    Hey guys,

    We are VERY sorry about the videos. They should all be fixed now. There was a glitch on the back end and we had to adjust each video separately. Please let customer service at [email protected] know if you find any other videos specifically that are not working.

    Hi Christina,
    It depends on how sore your legs are. If they are only slightly sore, it is totally safe to do legs again.

    Yes that is correct because there are additional proteins and carbs added to other meals in meal plan 3.

    Hi Ursula,

    That is the correct conversion for mahi and egg whites

    As far as sirloin, the sirloin I have is 7g fat, 0g carbs, 31g pro. So if you were to swap it for for lean ground turkey 93%, it would roughly be 5oz at 10g fat, 27g pro, 0 carbs.

    Measure out 100g on a food scale. It is much more accurate than using measuring cups.

    You can continue following the macros in phase 2 if you are not at your goal yet. There are hundreds of workouts in the members section on this website to use for a change up 🙂

    Hi Angela,

    I would avoid all protein bars during this challenge and focus on real foods.

    Hi Jennifer,
    Are you training in the morning? Are you adding any sodium to your meals? Are you drinking enough water?
    If you are eating the overnight oats your blood sugar shouldn’t drop that quickly unless something else is wrong. Have you gotten bloodwork done in a while?

    Helen, I would recommend eating meal 4 at 3:30, training, then around 5:30 or so have your post workout shake (which counts toward your daily macros). At 8-8:30 pm have meal 5

    To answer your question I would have to see your entire diary to see what the issue is. I recommend following the meal plan as written with the exact measurements for each meal.

    You can substitute any of the ‘lean proteins’ on the food substitution list.

    Here are some good exercises you can do with a foam roller 🙂

    in reply to: Post workout meal after cardio acceleration? #73084
    Nicole
    Keymaster

    Yes you would have your post workout shake after cardio acceleration that day because there is no additional weight training workouts in addition to it.

    Hi Sandra,
    Is there any way you can split them?
    If not, in your case, have meal 1, weight train, do cardio, then have post workout shake. Wait 3hrs and eat meal 2.

    in reply to: Drop on last set? #72816

    In the first phase there is no drop setting. Just straight sets. In Phase 2 that is when the intensity techniques are implemented.

    Hey everyone- Phase 2 still has a few tweeks we have to make on it, so be patient and continue following phase one as normal this week 🙂

    Lisa, try to put your arms down by your side for additional stability. Take your time and go slow so you don’t roll all over the floor lmao!

    You will want to cut the zucchini in the spiralizer first and then cook them. In a ‘cutting phase’ I just cook them in a pan with water- no added oils. It doesn’t take long!
    As a personal trainer myself, I just whipped out my container and ate my meal in 5min between clients lol

    That is correct. It must be a typo. There is only one ‘recipe’ for phase 2.

    I’d like to point out that if you know you are not good at something (ie squats with a barbell), focus on trying to improve them instead of skipping them and replacing them with something else altogether 😉

    Skip the deadlifts and do 3 extra sets of the hamstring curl instead.

    Ugh being sick is the worst. I am sure it is from your body fighting off this infection. Focus on sleeping and resting as much as possible, drinking a ton of water, and adjusting the weights so that you are challenging yourself but not killing yourself either. The best advice I can give is listen to your body. Do the best you can, but if you feel you need to take a day off or decrease the intensity to make it through, then do it. Your energy will come back soon enough!

    Hi Dawn,
    You could just add a few tomatoes or leave the pasta plain. There isn’t much you can replace with the marinara sauce- the calories are very little as well.
