    Any of them are fine for a pre workout meal 🙂

    If you are weight training in the morning, you can have the shake before you train and then 2-3hrs after that have meal 1.

    You should have received all of the info Marquerite. Check your spam box to make sure it isn’t in there. Either way, all of the info is on the site. Just head to the main challenge page and scroll down to see all of the info (you have to click on the bars).

    If you didn’t receive any emails, shoot us an email at [email protected] so we can make sure you are on the list.

    I recommend adding salt to your foods- totally fine! Don’t stress about the sodium- you are sweating a lot and drinking enough water. Just keep it consistent each day.

    lol No you won’t get mercury poisoning. Albacore is totally fine!

    You can find the recipes if you scroll down on the nutrition page. It is located just above the grocery list.

    I have never seen this before. As far as I am concerned, if it is high quality and fits within the goal numbers, it is ok with me.

    This program is a great place to start to see how your body responds to these numbers. Give it a shot and follow it very closely. 🙂

    Veggies do count toward the total carbs. It is important to get your micronutrients. I wouldn’t count fruit as a swap for veggies.

    This is not a Ketogenic meal plan. I recommend following the plan if you hope to win the challenge.

    The nutrition is the same for 45 days.

    Quaker oat bran works. I like Trader Joe’s too 🙂

    Both phases are available to view. The only thing that isn’t available yet are the videos for each exercise in phase two training.

    in reply to: Pyramid and reps #84555
    Nicole
    Keymaster

    Yes you can pyramid each exercise. Try to increase the weight each set and keep your reps within the range provided for that exercise

    Phase two videos will be available in the next couple weeks.

    Yes of course! Cook it however you like ?

    If you are unsure, chose the meal plan that correlates with your height. Yes

    The best way to hide your traps is to make sure your chest is up and your shoulders are slightly back. If you are rounding your shoulders forward in your front and back pose to make your lats wider, your traps will be more prominent too

    Hi Maria,
    Please ask challenge questions in the forum for the 60 Day Challenge, otherwise they are missed.

    I hope you were successful in phase 1!

    I don’t typically count yoga (even bikram) as cardio.

    I would let your shoulder rest for a couple weeks at least depending on how bad you hurt it. Don’t over stretch it or do anything that causes pain. I am not sure which area of your shoulder is injured to recommend exercises or stretches to do. Have you seen a specialist?

    Thank you!

    in reply to: Meal Plan comparison #74530
    Nicole

    The total protein is higher in meal 3 compared to meal plan 2. The protein shake in meal plan 2 is one scoop and the protein shake in meal plan 3 is 1.5 scoops. Just because per meal they may be different, the total numbers at the end of the day are higher in meal plan 3.

    Hi Marci,
    It will take a few days or even the first week to get into the groove of the calorie change. The refeed meal can definitely make you more hungry the day after. The insulin spike and metabolism shock lol Hang in there and follow the program to the best of your ability. It will get better.

    Marybeth,
    Quicker source of energy, faster recovery, easier to digest….

    I got my rice cooker from Costco 🙂 I just got an Instant Pot for Christmas and that works too!

    4oz ground bison has 190 cal, 0 carbs, 11g fat and 23g pro

    4oz bison steak has 130 cal, 0 carbs, 3g fat and 24g pro

    They are not equal exchanges. If you choose to have bison ground, eliminate the additional fat from another meal.
