Three Weeks To Lean! - Part 2!

Hopefully you have made it through the first Three Weeks To Get Lean. You should have that athletic looking body soon by following the second part of this lean and mean program. For the following meal plans you should eat only until satisfied and not until full. Only drink water and lots of it.

Coffee with a little sugar is okay in the mornings. Do the weight lifting workouts preferably in the evenings after meal four and before meal five. If you need to do the weight lifting workout in the morning make sure to have eaten your first meal first. If any of the meal ideas do not suit you then switch them with the ones you like.

Make sure to get your bodyweight in protein every day (200 pound man = 200 grams of protein throughout the day). For your cardio on intense days, try getting pretty winded, but still able to carry on a conversation with someone next to you. If at any time you feel too out of breath or unable to carry on a conversation, then cut back on the intensity. Always workout at your own risk and if an exercise feels uncomfortable then do not do it or ask someone more knowledgeable for help.

Good luck and never give up!
