Thanks Osesame for such a useful information, most of the foods you described in this article are came into the category of healthy power foods.

I love to read nutrition books and the best nutritional diet book i ever read is " ABS-DIET", which is basically about the most healthy food which make our immune system robust and the body gains more muscles and loose maximum possible body fats. The biggest factor which contributes to illness deals with weak immune, block arteries and flab around mid-section which results due to consuming bad fats (Saturated and hydrogenated vegetable oils, which is also termed as Trans Fat), refined/bad carbohydrates and refined/bad sugar and sugar substitutes.

Here is the brief summery of health food cheat sheet:

The ABS DIET POWER 12 Base most of your meals on these 12 groups of
foods. Every meal should have at least two foods
from the list.

ABS DIET POWER:

A =Almonds and other nuts
B=Beans and legumes
S=Spinach and other green vegetables

D=Dairy (fat-free or low-fat milk, yogurt, cheese)
I=Instant oatmeal (unsweetened, unflavored)

E=Eggs (Organic ones are best)
T=Turkey and other lean meats (Chicken breast piece)

P=Peanut butter (look for non trans/hydrogenated one)

O=Olive oil (Canola and soybean are other alternatives)
W=Whole-grain breads and cereals
E=Extra-protein (whey) powder
R=Raspberries and other berries (most fruits like apple, banana etc  

Include these 12 power foods in your meals and hope you will sculpt the action hero body with in six weeks….... 

thanks for the post Blink.....also sport who can give this food the ability to act in the body….but coz we have a little time or lazziness coz of recent pattern of life, we failed to apply all what we know….our garndfathers no nothing and they were healthy than us …coz the life was not harmonized and they use their body in daily life , not as us

what a pitty!!!..

Yeah agree Osesame, Weight training, cardiovascular workout and Abs exercises are must with taking 'ABS DIET' plan.

The more muscles we have the more healthy foods we will need to retain and regain. 

1 lb of pure muscles need  50 extra calories to retain.
