Do this: Fifteen to 30 minutes (or less) before training, consume 20g of protein powder in a whey shake or other protein powder source and 30-40g of carbohydrates to help you train hard all the way through your workout. Stick with slow-digesting carbs here, such as oat bran, oatmeal, rye or whole-wheat bread, fruit, or sweet potatoes. On nonworkout days, eat that meal as a snack and drop your post-workout feeding.
During this program I have lost inches, gained muscle, confidence and feel better than I have in a long time. Not only have I experienced all of those great benefits, but my journey has gone much deeper than that. A weight has been lifted from my shoulders where sadness once sat. There is happiness, hope and laughter back in my days. This program goes full circle. It changes EVERY. SINGLE. ASPECT of your life. It's truly amazing. I want to pay it forward and give everyone the opportunity to have their life impacted in the phenomenal way mine has. Everyone needs to have a little Amanda and FWTFL in their life.
