Potential Benefits of the Abs Diet
The Abs Diet encourages people to eat healthy foods and exercise regularly, two lifestyle factors that can support a healthy weight and overall well-being. But, as Mayo Clinic points out, consistency is key in order to see lasting results.
Research suggests that simply wanting to lose weight or combat a chronic illness may not be enough motivation to stick with a healthier lifestyle over the long term. According to a small study published in 2022 in Inquiry, those most likely to adhere to a new diet are motivated by feeling better as a result of the change and continuously learning more about how diet impacts their overall health.
The Abs Diet also makes broad anticancer claims, noting that eating high-fiber, low-fat foods can help prevent certain cancers, as does increasing one’s calcium consumption. In a review of fiber intake and cancer risk in Nutrients, researchers say that there is evidence to suggest fiber intake may help prevent several different cancers, including colorectal, breast cancer, and gastric cancer.
The claim that calcium consumption reduces cancer risk may also hold some truth to it. According to a study published in 2025 in JAMA Network Open, consuming higher amounts of calcium from either calcium-rich foods or dietary supplements is associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer.
