I’m wonder why steel cut oats it’s on the plan or exchange list thanks
Why it isn’t? Not every food makes the list….there are so many. They macros on each of those seem to be pretty similar. If you want to eat those instead go for it.
No worries Mae, I misunderstood the question. I saw it as 30g of protein and just asking if she could use that. But you are right, 30g is the measurement for how much protein to use……I would still just say, use what protein you have and hopefully the protein content is close to the goal.
i dont see week two level up video only week one is showing
Week 2 is there now. https://nicolewilkins.com/challenge/level-up-challenge-2025/?section=weekly-level-ups
Follow that linkIs there an alternative excersise? Had foot surgery last year and literally can not bend big toe on one foot. Sounds crazy lol.and it is!! I look all deformed when trying to do a back or forward lunge. I can make it happen but the form is definitely not right lol. I used to do walking lunges all the time and it definitely is challenging now…and hilarious to watch!! I do realize its one of the best for several muscle groups. So if there’s not an alternative its ok!
How about a step up?
I also messed up. My husband took my pictures then left when I realized I needed the backside picture. So I used a mirror to get my backside. Same outfit, same day, just a bit different. That was the best I could do so hopefully that counts.
Again, You can message them to the above email and ask. They are happy to answer
I live in Nor Cali. I participated in many challenges but it’s been quite a few years. Took my a bit to agree to foot surgery 2 years ago and still have a slight issue. I’m now 63, post menopausal and getting back on this healthy workout train. In the past I worked 3 jobs. A year ago I retired from one and now have a life and the time needed to dedicate to this program. First week, hecka sore but I’m not stopping. It will only get better.
I’m loving the food! Wasn’t too sure about pumpkin in daily food but one never knows ‘till you try it. I’m sold!
Welcome back!!!! We are happy you are here :). Great job!!!
Are artichokes acceptable? If so how much and how are the nutrients categorized in a serving, if allowed?
We can make a request that it’s on the next exchange list. But since it’s not there, I would just choose something else that is on the list.
I know the exchange list has 4 oz of 90 % ground beef at a FP. I could only get 88%. Should I use only 3.5 oz instead to make up for the extra fat? Thank you!
No, don’t stress over that. Just stick with the same serving.
Hi there! Where can I find the workout log sheets? I’ve looked through the ebook but can’t seem to find them. May have missed them? Thank you
There aren’t log sheets per say but there is an accountability tracker on I believe page 82
What if I don’t have the nPower? Can I use a compatible vegan protein powder I already have and just make sure it measures 30G?
That’s ok. Just use what you have.
Hi Maureen, click on the arrow to play and vimeo pops up as if I have to apply. The screen where the video is black and below just shows the arrow to start play, just doesn’t let me till I apply vimeo
Can you email [email protected] they can help with technical stuff. I don’t see the same thing as you. I can get it up and running. I’m sorry I don’t have more answers for you on this.
Well dang, I should have thought of that. Lol.That makes sense. Thank you
It may not get it exactly in the same spot but pretty darn close or you can shorten the range of motion too!
At home workout 5….is there a different ex for glute circles? I can kinda do with knee bent but my ROM in hips limited. I have Cam impingement both hips and hip replacement left. I can actually do it better on my left but it’s very difficult and if I straighten leg out, I can not get it to where Nicole says it needs to be
You can just try sidelying leg raises if that’s more comfortable for you.
I’m trying to open the video on the workouts and it’s not allowing me. Do I have to sign in to the Vimeo app that pops up? Or any other way I can get to see the video? Thank you
You shouldn’t have to log in to vimeo. Are you just clicking the link? It should just pull up when I click “start the workout” at the bottom of the at home pages. Email [email protected] if you have done the above and are still having trouble.
I’m still looking for a little more clario…Is the partial sumo squat basically a shallow squat or more of a pulse squat in the lower position?
I would view the partial as from the bottom to leaving the last 1/4 at the top, so a bit more than a pulse
Question about which Women’s plan to use. I’m 4’11 & 155lbs. Thanks!
Go for the plan closest to your height
Do you measure raw butternut squash, or do you measure one cup of cooked mashed squash? Not sure if it makes a difference but thought I’d check.
cooked. It says roasted in the description. Eat up!
Hi Again,
Wondering if it’s OK if I mix and match the meals. For example, for meal 1, I like Option 1 (with the Apple Cinnamon Muffins), but then for Meal 2, I would like Meal 1 option 2 (Greek yogurt and fruit). So basically, taking any of the meals offered in Meal 1 through 4 and mixing them up. Thanks!
Yep. You can pick whatever meals you want.
Hi there,
The first ingredient for this recipe says “1 scoop (30g) nPower…”….but isn’t 1 scoop only 20g?The other ingredients might add that extra 7g. Like a banana has 1.5g pro
I say the individual Mobility videos within the ebook but I’m just wondering if there is a link anywhere for a full body Mobility stretching workout.
Can you flow through each of the body parts in one session?
I noticed a few duplications. In Fats, 14 g of mayonnaise and 15 g of mayonnaise are listed as one Fat. 15 g of mayonnaise is also listed as an optional condiment. Which is correct?
Also, 100 g of black beans is listed as both a single serving of a starchy carb and as a single serving of a vegetable.
Which is correct?Under a single serving of a vegetable, both 50 g of onion and 100 g of onion are listed. Which is correct?
Thanks!
Ok mayo should be 15g in fat
black beans should only be in starchy carbs
onions should be 100gCan I exchange the fruit ingredients in the recipe with mashed bananas, pumpkin puree or pears?
I wouldn’t recommend manipulating the recipe itself if you are unfamiliar with how it will change the macros in the end. If you are macro savvy then go for it…if you question it at all, I wouldn’t sub with the recipe itself.
Hey Maureen! Can you do like one vegan and then switch to the next day be non vegan?
you can eat meal one as vegan and 2 as non vegan. You can mix it how you want. The only thing is IF you do exchanges please use the vegan exchange list for vegan meals and non for non vegan plans. Enjoy!
Hi there. “Johnny come lately” here. Lol. I just joined the challenge today and I’ve gone over the Ebook etc. I’m not sure if this is where I ask but I do not know which meal plan to follow. I am 5’3 and 174lbs. Can you please let me know?
Also, I practice intermittent fasting. Is it ok to continue and try and get these meals in an 8 hr window?! Or do you recommend not fasting for the duration of this challenge.
Thank you and good luck everyone.Use the meal plan that corresponds with your height. You can try to fast but it might be hard to fit those in an 8 hour window. You can try following the plan as it’s written and just see how you feel. You can always change it up.
