He Inspired His Wife and His Son

Last year, Bill Bartz made a New Year's resolution: He wanted to see his six-pack before the end of the year. He had been lifting weights regularly for 15 years, so he had a lot of bulky muscle mass, but he was missing the definition.

"I saw the author on Good Morning America on the Fourth of July, and I thought, hmmmmm," Bartz says.

"So I decided to get the book. I just started reading it and it all made sense. And what I really liked was how it took other diets and blew them apart."

So Bartz decided to jump on The Abs Diet, and the pounds jumped off.
"One day, as I was getting out of the shower with a towel wrapped around me, my wife said, 'Whoa, that thing is working.'" So Bartz's wife, Kathy, joined in, too. With not much weight to lose, Kathy went from 126 pounds to 118.

Bartz took ab-specific classes 3 days a week at the gym, continued lifting weights, and incorporated interval training into his workouts.

But maybe the best outcome of the program is what it's done for his overall health. He's taking part in a clinical study in which his blood pressure is measured every 6 months. Since he started, his BP dropped from 130/90 to around 115/70.

"When I went there, they were blown away," he says. "Right away, they noticed a difference in weight and they noticed a drastic drop in blood pressure. The nurse even wanted the name of the book so she could get one for her husband."

Bartz has been spreading the word about The Abs Diet— now, he's in competition with his 25-year-old son in a race for the first one to get a six-pack. His son isn't on The Abs Diet—and he's losing out. Bartz says, "Last Saturday, I sent him a picture and he said, 'Dad, that's not you. You found that picture on the Internet.'"
