How to Maximize the Fit For Life Meal Plan for Extreme Fat Loss
.
Our Fit for Life Meal Plan centers around something called Time Restricted Eating (TRE). This strategy has you fast in the beginning of the day and feed or eat in the latter part of the day.
In a typical Time Restricted Eating strategy, you have a 12-16 hour fasting window where you skip breakfast and a mid-morning snack, as well as caloric drinks. Then between 10am and 12pm you break your fast with your first meal. After you break your fast, you have an 8 hour window of time to consume your normal meals + a snack if it fits in with your fat loss meal plan type.
Time-Restricted Eating and Workouts
Knowing how to structure your time-restricted eating around your workouts is crucial to the sustainability of your fat-burning goals. There are two basic methods we teach at Fit for Life Gym: The morning/lunch workout structure and the evening workout structure.
How to Use Time Restricted Eating If You Workout in the Morning/Lunch
Here is a sample of how to structure your TRE around your workout
4am - Wake, drink 10oz of water
5am - Workout fasted
9am - Break fast with first meal (Feeding window open)
12-1pm - Eat meal two based on meal sheet
6pm - Eat meal three based on meal sheet (Feeding window closed)
8pm-9am - Fasting
How to Use Time Restricted Eating If You Workout in the Evening
Here is a sample of how to structure your TRE around your workout in the evening
4am - Wake, drink 10oz of water (lemon optional)
**Fasting Until First meal around 12-1pm**
12-1pm Break fast. Have meal one based on the meal sheet
4:30/5:30pm - Workout
7:30/8:00pm -Have second meal/ End feeding window
8pm-12pm - Fasting
