Jamie Eason's LiveFit Trainer

If you read her tips I think she says to eat breakfast within an hour of waking up. I hope this helps, if not sorry. But read her stuff for tips. I will be starting just as soon as I get my stacks.

I work out at 5 am as well. Since I wake at 4:30 I drink the protien shake post work out (usually just a little over an hour later. Then I eat breakfast 2/3 hours later..

@rayray0221 Do what the trainer says as close to it as possible! It will feel like a lot of food for sure, but it is meant for muscle building and you don't want to be lifting without any food in your system. The protein is meant to be used to help build lean muscle fast! Your breakfast doesn't need to be huge. If I know I am going to the gym right away in the morning because my schedule is crazy I just eat some ezekiel bread (1 slice) with all natural peanut butter for healthy fat and some protein and some cinnamon on top. Then I will have my shake after, which doesn't need to be more than 8 oz. or sip it over an hour time. Don't need to chug it. :)

OH and usually if I only have some toast in the morning, later in the morning I will have my eggs and turkey muffins (WHICH are amazing so make them they are really easy!) The toast in the morning is just to wake up my metabolism so it's working and not going into starvation mode!

Jamie says to eat an hour after waking. I can't eat before I workout so I always eat after. It just depends on your body. As for me the reason why I eat after is because I get sick if I eat before a workout.

If you can't have a full breakfast, definitely have a little something in your body. Your body needs fuel to burn calories and to keep up with your work-outs! Eat some fruit and toast. I would have a protein drink right after my workout.

Start little by little, get rid of the junk food first and drink the gallon of water everyday. Find a gym or buy a few weights to work at home. You can do this! Track your progress -pictures help- that way with every inch, every pound you lose, you can vow to never go back to that. Visualize the new you everytime you falter and continue.

Good luck to you!!!! I'm on day 3 of phase 1 today and I'm sore but I feel pretty good about myself. It's hard sometimes to take such good care of your own body, but once you start seeing results you'll really want to continue on :) Girl you can do it!!!

I sign in and then just put LiveFit in the search box. It should come that way.

If you go to the quick navigation drop down menu on the top of this page (right above the video) and click week 4 day 28 Jamie discusses protein options and lists some protein sources for vegetarians.

I'm a nurse and work the same hours...I'm starting this program today and I'm just going to get up early before work
