Throughout my late teens and early twenties I found time to go to the gym and be active. I had a relatively healthy lifestyle and my weight was never an issue. The crushing responsibility of adulthood was yet to wreak havoc with my metabolic rate. My first desk job required a move to the bright lights of the big city. The hours were long and I constantly craved sleep. I had no time for the gym or healthy meal preparation.
After a few years of living this insanely unhealthy lifestyle, it started to show outwardly. My hair and skin were a mess, but worse than this was the weight I’d gained around my abdomen. My clothes were all a bit too tight (especially all my jeans). My self esteem had fallen through the floor, I was embarrassed to be seen without my shirt on, be it on the beach or around the pool. I felt as though I’d been hijacked by visceral fat. I perfected the art of covering my body with layers of clothing to hide the fat belly.
This really was a low point in my life, I felt as though I’d given up and was slowly letting my body slip to the point of no return.
When I’d finally hit rock bottom, something just snapped and I made a decision to change my life. I changed my job and MADE the time to get fit and healthy again and get back in control of my life. I joined the gym and worked out three times a week. I filled my kitchen cupboards with healthy food. I needed to lose 25 lbs (11 kilos), after 6 months of the “new me”, I’d only lost 5lbs (2 kilos), not really the result I was after. I trained hard at the gym, I ran around the park in the mornings and I watched what I ate. The lack of results took a huge toll on my motivation and commitment. Here I was killing myself and for what. It was so easy to slip back into a world of PROCRASTINATION and fast food.
After spending weeks on the net looking for some help/advice/answers on how to lose the belly fat, I came across The Truth About Abs by Mike Geary. I’d already tried a high cardio exercise regime, I’d reduced my calorie intake, I was only eating healthy food and was doing crunch after crunch, however I wasn’t losing the stubborn stomach fat.
When I committed to buying The Truth About Abs and then committed to the program, the following happened:
- I developed a physique I’d only ever dreamt of having
- My self esteem and confidence went through the roof
- I had the healthy lifestyle I craved
- I had masses of energy
- I had more time to do the things I loved doing, because The Truth About Abs is not about spending hours in the gym or doing boring cardio
If you make the same commitment to yourself today, you could have that gorgeous beach body in time for summer.

My review of The Truth About Abs
The Truth About Abs is split into two sections. The first covers nutrition and the second exercise. The first thing you notice is that the book is long (149 pages) and very comprehensive. In fact it is a little daunting, but I persevered and spent the next few days, reading it from cover to cover. The style of the book is very clear and concise, there is no waffle, it literally is fact after fact. It is also pretty idiot proof (good for me). The reason I say this is that from a practical perspective, it holds your hand through the entire process. There are detailed diet plans with portion sizes and calories and every exercise is explained by way of photographs, so there is no room for misinterpretation.
The big question – Did it work for me?
At this point you really have to want to make it happen. The book can sit on your hard drive for months before you get round to it. You can procrastinate and delay, but like anything worth doing, you need to just get on with it and take it a step at a time. I probably had the toughest job from a fat perspective as I needed to lower my body fat by about 5% – which is the last bit of stubborn body fat that is particularly hard to lose unless you know how and Mike Geary’s book provides a complete blue print on how.
The Truth About Abs worked for me, because I made a commitment to myself and to be honest had wasted enough time already with all the other online junk. My target was my summer holiday, so that was motivation enough to get on with it.

Month 1
I learnt that literally everything I had been doing before, was wrong. I was eating the wrong foods (i.e. soya milk – thought it was great for me, turns out that it is quite the opposite – just google it to check) and my exercise regime was doing absolutely nothing to help me lower my body fat percentage. I was using single joint exercises, like dumbbell curls that don’t really do that much as opposed to multi joint exercises like squats that can increase your resting metabolic rate by as much as 7x. I was fatiguing and starving my body to the point that my metabolic rate was slowing and was in fact gaining some weight. How crazy is that, but we all do it.
Month 2
Once I’d put my nutrition and diet plan into place, the results were astonishing. Within a week, my stomach literally looked less distended (maybe it was psychological initially). But by the end of month 2, my upper abs were starting to show and most of the fat on my lower back was starting to go. I felt great and my energy levels were constant.
Month 3
It was in this month that it really started to happen and the great thing is, the more I started to see results, the greater my motivation. My clothes started to fit properly. I didn’t actually recognise myself in the mirror. Had never seen myself with a six pack – loved it. I’ve just hit my 30′s, I now weigh 170 lbs (77 kilos), I’m in the prime of my life and I feel incredible and my girl friend, well, she can’t keep her hands off me…..
Will it work for you?
The Truth About Abs will work, if you make a commitment to yourself. Find something that will motivate you like a beach holiday and go for it. My original goal was to just lose my belly, but the six pack was a real surprise and a great one at that. The key is to take each day at a time.
. Seriously, I didn’t lack the commitment, just the knowledge and expertise.
