The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm
Get an online, desktop, or cell phone diet and fitness calculator. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html
It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.
Here are two articles on how to break through a weight loss plateau:

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.
*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com
Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier.

Oh yeah and those dudes are totaly right 5% bodyfat is like totaly impossible especially if your not anabolic
5% Body fat? sorry I do not believe you, even the POWs who came out of Auschwitz had more and if you are telling the truth then you do not have a "Six" pack but an "Eight" pack as that is how many "Visible" muscles are in the Abdomen..............but, lie on a weight bench and do "flyers" they will help your "Pecs"...
Simple answer to that one bud. You are a catabolic. There are two types of people catabolic, or anabolic (no that is not just a neat name for muscle enhancers, it is a physical state).
5% body fat is hard to get to for nearly anyone, not to mention kind of a risk factor.
Being as you are catabolic, what happens is that when you work out, if you over do it, aren't eating right or simply doing too much cardio, protein and some nutrients are "robbed" from your hard earned muscle. To help them grow more, work out at proper intervals, gain some weight (you need it to get gains), and keep on working on it and you'll get there.
youll find some great workouts for great abs and more in this article
Get a personal trainer or ask one of the guys in the gym which are the best excercises for it...get a lot of protein each time you work out too...
Well, you need to do more Pec work. There are more than just one exercises to do this. Each one works a different part of the pectoral muscle. Flys, benching, vertical benching, and a few more. You should check into it more online or ask some huge guy at the gym. I forgot the rest.
so do i have a 6-pack ....................you can have a can................you ............dick.........
