Also, forgot this whole "6-pack" thing.
If you cut your total carbohydrate intake, specifically carbs that contains glucose, your body tends to using the fat stored in the adipose tissue surrounding your abdomen. It tends to be the first place, or one of the first places, your body will send fat if it is getting its fill of "immediate-energy" with carbs. Cut total carb intake, and the body will be forced to tap into the energy stores.
Almost everyone has abdominal muscles that will show the classic 6-pack definition, but they are obscured by a layer of engorged adipose tissue that sits on top of the abdominal wall. If you cut into that layer of fat, the muscles are more likely to become visible.
The big thing of exercise and nutrition in regards to showing massive and well-defined abdominal muscles, is a balance between building those muscles and keeping the fatty layer on them as minimal as possible. "Toning", or "increasing muscle definition", has less to do with increasing muscle mass, and more to do with cutting fat surrounding muscles.
