Abs are mostly about cutting down body fat percentage, like Dale said, to below 10%. To to this, hit a low carb diet without cutting back on proteins, and try to increase your intake of good fats (mono- and polyunsaturates, like you get in olive oil). Keep hitting crunches and planks, but I'm afraid it's a lot of grilled chicken breast and steamed veg for you m'lad.

Spot on....although I dont agree about the mono-poly fad
Saturated fat from grass fed (and well kept) animals, coconut oil, raw dairy is good for you
