Fat Loss Program Questions
While writing down my plans for following my new fat loss lifestyle, I came up with the following issues. I have written the ideas below, but I am checking with you to see whether I am on the right track.
Length of the fat to fit Program routine 1:
While I have had some training experience, doing primarily whole body workouts, only the last six months has been regular but not necessarily consistent (I would workout for two weeks, feel worn down, take five day break, and then continue. (I plan to improve this, by the way.)) So I am planning to do routine 1 for four weeks. Have I made the right conclusion?
Meals around fat loss workouts:
Right now, I envision a regular meal before a workout, drinking water during the workout, and having the post-workout shake as described in the book. Does this sound like a good plan to you?
Weekends:
I am going to copy the nutrition plan from one of the other days for the weekend. I must admit that outside the structure of the workday, my focus on meals can become unstructured. Again, having your plan will assist me to fix this issue.
As always, thanks for your advice.

Hey Andre, thanks for the email and the chance to make sure that you are all set to go as you start out on the fat loss program.
I find that often all people need is for someone that knows the subject to tell them that in fact..they are correct with their intuition. You Are!
You getting colds and feeling worn down is a sign that what you were trying to do as far as fat loss workouts was too much for your system to handle at that time. This is why I always ask people to start with the first workout in the program. Its kind of a “re-set” to make sure that as they start out, their bodies are in the right state to make progress. So you are right!
I would really advise stepping into this slowly despite how motivated you are right now. Follow the outlines for progression in the workouts that are in the book. That way you will build up slowly and be ready for every increase in intensity. If you feel a little tired at the end of four weeks, take a couple of days off BUT MAKE SURE you get back to the gym after.
Again, you are correct with the eating pattern. Some people can eat closer to workouts than others. I can eat up to 30 minutes before and train better that way. Some people prefer to feel slightly empty. Use how you feel and your performance to determine what is best for you. As for the actual meals and days, you can play with them and mix and match. They are all almost perfect to use on any day. So here again, whatever you feel will keep you sticking to the program and within the guidelines is the best course of action for you.
I would say you are ready to go! I always enjoy getting feedback, testimonials and pictures. So let me know how you are doing as you go along!
Oh..and your welcome!
