Is the finisher in the leg workout this week a circuit?? Or do you do them straight sets?
Thanks
Yes I would do each exercise for 10 and then move down the ladder.
What about a regular ball crunch
did someone find out about meal one plan one is it supposed to be the bbqcgickicken sweet potato
It is not a mistake. It’s just chicken and sweet potato
I would weigh after
I am having difficulty getting the correct macros for these protein balls.
For 1 ball I get, 12C, 7P, 6F. The recipe says 12C, 14P, 6F per serving (2 balls). The protein is correct for me, but I cannot get the correct Carbs and Fat.
I’m not sure what I am doing wrong.
I’m not sure what you mean? I’m sorry can you elaborate?
I can’t seem to find the accountability tracker I headed about on the zoom call and I see on Facebook. Can someone please tell me where to find it? Thank you!
Let me check. I’m not seeing it in there
This might be a ridiculous question but my lower body has broken down so much with my age. I just had tkr in Jan so I’m ready to get back into workouts and everything. I’ve lost about 19 lbs already but is there anything I can do about the cellulite and loseness to my thighs? They are just so bad.
There isn’t one thing. Just start strength training again and after you start to change your body composition a bit I’m sure you will see some improvements
The recipe calls for 1 1/3 cups of vanilla whey protein powder. Is that measuring cup or the scoop that comes in the NW protein powder mix? Thanks!
That would be an actual cup not the scooper. Since one serving has 14g of protein and there are 8 servings a scooper and a half wouldn’t come close to meeting this amount of protein.
in meal plan one meal five is different from all the other plans is it not supposed to be BBQ chicken stuffed sweet potato . because its states just chicken and sweet potato
Im checking this out for you with the team. hang tight.
Can someone explain the Front Squat sets/reps? Do we do 6 reps, rest, 6 reps, rest and then 10-12 reps and repeat 3 times (for 1 set) for a total of 5 sets? I might be reading this wrong
I read that as being 1st and 2nd set each being 6 reps resting between each. The remaining 3 sets will be 10-12 reps. That would total 5 sets. I will double check and if it’s different I will come back to this thread.
I am 5’6” 137 pounds
It looks as if I should be on meal plan 3 if I’m going by height. I feel that is a lot of calories. Is this correct? Calories 1916 (height) vs 1684 if were to go by weight.
In past challenges the height & weight matched so it was less confusing.
I will trust the process I just want to confirm this is correct.
Also, can you explain why we go by height vs weight?We recommend using height because if somebody is overweight and they are short if they go by their weight, they will be eating too many calories and if somebody is tall and lean, and they go by their weight, they’ll be eating two few calories

Also, can you explain why we go by height vs weight?I’m sure it’s correct. It may feel like a lot of food when you first start eating but when you have healthier foods naturally you can eat more of it. So it may feel more filling at times but your body will adjust. Trust me. I’m not sure the specific reason, but I just asked her so I will come back and answer that as soon as she answers me. Thanks.
I have a question about choosing the correct meal plan. I am 5’2” and 163 pounds, but I don’t see a meal plan option that matches both my height and my weight.
When selecting a meal plan, should I choose the one based on my height or my weight?
Choose the meal plan based on your height if both of those measurements don’t fit into the same meal plan.
You could email [email protected] and maybe they can send what you shared or give access somehow.
In the yogurt bark recipe it calls for one cup of strawberries and the meal plan is to eat two servings of bark, which would be 1/2 cup of strawberries. The substitution list is weighed strawberries, so how much watermelon would I be allowed when substituted for the strawberries in the bark?
Weigh the 1 cup of strawberries. one serving is 250g on the exchange list. Watermelon is 350g for one serving. So you are going to have to see how it compares to 1 Serving according to the exchange list. SInce its a recipe its not a clear cut.
Good afternoon,
I have another question. I have been taking Nicole’s creatine now for at least 2 weeks. I normally takt a scoop of it with water because I’m not a coffee drinker (nor tea). I feel like it is gritty and I don’t like that texture of it, especially when I get down to the last part that is left. How else do you suggest I take it besides in water? Protein shake? When it is only mixed with water, I just don’t like the grittiness of it. I also take Nicole’s collagen and have no problem with that – no grittiness and I actually like the taste.
Thanks in advance for your help.
HeatherI either shake it with something that has flavor, I have put it in a shake, I have used an EAA with or even just some crystal light. I either shake it in a shaker or use the hand held little mixer. Seems to work well.
I have mild to moderate diastasis recti and notice coning with many traditional ab exercises. For those who’ve dealt with this, what modifications did you (can I) make to continue strengthening the core without worsening the separation?
First off, when you see that just stop. You can start with some Transverse abdominal bracing. It’s deep core engagement—drawing your belly button toward your spine and cinching your midsection inward while exhaling. This take alot of practice. If this is a constant struggle a pelvic floor therapist could be a good next step. They can really help you with your deep ab engagement.
Hi!
Both times I’ve made the protein bark, while it tastes good, it’s not fully frozen even when I leave it in the freezer a few days. Am I missing something? I use Aldi’s non-fat greek yogurt and I’ve tried putting in an 8×8 pan as well as spread out thin on a baking sheet.
I’m not sure take another look at the recipe and cross every “t” and dot every “I”.
If there are 4 servings for the recipe and you have 8 halves then 2 halves = 1 serving
Instead of eating, four separate meals and my post workout shake and apple, can I combined my food and eat everything in three meals plus my post shake as long as I’m eating my calories?
I don’t see a problem with that at all. Do what feels good for you.
Good afternoon,
Mo, thanks for your quick response. I appreciate it!Have a great rest of your weekend!
HeatherYou’re welcome! Thank you
It can help with the your strength energy and recovery to give some basics. Yes you can take both.give it a try. I have definitely recovered better while taking it.
Hi
, Iam a morning workout person and I split my breakfast in half to eat before I train which is 6ish..after I workout should I then take the after workout meal or the rest of my breakfast? Also is it at min 2 to 2 1/2 hours between eating?Eat the post workout meal. THen eat the rest of your breakfast maybe a couple hours later depending on your hunger. YOu can space your meals out the way that works for you. I usually try to do 3 hours….but that’s my schedule.
I have a zucchini that is 675g, I sliced it and salt and peppered it then dehydrated it into chips. It ends up 44g when it’s finished. Do I track this as 1/2 a serving or 6 3/4 servings?
I guess I would just weigh it dehydrated because it’s just removing the water from it. It has such a low caloric impact that I’m sure it doesn’t impact your overall numbers.
Can you email [email protected] and let them know which ones so they can fix that? Thanks
