In the text, he talks about "all-white omelets". Why does not he eat
the yellow?

Look at the second photo of him. Does not he look extremely skinny? He
says people ask him all the time about his abs? I would be more
worried about him eating enough than impressed wth his abs...

Personally, I lost a lot of weight (10 pounds) when I dramatically
reduced the carbs. I went back at the carbs (pizza, baggel, chocolate,
etc.) and I quickly gained back the weight, 10 pounds within 10 days).
No doubt about it, I have to get back to eggs, chicken, beef, fish,
veggies and brown basmati rice and a lot of oolong tea.

Man who wants six-pack revamps diet to consume 1 ¼ pound of meat and
16 eggs

Lean protein-heavy diet useful to getting a six-pack, nutritionist
says

By Madison Park

(CNN) -- Every day, Jason Dinant chows down 16 hard-boiled egg whites,
one and a quarter pound of meat and four cups of vegetables, sprinkled
with an occasional carbohydrate.

Jason Dinant does 150 crunches daily and eats lean protein in an
effort to turn his flat stomach into a six-pack.

1 of 2  The lean protein and carbohydrates, he hopes, will help him
get six-pack abs.

Two months ago, the 27-year-old began crunching initially 500 times a
day and exercising to try to turn his flat stomach into a rippling six-
pack.

His New Year's resolution is to get a six-pack by June, in time for
his 10-year high school reunion, and to have a toned upper body for
his video blog. Dinant, an iReport contributor, often peels off his
shirt and gives what he calls "the naked truth about today's news" in
Web videos he posts on his blog called "Naked Boy News." Watch

The Las Vegas, Nevada, resident submitted his story after
CNNhealth.com asked viewers to upload photos and videos about their
journey to change for the new year on iReport.com.

Last month, the svelte salesman by day and club emcee by night shared
his exercise routine, which consists of ab crunches, cycling on a
stationary bike and using weights for his upper body. Dinant, who had
hardly ever exercised, also had to modify his diet.

The former junk-food aficionado had to give up his chocolates and hard
candies for grilled chicken breasts, red potatoes, brown rice and
steamed carrots and zucchini.

Dinant's six-pack diet
Meal 1: 8 egg whites, 2 servings of cream of rice

Meal 2: 5 ounces lean meat or fish, 1 cup brown rice, 1 cup veggies

Meal 3: 5 ounces lean meat, 1 cup rice, 1 cup veggies

Meal 4: 5 ounces lean meat or fish, 6-ounce potato or sweet potato, 1
cup veggies

Meal 5: 5 ounces lean meat, 1 cup veggies, 6-ounce potato

Meal 6: 8 egg whites, 1 serving of cream of rice

Total calories: 2,054 "Everything is natural," Dinant said. "There is
no processed food, no junk stuff. People think that's crazy. They say,
'You're on a crazy diet. Why are you starving yourself?' People think
eating healthy is starving yourself, which I don't get."

He's far from starving himself. He eats nearly six meals a day to
increase his metabolism.

Jim White, a registered dietitian and American Dietetic Association
spokesman, reviewed Dinant's menu.

"This reminds me of what I was doing trying to get ripped for
bodybuilding competition," White said. "It's tough to follow, but you
can definitely get a six-pack with this diet."

Despite the diet's repetitiveness, "this is what it takes" for men to
get a six-pack, White said.

But White had some tips for an even better diet -- add more fat. Yes,
fat.

Fats compose 8 percent of Dinant's current diet.

"Even diets put together for weight loss or fat shedding, I don't
recommend under 12 to 15 percent fat," White said. "Some studies say
omega-3 fats can minimize body fat. ...You can get a six-pack while
incorporating fats in the diet."

Skip the saturated and trans fat and go for good fats found in
flaxseed oils, olive oil, natural peanut butter, nuts and avocados,
which are beneficial. And add fruits to the diet, White suggested.

"Fruits are loaded with fiber, vitamins, and I think you should
definitely have two fruits in the diet," he said.

Brown rice, oatmeal and sweet potatoes are great carbohydrates for the
diet, he said. There were some glaring similarities between White's
diet and Dinant's.

"This is pretty much my diet every day," White said. "I eat around
eight to 10 eggs a day. I always get asked if I'm baking a cake or
egging houses when I'm at the grocery."

Dinant said he's not sick of his diet, which relies heavily on the
same ingredients.

"I'm so used to eating the same things," he said. "I usually eat
chicken all the time. This is nothing new for me. You can season as
much as you want, as long as it's a no-sodium seasoning like garlic
powder or barbecue powder or barbecue rubs. It's tasty and good. It's
a little different."

Dinant can keep his diet interesting by adding healthy ingredients to
staples to make the foods taste better. For example, White suggests
adding fruits such as blueberries to a half-cup of oatmeal and veggies
and low-fat cheese to an all-white egg omelet.

In addition to revamping his diet, Dinant works out five times a week.
He has cut back his abdominal crunches to 150 a day using 25 pounds of
weight.

"My core abs are good. They're solid," he said. "When I do side
abdominals, I feel sore the next day. It's a good burn. I've been so
happy, I went tanning for the last two weeks. I look in the mirror and
I'm like, 'Wow.' "

He lost fat on the top of his midsection and said he definitely sees
his abs protruding in the lower midsection of his stomach. And his
quest has brought him some attention.

"I cannot go anywhere in Vegas without people asking me how my abs are
doing," he said.
