I would assume that when you are weight training you should eat before and cardio would go after weight training. What I would like to know is how long to wait after breakfast to work out. 1 hour or 2 hours. Hope we get a reply soon🙏🏼
Hi Stephanie,
You’re welcome. You are absolutely right in that Nicole’s program is not for beginners. It is overwhelming, time consuming, and outright hard even for those of us who have been training a while. And as for others in the gym, OMG they can be so rude!!!! I feel your pain. I definitely would advice those who are not familiar with weight training, etc to hire a trainer, at least for like 10 sessions to get the foundation and confidence they need when they step into that weight room.
Stephanie best of luck with all your endeavors.

Hi Stephanie,
Nicole does have videos on how to weigh your food etc. you just have to search for them on the site. This kind of lifestyle change is not easy, congrats on taking the first step by the way. It gets easier the more you do it. A bit of an inconvenience at first but when you start seeing the changes it will all feel worthwhile. So hang on in there and good luck. Consistency is key.

Hi @nicolewilkins @Maureen
I would like to change one of the veggie sides for some mixed greens. Would this be ok and if so, how many grams of mixed greens? 200g? Suggestions for dressing please and thank you!All the best,
Jolie
@Lorrie,
I am a good eater. The problem isn’t that I can’t eat all the food, for me is more about consuming so much veggies. I personally don’t care for veggies and they also make me very gassy, Like you won’t be able to be in the same room with me gassy. SMH.
TMI I know and sorry. lol
anyways I am going to take a close look at the food exchange list and switch up the broccoli and cauliflower. Any suggestions?
Jolie
@tracy,
Yes! Meal 4 and 5 are the worse!! Sometimes I feel like gagging! Why can’t we lower the grams on those and add it to the spaghetti squash meal which is really light.What do you think @nicolewilkins?
Jolie
@Rochelle, no do not substitute spaghetti squash for sweet potato! Not even close in macros. You can substitute it for zucchini.
Jolie
If we are too full, we still eat. We need to eat to so that we don’t lose muscle.
FYI I hate this meal plan!!! LOL
Jolie
I am doing meal plan 1. 3 eggs whites is no where near 25g of protein.
Question, is it ok to use stevia?
Jolie
This one is pretty good and popular and comes in many flavors. click the link below.

How late is late? I sometimes am eating my last meal at 10pm.
I have done an hour before also. can you do an hour? I definitely think its better than not eating anything prior to weight training.
Hi @Keith,
In case you need a quick reply:
You can do fasted cardio, but you should always eat before weight training. I would say at least 2 hours before if possible.
Water I believe she said 3-4 liters a day.
Brown rice will not make you gain weight. Maybe makes you bloated for a while. I believe she said that as long as the nutrition is about the same for both it’s ok to substitute.
The shake is only once a day in this meal plan and only after training. I don’t think you should buy the protein with the 8g of sugar. That is too much. I bought the myprotein brand whey protein. It has 1g of sugar and 1g carb, low calorie and 20g protein per serving.
Artificial sugars in the bcaa I think it’s ok. Mine has stevia.
I hope this helps

Hi Karissa,
My friend and I did the challenge before this one and she felt the same way during phase 1. I convinced her to give it a shot and she was happy she did. She lost 10 pounds and gained tons of muscle during that first phase and now swears by Nicole’s method.
So I say follow the diet it works!

Hi Nicole,
How do we measure out the tuna patties once made? you say 1.5 serving, but how many ounces should each patty weigh after its done? Should we weigh them before cooking so we know they are all the same size?
Thank you!
I drink tea in between meals. yogi tea company has a lot of variety with a hit of sweetness to them. I usually don’t add anything other than a squeeze of lemon. I’m currently using the caramel apple spice slim life by Yogi tea.
All the best and good luck.
I just finished the cardio acceleration and Oh my lord is that hard to do without stopping after each round. I am sorry but I had to give myself 1 to 2 minutes after each round. Did anyone else think it was undoable without stopping?
Jolie
I see some but not all. When I click on it says I have to be a member to view. I hope they fix it before Monday.
Phase 2 grocery lists says to buy 3 dozen eggs but there is no egg in the meal plan. Please revise. Thanks!
I know phase 2 is not here yet, but it’s awfully close. I was wondering if we still need to do Cardio on Monday, Leg day, since it is incorporated into the workout already. For ex: squat followed by jump squats. etc.
thanks,
Jolie
Thank you Nicole. Just to get it straight, if on my third set I decide to go a bit heavier because I was able to complete 10 reps in the previous, however I only make it to 4-6, I should just stop there?
Thanks again!
Marlo, I believe that the weekend totals is supposed to be less than the days we work out. So don’t add anything. Best of luck.
Hi Anne,
what type of butter are you using? The calories for the butter and the chicken don’t seem to be correct from what I see, comparing it to mine. The butter that Nicole recommended has 100 cal. in 1 tbsp. And 3oz of cooked chicken breast is usually about 120 calories and about 24g of protein.
I am usually just going over on my protein, but everything else seems to add up perfectly. I am not sure how to lower my protein count and more so because I don’t want to eat less than what I am eating now.
All the best,
Jolie
