Secret Flat Abs Foods
Since I was next to a beach for a few days in Florida, I was quickly reminded that bathing suit season is knocking on the door … it IS almost Memorial Day Weekend, after all … so I wanted to share some secrets.
"Secrets" to flatter abs.
Let’s be honest. The majority of questions we get aren’t centered around health.
People want to be hot. Not healthy.
Well, fortunately you can have both …
And often the questions we get are "what’s the QUICKEST way to lose fat?"
In other words — I haven’t really paid attention to my food or exercise all winter, but suddenly I have an event coming up…maybe it’s a wedding, a reunion, or time to put on a bathing suit. Just last night someone said to me "I’m NOT ready for bathing suit season."
One easy way to clean up your diet act is to replace 1 meal each day with a salad. When I say replace a meal with a salad, I mean a REAL salad.
The kind that actually can be a meal.
I’m not talking a little dinky side salad most are used to and then wondering why you’re starving 5 minutes later.
In fact one of my NFL players is doing just this — eating 1 large salad each day — and if it’s filling enough for him, it’s filling enough for you, too.
The key is adding a huge variety of veggies, some kind of lean protein (beans, hummus, raw nuts, grilled salmon, grilled chicken, etc) and not going crazy on the dressing. I want to show you what I mean, so I made a video of a typical salad at the Mohr House.
THIS is a salad that will help you reach your goals. And the benefit of adding lots of veggies to your diet? It will help you be hot AND healthy at the same time!

Good morning, Chris and Kara. I’m all for cutting up veggies in advance. It does make it much easier to choose eating a salad when everything’s easily at your fingertips and ready to go. But how the heck do you keep those cut-up veggies staying fresh?? What is the best way to store them? (The veggies just seem to turn ‘funky’ after a day or 2.)

Great question — by cutting them up and keeping them in a tupperware, they’re usually good for 4-5 days. Some veggies are definitely better than others.

Chris and Kara,
I am curious to know your thoughts on the new information just out regarding the use of pesticides and ADHD. Our family (including a 2 year old) eat a lot of fresh berries and this new study is quite troubling. I wash the berries as best I can, but I don’t feel this is good enough. I have found it hard to find organic strawberries and blueberries in the Lville area. Any advice??
Thanks!!
