If you’ve spent any significant amount of your waking life on Facebook, then you’ve probably seen the ad for the book Truth About Abs. Now, I believe that if you want to be successful, you study what successful people do. But that only half covers it. Look at doctors: they study diseases more often than they study healthy people. After all, most healthy people wouldn’t go to the hospital complaining about their excellent health.

Ever since puberty, I’ve been trying to get my six-pack abs. But my abs are like the elusive “kapre” – nobody’s really seen them, there are just some fuzzy pictures on the Internet, mostly posted on my website www.timtayag.com by me. So, I decided to download the Truth About Abs and get to work. So far I’m on my first week. But I realized that it needs a supplement – Truth About Flabs. And who else would be the authority on this topic but me. Here are my discoveries about flab:

Flab creeps up on you as you age. A donut when you’re in college doesn’t show up, but it manifests the next morning when you’re over 30.
San Mig Light doesn’t count in your 8 glasses of water a day.
Sitting up in the morning when you wake up doesn’t count as one sit-up.
If you’re exercising once a week, you’re probably better off just taking a nap.
People get flabbergasted because they’re too fat to deal with the truth.
Those diet pills only delay the inevitable and they give you bad breath.
Sex doesn’t burn as many calories as you think, especially if you’re going solo.
Jogging in the morning before eating breakfast doesn’t burn 300% more calories. It only makes you late for work.
Those ab machines that do all the work for you don’t work unless they actually inflict pain. Remember, no pain, you remain the same.
Wearing black doesn’t hide your beer belly. It just makes it harder to avoid in the dark. Same thing goes for vertical stripes.
Drinking L-carnitine in a sugary juice is like putting a vitamin in a donut and eating it.
Fat doesn’t convert into muscle. Muscle converts into more muscle.
When someone says you’ve gained weight but you look good, they’re lying, unless you were malnourished before. On a side note, you could be overweight and still be malnourished.
Bulimia works, especially if you’re a model.

The truth is, getting six-pack abs isn’t really complicated if you have any common sense. Just eat less garbage and exercise more; take in less calories and increase your physical activity. Of course, this is easier said than done.
