well first of all, you need to stop working until 10pm if you want to get up at 5am. Otherwise you would not be getting nearly enough sleep.

before I give you some advice...are you changing your work hours? Or do you want to keep them the same (work until 10) and still get up at 5am to work out?

Yes, you can use that plan. It just isn't as effective as anabolic cutting and keto.

You can stick to good WHOLE foods...avoid processed foods, avoid anything with wheat gluten, and avoid anything with excess sodium or sugar.

You can have up to 3 protein shakes a day and 3 full food meals per day.

Shakes are best had pre-workout, post-workout and either before bed or when you first wake up.

I can't really help you with most of that...if you want to get up at 5am to work out, you will NOT be getting enough sleep. There is no easy way of working around that. Sleep comes FIRST.

Can you get a workout in during the afternoon before work?

Hey there.

You would want to use the anabolic cutting diet (modified keto) with a good solid cutting workout routine.

Here are links to both of those...I've written these up before -

Well, then you will need to work around your schedule accordingly.

Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday are the only days I see that you can work out and still get sufficient sleep (8 hrs +)

As a result, you will stick to the diet I gave you, and only do 3 days of exercise (better than nothing - you will still see fat losses and some minor muscle gain - just not nearly as fast as if you had everything 100%)

no worries, stick to this plan and although results will be slower, they will still be results nonetheless.
