90-Day Challenge Update>>
Ok Challengers, here we go. For those who have been doing the last 30 days of workouts and meal plans, GREAT JOB, keep up the awesome work. For those who are starting FRESH, here we go. EVERYONE should use the newly posted workout and meal plan (please see those below). DO NOT forget to take updated photos, scale weight and/or body site measurements. You are just guessing if you are not assessing. Remember to include accountability; use a friend, a coach, someone who will help, positively, support your goals. And as always, ask if you have any questions.
If you have been using the TRANONT (Enrich, Activate, Transform), how's it going? if you are just starting, a few things to keep in mind:
Use Enrich and Transform 30 mins before you eat (either your morning pre workout OR post workout meal)
Use Activate before your morning workout OR later in the day when you need help with cravings (mid afternoon?)
Up your water to 3 liters - 1 gallon
You should notice more energy and fewer cravings

Meal Plan Updates -
Pick and choose your days and repeat the ones you like - LOTS of variety!
If you weigh more than 140-150 lbs starting off, you will need to increase your protein intake to grams per body weight you WANT to achieve. Ex: if you are 190 and want to be 160, eat a min of 160 grams of protein, get it? If carbs are too low, have the same # of carbs as you do protein...150 gram protein and 125-150 grams carbs. NEVER go below 50 grams of healthy fat, you need it for hormone production.

Day 5-7: Rotate the above meals for variety.
Ensure pre- and post-workout meals are timed around training sessions. Drink plenty of water and adjust portion sizes slightly to match specific caloric and macronutrient needs. Feel free to exchange any protein, carbs or fat for another one listed. Use chicken or turkey in exchange for any seafood substitution. AND track your intake. If you do not see a 1-1.5 fat loss per week, you need to adjust something. ASK if you have questions and good luck!
