What is the number one component to getting a six pack? Your training style, nutrition, and mindset are all extremely important if you want to stand a chance at getting a six pack. However, if I had to choose 1 component that is most important, it would probably have to be nutrition. Maybe you've heard the saying before that abs are made in the kitchen.It really is true, and that's where the majority of people go wrong in the goal to get super lean. Of course, this also ties into mindset, because you really have to get your mind in the right place in order to have the discipline to be able to eat consistently clean enough to get six pack abs.
There's a lot of confusion out there these days about calories, fat, protein, and carbohydrates. Every "expert" disagrees with one another on proper ratios and types of diets. I think people make this way too complicated. If you are just to focus on a good balance between fats, carbs, and proteins, and make sure to eat only natural unprocessed organic foods instead of packaged, processed foods, a lot of the problems that most people have with cravings, a sweet tooth, overeating, blood sugar swings, etc all take care of themselves.
We still can't lose sight of the fact that you can overeat on healthy foods and gain fat even while eating healthy. Therefore, your caloric intake needs to be controlled to a level that will promote fat loss if that's the goal.
