A good diet my old wrestling coach taught me: we would cut out all starches out of our diets, including breads, pastas, potatoes, rice, and the like. You'd be surprised how much of a difference eliminating preprocessed starch products out of your diet will do. That was probably the most ripped I ever was in my life was when I was on that diet. We ate plenty of protein, fruits, and veggies during the day and my abdominals were so well-defined I remember having to clean them out with a Q-tip because my hooded sweatshirts would always get lint in them. It's still decent to this day but never to where it was back then. Worth a shot
