eat. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for the useful info and your obvious care for healthy lifestyles of your readers.

I found this to be a serious book about exercise which was what I was looking for. I am in the process of identifying the workout that will help me reach my goals. I did not read the last chapter about diet because I am already in the process of reading Mike Geary,s book, The Flat Belly Kitchen.

I thought that it was okay. But it did not go into any specific foods to help fight belly fat.

The truth about six pack abs is not one from 100's 'get-rid-100-pounds-in-3-days' scam-books. It really works, but not in 3 days
