If you only work out once a day, omit one of the pre-training fuel sources. On rest days, omit both pre-training fuel sources. In addition, consume 16-20 ounces of water immediately upon waking and 16-20 ounces of water with every meal/snack.
Optional Add-ON
Antioxidant Blast
Fruit & Veggie Blend
• 1 large carrot • 1 small apple, cored • 1 cup collard greens
Using a high-powered blender like the 2hp Omega 2500, blend to a liquid with 6-10 ounces of water. This is not a meal or snack—rather, this is in addition to a meal or snack. This will provide your body with a high amount of powerful antioxidants. Consume this 1-2 times per day.
