QUESTION: If a person hated training abs but dieted hard, could he or she see the same abdominal development results as someone who trained abs frequently?

ANSWER: Clean eating has many benefits: the removal of toxins from the body, additional micronutrient support for muscle building, and, of course, fat loss. When paired with the right cardio and weights program, a healthy diet can absolutely transform your body. This being said, if you never work a muscle group, the best you can hope for is to lean up your existing muscle mass and tone by reducing overall body fat. If you see an athlete out there who’s rocking shredded six-pack abs, you can bet your life that he or she is training that muscle group hard! Even if you wanted to try dieting to achieve ripped abdominals, it’s a well-known fact that you can’t target body regions for fat loss, so there’s no real way of knowing how long it will take to achieve that kind of definition in that specific area.
