Lee Labrada's 12-Week Lean Body Daily Trainer

You should always eat something before you train, regardless of what time! You need carbs for the energy to get through your workout and protein immediately following.

Having a 8 year old and being married I have the same problem and also work out at 5am. I get up at 4:30, drink cold coffee mixed with a scoop of protein powder and a little almond milk and I am off. I follow up the workout with a banana or other quick carb and a little more protein. Then have a meal about 7:45 before I start work. Ideally i should have a few more carbs before I train but I'm trying to loose fat, soo I am overly carb conscious.

Its a great workout though.

Thanks for the post. It's encouraging. I just started the program today. I hope i see results at week 4, that would be great.

@dpbunch- Good luck with your transformation! I am starting week 4 and have seen AMAZING results so far! I have followed the workout schedule to a T, the diet has been extremely clean compared to what I used to eat, yet there have been a couple nights of cheat meals. I just keep a positive attitude towards it and start fresh the next meal! Not sure on my stats, but my photos are showing major results! Hope its going well!

Make sure to watch the video for the next days training, it will help keep you focused and motivated! Good luck, and you can do this!!

I know the feeling I'm at Sharana and they have stop doing breakfast here..But have to go to lunch and dinner and take fruit from the dfac and work from there.

Don't kid yourself about guys having it any easier when it comes to losing weight. I've been fighting the same weight for years now, and I'll admit it might be me, but even when I'm training hard, it doesn't just slough off. That aside, stay motivated, and you'll get there. Good luck! :)

Whatever you do, don't doubt yourself! You have to believe that the weight will come off, and you'll begin to transform you body the way you want it to be! Stay focused and stay motivated!! You got this!

The scale doesn't always tell the truth. You could be building muscle & burning off fat at the same time. GO by how you feel & how your clothes fit. I find that is usually how I notice changes initially. Keep the faith!

I found that trying to find the right weight to start is hardest, but remember, you can always add a set to find that starting weight! Good luck!

Are you taking a fat burner? Im starting day 22 tomorrow, yes still in the beginning phase, but I am just drinking a cup of coffee before I workout. If you weren't taking a fat burner did you consider taking one during the last month to really shred? Any advice would be appreciated!
