    No problem at all 😊💪
    Maybe avoid loading it and just take it consistently daily around 3-5G for you. If you load it and don’t add enough sodium and water to your diet you can cramp pretty bad.

    Unfortunately it sounds like you may need more of a custom plan and to work with one of our trainers one on one. Email [email protected] if you would like more info.

    If not, I would eliminate all fats from all meals but one and increase the total carbs in all meals to make up for it.

    It should be 1/2 FR if the meal plan says 17g

    Curious,
    What would happen if you included moderate carbs in each meal without saving them for later?

    Nope you don’t need to adjust anything. Just follow it as written 😊👍

    From scratch is best. Just make sure there is no added oils

    They can stay in the fridge for about a week

    I am sorry I am not sure the gram conversion of one cup 🤷‍♀️😬

    Hi team!

    Can you take a look at the 45 minute interval cardio on page 78 titled “Run Track Minds”? I think we need to repeat rounds but it’s missing that part of the workout list. Super excited to jump into this challenge!!!

    Thank you,
    Jane

    The duration will vary for this workout. Some people will complete the 45min by going longer durations at each phase. I would recommend going through all of the rounds, see how much time it took for you to complete it. If you are half way to 45min, repeat all rounds one more time.

    Yes it is only 3 sessions of HIIT.
    There is nothing wrong with doing HIIT on a leg day, I always just find it easier to do proper hiit when my legs arent fatigued 🙂

    We do not provide a flow sheet for this challenge. You can write it out on a notepad, print out the workouts and write it on that paper or you can use our fitbook prep: https://nicolewilkins.com/product/fitbook-prep/

    Yes you can mix it with water or any of the optional beverages – unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened cashew milk etc. Just make sure the calories for the liquid is 30 or less.

    Yes you weigh them raw before cooking them for this recipe. They will cook in the skillet 🙂

    Yes this is correct. We removed the nut butter and added an extra serving 🙂 Enjoy

    Spaghetti squash on the exchange list is a Veggie, not a SC. However in the recipe, the total carbs in one serving is 20g. So if someone was not going to do the recipe and exchange it for something else, I used 1 SC for the 20g instead of 4V which would be a lot for most people.

    I just finished the Garage Cardio in 28 minutes but it’s listed in the 45 minute intervals section… is it in the wrong category by chance or was 3 rounds a typo?

    Add another round or two if you are finishing that quick lol

    Hey guys! So I actually took yesterday off due to a crazy work schedule. I have not had a day off work in 19 days and worked 78 hours yesterday. I did my first lift this morning and have questions about some of the exercises. I could not do one rep of the band assisted pull-ups and struggled to get at least 30 reps of the hanging twist knee raise. Are there variations or something different I can do?

    Are you working out in the gym or at home?

    You can do wide grip cable pulldowns instead of the pull ups and as for the hanging knee raises, just do as many as you can. That is how you will continue to get stronger 🙂 Or you can just do lying leg raises.

    I answered this question you had in a different thread.

    BURN- anytime prior to 3pm
    TRAIN- 15-30min before weight workouts
    BCAA- during your workout

    I would just keep the same portions. See how your body responds at the end of the 40 days and then reassess 🙂

    If you have a hip circle you can do lateral side steps

    Yes this is fine. You would have to rework all of the meals though.

    The other thing you could do that may be easier is eat meal 1 and 2 together, meal 3 and 4 together and then have meal 5 post workout.

    Ideally it would be best to swap it with a starchy carb. Because in order to get the same number of carbs with veggies you would need 4-5 servings of veggies. You would have to add SO MANY mushrooms to equal 27g carbs from the oatmeal.

    Nicole

    You are correct. If it says 125g it should read 1 1/4 SC
