Jamie Eason's Livefit Trainer — Phase 1, Day 13

Jamie Eason's LiveFit Trainer: Day 13

If we were racing cars, today would be another pit stop! Give your body some R&R and a healthy pat on the back.
by Jamie Eason Aug 26, 2011

If we were racing cars, today would be another pit stop! Give your body some R&R as well as a pat on the back for a job well done. But if you're looking for a good brain buster to pass time, I'll school you a little bit on almonds!

So delicious and nutritious! Almonds contain a beautiful combination of healthy fats (yes, they exist) and protein.

My favorite almond foods include almond butter, almond milk (minus the sweeteners and additives), or even just a plain old bag of almonds - it's the ultimate convenient and healthy snack.

When it comes to nutrition, being a little "nutty" is just what the doctor ordered!

Phase 1 Diet Tips:


  • Eat first meal within an hour of waking.


  • Plan ahead! Designate a food preparation day.


  • Measure and weigh everything whenever possible. Purchase measuring cups and a kitchen scale.


  • Eat every three hours (usually 5 or 6 times a day, depending on when you wake up)! It's the secret to speeding up your metabolism. Be on time!


  • Drink lots of water! May have coffee & tea with Stevia or a no-cal sweetener.


  • Take a daily multivitamin. If lifting weights, you might consider taking an additional calcium supplement.


  • Take one tablespoon of Flaxseed or Fish Oil daily. Flaxseed and fish oil actually aid in weight loss and encourages healthy bowel movements. (Mix in oatmeal or mashed sweet potato after heating food. Do not heat flaxseed.)


  • Consistency is key! If you have a day where you slip up … Don't give up! Start fresh at your next meal or the next day. You can do it!

Female Diet for Phase 1

So sore! I've gained some lbs.... but I'm hoping it's just from my body freaking out from all this food. I'm used to eating like a mouse :p Hopefully this will fix my skinny-fat ways in the long run!

I make my own almond milk and almond butter. I use stevia for sweetener and vanilla bean for flavor when I want it.

Day 13 and I'm still motivated. Although I really want to get some cardio in i'm resisting the urge. Funny i'm not craving sweets but i am craving some hard core cardio.Today is a day of rest but i'm going to throw in some extreme squats and completely rest tomorrow. I haven't weighed myself yet so not sure if i loss or gained weight. Don't want the muscle building to show on the scale so I don't get discouraged. Good luck to those still hanging in there. Hope to hear good news from fellow bloggers soon!

Not to excited about today's topic. I'm allergic to nuts :( but i love them. I'm very excited for next week . I'm excited about doing legs twice a week my legs are probably the worst part of my body ( i think) and just like houkca09 my BF has noticed as well. I weigh and measure again at the end of day 14 so we will see

It's day 13 for me. I don't know whether you believe it or not but I have lost 11 lbs so far. After extreme diet with a lot of sugar and fat, I decided to look for some motivation and become slimmer. Here I found Live Fit Trainer. I did week 1 twice as I didn't follow the diet first week. My body looks better and I get stronger everyday. I look forward to hitting gym everyday and find it easy to follow the diet. Thanks Jamie for Live Fit Trainer!

This program is great! I know it's a rest day, but I went to the gym and ran two miles. I feel awesome! I'm definitely sticking with this!

finally not so sore but traps are very tight! I feel like I've gained some too and a bit bloated...trying not to get on the scale. The rest days are tough but I know we will be ramping up next week

Well day 13, been I feel like I've been eating nonstop, lots and lots of protein, not hungry or anything, feeling good, and down 6 lbs already (plus I slowly worked up before starting this and was already down 5lbs). Also, since I've been doing this program, I know I've gotten stronger already too! It's hard not to do anything today because I'm really into it right now, so I'm just going to focus hard on the diet for today, try to eat perfect.
