Unearthing a six-pack might not be as hard as you think. Here are a few facts to get you started:

* To significantly decrease fat covering the abdominal muscles, choose
the right calories: lean protein, fiber, whole grains, vegetables, and
good fats from olive oil and fish.
-- In a recent study, people who ate 21 grams of fiber a day weighed,
on average, eight pounds less and had a smaller waist-to-hip ratio
than those who ate only ten grams of fiber a day.
-- People who favored white bread over whole grains saw their waists
expand by about half an inch more per year over a two-year period.
(It wasn't that their total fat changed, but where they gained the
body fat.)
* Contrary to popular myth, you can't spot-burn fat, but you can spot-
tone to strengthen (and flatten) your abdominals. Try crunches one day,
trampoline jumps the next, and Pilates the third.
