I gave up trying to watch the scale. During phase 1 I didn’t gain a pound…during this is think i’very gained a couple but i’m pretty sure it’s muscle…anyway the 2nd phase of this diet has been awful for me in terms of craving food, especially carbs and I normally am not a carb crater. I’ve been wanting things like cookies or chocolate and I am not a sweets eater at all!! I’ve also had to make some adjustments like to the overnight oats by adding protein. I do have to say though, the diet has definitely made a HUGE difference!!!
Thanks Nicole! That should definitely work!!!
Marci, I was good the rest of the day…it’s that morning meal that does me in if it’s not right for me LOL
How many meals do you get in during your work hours?Hi Nicole!
I workout about 2 hours after breakfast in the morning. Same exact schedule as before the only thing that changed is the meal. Anytime I ate something like cereal or pancakes I felt the same way. I was fine with the previous higher protein breakfast with eggs and toast… I do add salt as I have a funky heart and the cardiologist said to basically have what I want. And I am drinking way more water. The last time I had blood work done (about a month ago) I was borderline hypoglycemic. I’ve always had to eat frequently but now with the program my metabolism is running even higher. I felt better within 10 min of drinking the shake. I don’t know i’ve always had a weird reaction to carb breakfast LOLI have the opposite problem…sorry my phone does weird things with autocorrect LOL the higher carbs don’t fill me up and my blood sugar must drop out because I get the shakes and get very agitated. I think I need more protein
Ohhhhh…I had a feeling there had to be a way to do it because it didn’t make sense not to!! Thank you so much!!
My issue with MFP is it makes you put in your specific goals and gives you the tools to strive for (unless I’m missing a way to do it by just putting in your own macros totals) I gave up on it because that part of it aggravated me. The macros on the diet plans won’t do the same thing for everyone either so I had no idea what to put in for my fitness goals. I’m trying to put on muscle weight so this diet may work for that/might not (so far I haven’t gained anything but look totally dfferent) LOL but for someone who generally didn’t exercise as much and/or ate more calories than our diet plans call for this should have them lose weight. I just totally gave up on MFP and TRIED to follow Nicole’s plan
Ooooh good question!! I don’t have one of those thingamajigs and I definitely wouldn’t use it after…spag squash would be alot easier…i’m wondering though, it might have more sugars?
I think I might also have the same problem with low macros…i’m 5’10 and 141lbs…my metabolism is already amped up to begin with. I’ve definitely started leaning out even more already. I’m really trying to put on muscle not lose any weight yet!
Of course!!! It’s tough with the supplements. Like I aid I love bb.com but if there’s something different i’m looking for in luckily have a place some what close by that has EVERYTHING…I’ve talked to people see rated by 50 miles and all I say is I went to see Bob and they know who i’m talking about…ask people at your gym where they go. I’ve found they’re usually very passionate about it and willing to help! ?
Hey Jen!
I love bb.com!!! Complete Omega is close…around 2.5:1 lol…it’s omegas 3,6,9
I don’t know if I would go super crazy trying to find one closer than that…you’re getting some from your natural dietAwesome! Yes you understood correctly! I actually split my rest days up so I took wed off and did legs yesterday and chest today. I’LL try the revised plan and maybe having that returns day in the middle will help. I find things both sat and sun off wrecks my motivation. I have ridiculously long thin legs and really want to put some mass on them. My upper body developes really quick and easy and I never dedicated that much time to legs bc I hate doing them LOL i’m just trying to challenge myself as much as possible.
Thank you so much for the advice!!
I understand that but i’my shorting myself on leg day. Besides not having some of the equipment, I only have 1.5 hours in the morning. I had to leave out the 4th sets so I can get all exercises in. Legs are my Achilles heel I’mean really trying to achieve what I know I can
I was so surprised that this was probably one of my favorite meals. I don’t use a lot of sugar free products because I don’t like the taste and I don’t like the chemicals in them so I just put natural almond butter that had a little bit of honey in it on top. I only wish I heated up the almond butter so that it would soften a little. I ground up the oatmeal just a little bit. I put a splash of vanilla extract, one packet of stevia and some cinnamon in the mix and made it as one pancake. I think tonight I will put one more packet of the stevia just to make it a little sweeter
Awesome! Yeah, I wasn’t feeling replacing the squats bc it’s such a major lift. And great point with the push ups!!
Thanks for the reply, I was ready to ditch squats all together out of frustration!!You’re welcome Victoria! The nutrition will be the hardest part for me! I do sales so my job is on the road, i’m not sure how i’LL fit it all in myself! I guess i’LL be eating alot of cold chicken! Hahaha!
Hi there! I’m not a professional but figured I would throw my 2 cents in LOL You have to remember theverything are workouts where you’re pushing your body to it’s limits. You need those calories to fuel up or it’ll actually backfire on you! You won’t put the lean muscle on OR burn the fat if you’re in too much of a deficit
