Dawn, I put all of these in water, shake and freeze and eat it at night for a tasty treat before I go to bed to curb my sweet tooth. It is like an ice cream treat. Oatmeal is not cooked. I go the pancake route for a change-up if I get tired of the shake but honestly, before these challenges, I loved ice cream at night so this helps me curb that tasty treat. 🙂

Ok thanks. I buy supplements frequently from this line so it would be really helpful to have a discount code even if I don’t purchase the challenges. I can’t afford to participate in all the challenges (and honestly, I would buy supplements more often if there was a discount code).

Thanks Naomi for looking into this for me. Have a great day!

Thanks Maureen, I appreciate again your help and time.

Maureen,
Thanks for your response. I have put so much time and thought into this and I think you are right when you say I’m feeling this way because of the shift from carbs to fats. It is a huge adjustment for me and my body. I was eating 1800 calories and 200g of carbs before this challenge began. Now I’m at 125g carbs. The big difference though is yes, I’ve always had more carbs in my meal plans. Until a few years ago, I had been a long-distance runner since I graduated college (about 20 years). During this time, I only dabbled with strength training and over the last few years, running and strength training have flip-flopped. This is the first time I have been on a meal plan like this where the shift of carbs to fats took place. Maybe it is just too much of an adjustment for my body and my lifestyle (I am always active). I will definitely still finish it out the best I can. I appreciate your feedback and advice. Thanks for your time.

Great, thanks so much Nicole.

mora33, I live in a big city/small suburb so I always do mine outside. I can’t get too far without having to stop at a stoplight so when I do Hiit runs/workouts on those days, I go for a good pace a block at a time and pause or jog in place when I get stopped by a stoplight. Then start back up again until I have to stop again. Works out well.

aprilzahr – I like that idea but I think that is why this forum exists here. Only participants that purchased the challenge have access to this forum so this is where all of those questions for this challenge should be posted. Just my opinion.

Looking ahead to Phase 3: Women’s Meal Plan 2: Meal 2 Option 2 for Weeks 5-7, it says:

(SC, ½ F, ½ LP) 1 serving Black Bean
Brownies (SEE RECIPE)
• (LP) 1 scoop nPower Nutrition Isolate
(either flavor)
• (½ FR) 150g raspberries

Again, are these the correct measurements? They seem high to me.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the clarification Nicole. Yes, we were asking about women’s meal plan 2 in phase 2 option 2. Appreciate it. 🙂

[hpboyer]

Another question – just want to make sure I am measuring this correctly.
Women’s meal plan 2: option 1 says 6 egg whites and 1 egg yolk.
I used 1 whole egg and then 5 egg whites, which according to my carton says is 15 tablespoons (almost a cup) if egg whites. Just making sure that is correct.
I know measurements can be a bit off when I enter them into MFP and this was when I was entered it.
Thanks for your help.

Another question regarding the brownies meal, I noticed that there are two servings of protein listed there. Is that correct? (In Women’s Meal Plan 2 – Meal 2, Option 2).
LP within the brownies and then another LP for the scoop of protein. Wouldn’t that add up to too much protein for that one meal?
Thanks for your help. Just curious.

reneklopf – I emailed the team last week asking the same thing. They told me to use the code SAVE10.
I just placed an order a couple days ago with that code.

tongaa71 – I love my chicken too. I found ground chicken and made it work for FP, just gotta play with the macro numbers.

[hpboyer]

merryesposit – It should give some directions on the side of the carton how much the egg whites are.

[hpboyer]

wacocherish1015 – ok thanks 🙂

[hpboyer]

Great question. I’ve been doing 2 whole eggs (yolks and egg whites) and then 2 egg whites (I use the liquid egg whites – 1/3 cup). Not sure if what I am doing is right or not either?

I think my headaches were a precursor to getting sick. My body couldn’t fight it off anymore so I called my insurance’s virtual doctor the other day and was prescribed the Z-pac for my really bad cough/chest congestion, head cold, low-grade fever, body aches, loss of appetite, etc….hoping to feel better soon.
Thanks again for your responses and input.

[hpboyer]

Naomi,
Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. I’m not really sure either. My headaches are a little better today. Actually, they could be a result of several of the things you listed above or a combination. I do have very low blood pressure, it is that time of the month for me, the weather here in Ohio is crappy and even with a humidifier in my place, the air is still rather dry, I am stressed a bit and sickness/illness seems to be everywhere around me at school. So, you are absolutely correct. At any rate, again, thanks for your time.

[hpboyer]

Naomi,
Thanks for your response. Woke up Friday morning with a mild headache. I took Friday off from lifting and cardio because I worked before school (I work at a HS) and after school Friday (I work a second part-time job 4-5 days a week). Friday evening was better. I wasn’t able to eat all of my meals but normally not eating calories doesn’t give me headaches. I went to bed by 9am and was up at 5am Saturday morning. I work at our fitness facility at 7am and then I did cardio and the lifting workout. No headache Saturday morning but by Saturday evening, headache was back. Saturday I got all of meals in and drank well over a gallon of water. Couldn’t shake it so I went to bed around 9pm. Slept in until about 8:30am Sunday morning. (I never sleep in that late) Woke up with a pounding headache. Finally in the middle of the afternoon the headache went away. I did not lift nor do cardio Sunday and I don’t work. I have felt lethargic and tired the last 3-4 days or so and just haven’t had my normal energy. Any ideas? If not, it’s fine. I’m sure they will go away eventually. Thanks for your help.

Thanks Maureen, I appreciate your time.

I emailed yesterday about the Landmine Row video and they were aware. They said they were about to film that video soon and it would be posted before Phase 2 starts.

[hpboyer]

I wondering the same thing as well for Phase 2 – Meal Plan 2, Meal 3 Option 1 lists 1 LP and Meal 3 Option 2 lists 1 1/4 LP.

It was on her Facebook page in the Nicole Wilkins group. Go to Announcements on the lefthand side and it will be there.

[hpboyer]

Yes 3 sets of 21.
