The schedule for the Abs on the Go diet is relatively straightforward. It is split into two parts. You will eat high-protein/high-fat/low-carb during the weekdays and you will eat high-carb on the weekends.

Here is a chart to show you what you will be taking in during the week:

First, let’'s look at the weekdays. Monday to Friday, you will be restricting the carbs and pilling on the protein and fat. Nearly any meat and most cheeses will work. You can eat steak, hamburger, pork, and any other fresh, uncured red meats, white meats, and fish. When it comes to cheese, choose the full fat cheese rather than the skim variety. Avoid cottage and ricotta cheeses as well as cheese spreads as they are higher in carbs.

You can eat eggs, butter, margarine, and oils. Just make sure the oils are unsaturated and preferably cold pressed, which means that they are raw and will retain their full nutritional value. You can also eat nuts and seeds of any variety and make sure that you make your own oil and vinegar salad dressings as the commercial ones are high in carbs.

What about sugar? Oh that sweet tooth can really have you craving treats and that can be difficult to bear. However, there are a few solutions that will help tremendously in curbing the sugar cravings, or at least in assuaging them.

First of all, you are not saying to yourself, “"I can’'t eat that.”" What you are saying is, “"I have to wait until the weekend.”" That is much easier and feels less constrictive than saying the “"N”" word (Never!). When you really are suffering during the week, here are a few suggestions.

Any low-carb, sugar-free dessert is fine and you can drink diet soft drinks. Sugar-free Jello is really great and you can top it with carb-free whipped cream for a delicious treat. This can get you through many rough moments.

Being able to indulge on the weekends is such a great feeling. You have something to work toward and that is very comforting. You won’'t have to endure low-carb day in and day out every day. You might find that, in the beginning weeks of the diet, you binge on the carbs, maybe to the point of feeling sick. This is okay, as you progress through the diet, you will find it gets easier and easier.
