In the substitution list it says starchy carbs are 25g carbs, and veggies are 10g of carbs. Could I replace 1 SC with 2.5 veg? Or would I be better to just calculate the macros/calories myself for that meal? I am a veggie lover!
Im sure that would be ok. If you are super savvy with macros you might want to double check. I wouldn’t want you to be super low carb. Remember the numbers with exchanges aren’t exact.
Can somebody check this out it has for the spaghetti squash casserole. It states one serving is.
2 v, 1/2 F,P
V 100 grams lettuce spring mix
1/2 v cucumbers
F
OC
I am just clarifying that would mean three vegetables total one and a half fats and one protein is that accurate?Double checking with Nicole now
Hi! Both supplements Power Train and Power Burn say consume prior to exercise. Can they be mixed together? As in consumed all at once or is that too much? And if it is too much, what is the recommendation?
Thanky you! Second challenge, first time utilizing supplements.
Hi there,
I would take Train prior to strength. You can take burn prior to as well or even cardio. Utilize it like when you need more energy. I wouldn’t take it past 3pm…if you are sensitive to caffeine it might keep you up like you drank some coffee. That’s how I use them.I think what happened was the email said the call was last night, but when you clicked the link it said today. We will be sending the replay out today if you missed it. Make sure you are signed up for Marco Polo to get the daily video messages and notifications.

Hi! Sorry it’s not on the plan I just wasn’t sure if I wanted to use it as an exchange how I could incorporate it. I use it normally in place of noodles for some things. Thank you.
If you aren’t skilled with tracking macro numbers etc. I would stick to the exchange list that Nicole has provided for you. It makes it easier and you don’t have to figure out how and where something can work.

If there are 3 sets, is it better to do the same weight for all 3 sets, or to start at one weight (for example 25lbs),then increase the weight for each set (30 for set #2, then 35 for set #3)
From page 16
So if you are one of those who is always reaching for the 12-15 pound dumbbells on
a certain exercises, do yourself a favor: Step out of your comfort zone and reach for
the 20 pounders. You might not be able to reach the listed number of reps, but at
least you’ll be challenging yourself and overloading the muscle.
You can always drop the weight back down if it proves to be too heavy.So it looks like you need to pick up the heavier weights. Sometimes after the first set you can feel you can go heavier because you reached the rep range with ease.
I’ve been doing the womens meal plan 2, I’ve been eating the bagel and egg whites. I want to try the cauliflower oats. Can we take both options from meal 1 to eat in one day?
Yes, If you wanted to eat an option more than once you can do that as well. Or you can eat for meal 1 the first option and for meal 2 the second option from meal 1. Mix and match.
Gotcha! Thank you so much!
You’re welcome! Good luck
For the vegan meals plans protein is referred to as “P”. For the regurlar its LP and FP. If you are going to eat from both meal plans, the only caveat is that you have to exchange from it’s own exchange list. If you eat vegan you must use the vegan meal plan exchange list and vice versa. They aren’t meant to be mixed and matched any other way. So the “P” is correct.
I am part of the VIP. The email says there is a call tonight but I think it is tomorrow from what Nicole said? Which is correct?
I believe it’s tomorrow night. 4pm PST Today was the Facebook live to answer questions about the challenge.
Are accountability calls daily and can you say about what time? If already registered when is the deadline to add the VIP package to my challenge??
Nicole hops on the app call Marco Polo at random times each day. They aren’t scheduled like the weekly zooms you guys will do. I would look to add it before registration closes. Today is the last day to sign up for the challenge. Email [email protected] to add that to your challenge package I believe your first call is tomorrow so you won’t want to miss that.
I have recently gotten back into the gym consistently, but will be making a jump from 30 min workouts to these longer ones. In the past, I have skipped workouts because of my crazy schedule with work and other responsibilities when time does not allow. I’d like to call it a success if I do a shorter workout this time around so that I actually finish the program instead of giving up because I got behind…
With that in mind, how should I modify these workouts if I know I only have 30 minutes on a given day. Debating between doing fewer sets of all exercises or starting the workout and stopping wherever I get…
Thanks!
I would get in as much as you can. The first couple weeks of a new routine always takes longer, so you may find that you are able to squeeze in more as you progress. Just do the best you can
I’ve noticed the last few challenges have not included HIIT cardio when older challenges used to regularly include it. I’m not complaining at all, but I’m just curious about the reasoning for not having HIIT as part of the challenges as of late? (I’ll do some HIIT sprints once in a great while just to challenge myself but I’ll admit I like not having to do it 3+ times a week to see results!)
Cardio crush would be close to HIIT in the cardio section. HIIT can be hard on the body if you aren’t eating enough, or recovering properly, stretching rolling etc. Method to Nicole’s madness….I can’t be sure.
Hi, I think the video for hamstring stretch shows up for the video labeled ‘glutes/piriformis’ as well as ‘hamstring stretch’
Hi there, can you tell me what page this is on please? Thanks
I am 5’3″ & 220 pounds. Can you help me figure out what meal plan I should be using? Thank you so much!
Use the plan according to your height.
Thank you Maureen!
Great to be working with you again!
Pleasure is mine! Shout if you need anything
Hi all!
I am still trying to buy the Vanilla protein and it is out of stock. I don’t want to lose the 25% off opportunity. Will I still be able to use the discount when it is back in stock?You won’t lose the discount. When it comes back in, see if you get the discount and if it doesnt work? Email [email protected] and I’m sure they will take care of you.
On the recipe it says that the serving size for the whole recipe is good for 4 servings. I am bit confused. Im trying to figure out so for one serving do we eat with one whole pita bread or do we half it?
The serving size for the chicken salad itself would be mix it all together and weigh it all. Divide by 4. That will tell you how much to dish it out evenly. Whatever is listed below your actual meal just eat what goes with it. I would take the whole pitas half them like she said and that makes 4 pieces. So 1/2 a piece goes with each serving. That’s how I read that.
I have a lot of mixture left after using only 1/2 cup for 6 servings. Should it be a little over 1/2 cup per serving?
it’s ok. If you followed the directions precisely then I would just evenly distribute what you have left. It’s all good.
Hi
Is there a special FB page for just this challenge or it is it nicole’s regular page.

Hi,
I am looking at the cardio options and find myself again where I can’t do the options there due to back/SIJ issues. Weirdly, whilst I can’t do the spin bike I can do the echo bike (probably because I’m way more upright). Normally I just make up my own echo bike interval training session, but I never get the amazing results that others seem to get, so wondering if there is any guidance to the best way to get a workout done using the echo? Unfortunately I’m also out on many other options while I’m dealing with a torn meniscus too! (I’m falling apart!! Haha).
Thank you!I think you are doing the right thing…if the echo bike is your option right now. That’s what you got. The cardio isn’t going to make or break it. Sounds like your echo workouts would be great. That’s a tough cardio. meet yourself where you are and do the stuff you can until the best of the ability and let’s gooooo!
Is this really 18 tablespoons?
are you referring to your meal plan or the exchange list? one exchange is 1 cup of egg whites.
