Hi all, training sheet says 50 total but unsure whether right plus left is considered 1 full rep or each leg is a rep all by itself…hope that makes sense.

I would do 50 total counting each leg as 1

Hi,
Wondering which is correct:

Calendar says Interval cardio to go along with Saturdays glutes and hamstring workout for April 2.
Cardio Page 51 says- no cardio on Sat/Sun

Which is correct?

There was no cardio on Tuesday leg day so I am guessing no cardio on Saturdays leg day.

Please advise. Thank you

I would just follow what the calendar says.

Hi there.
I tore my ACL & meniscus. I am having a hard time doing the cardio. Any suggestions to help with cardio while injured?
Ughh I’m so upset. I needed to do this challenge to get me back in shape. It’s been a tough year so far. Thanks and appreciate your advise/ response.: (

Hi,
I’m not sure what is suggested for you or even comfortable. As the member stated above, I would check with your doc or PT.

Hi,
Are rest days a day off or light activity like walking the dog?

A day off…or whatever you feel like doing that rests your muscles from training hard.

Need clarification on high/low carb days. I downloaded the ebook Monday and it said today (Thurs 31st) is a high carb day. Was just reading on Facebook and they were talking about how today was low day. Went and looked online for clarification and now it says today is low day. Which is correct? I’ve already had 2 meals for high day….but I had planned on doing fridays workout today…..is this gonna mess things up?

Follow what the calendar says and no, it won’t mess things up for you. More food to train hard!

I do not see lots of options on the female plan for salad. How would I incorporate a southwest salad images attached. Thanks. Also I do not see fruit on my plan is that by design?

I’m not sure how you can fit that salad kit but you can have a salad by using the exchanges.

Is anyone else confused about the measurements for cottage cheese? The food exchange says 225g of cottage cheese is 1 serving. My plan tells me to eat 339g of cottage cheese as 2 servings. The math doesn’t work.

I think this was answered in another thread. The serving exchange should read 1 1/2 not 2.

As I was reading through the ebook I noticed that page 9 shows the HIGH Day on Friday for 3 consecutive weeks. Then on page 10 it shows the HIGH day on Thursday for 3 consecutive weeks. Then on page 61 it has a place that shows the HIGH Day on Thursday. Is page 9 wrong? Where it shows HIGH day on Friday for 3 consecutive weeks. Everything else is consistent but page 9 isn’t.

Follow the calendar schedule.

[Maureen]

Eating the high day on a different day isn’t going to mess things up for you. Don’t sweat it.

Do we use weights for cardio interval re-new workout?

Hi,
It looks like you need some dumbbells for this one.

Hi!
I’m 5’4” 3/4 and weigh 124. Do I go with the 5’4”-5’6” 130lb plan or the 5’4’ under 130 plan?
Thank you!
Joni

Looks like you are over 5’4 to me. Then go with the 5’4-5’6.

I don’t cook my cucumbers?
I am assuming most don’t so we measure that raw.And what if we want raw spinach how do we convert the measurements.
Actually for any veggies we want raw instead of cooked?
Thank you!

Prepare them how you would like. you don’t have to convert measurements. Calories in vegetables aren’t very much, it’s not something to worry about.

Sharon, per the nutrition section , all vegetables are to be cooked prior to weighing except lettuce .
See food exchange list page 99 Vegetable section..
Please someone let me know if I am wrong.

Good luck everyone!

there are vegetables that people just like better uncooked. You don’t have to cook them.

Hi!

I’m curious if a fatty protein can be substituted with a lean protein and a fat? Or, are those not equivalent?

Thanks![/quote
It’s not a true exchange.

Hello! My name is Carol Irwin, I’m a 60 year old mother of 4 grown men and Grandmother to 8, six boys and two girls. Super happy to be entered in this challenge and giving myself a motivating factor of pushing myself harder then I’m used to. I am fortunate that I work the afternoons into the evenings so I have the mornings to meal prep and workout. Not super thrilled with my before pictures but I’m looking forward to seeing some significant changes over the next few weeks. Thank you NW and team for this challenge and continued support. Best to all of us!

Good luck with it! I can’t wait to hear how it goes.

Thank you! I have a few more questions.
1)What’s the reasoning behind measuring certain foods in grams? And why does she measure meat when cooked? I have always measured raw meat uncooked. I’m use to doing macros and everything i have measured in the past has been measured in ounces. Trying to learn more about nutrition and just wondering these things?

2) If you workout first thing in the morning, does Nicole encourage Breakfast before your first workout?

3) When is the best time to drink BURN? Along with the preworkout TRAIN or after your workout?

1. Measuring in grams is more accurate than using cups. She prefers cooked but I know people who measure in raw. Whatever you do just be consistent with it.
2. Yes, with strength training I think its important to eat.
3. You can drink burn before cardio, or in the morning instead of coffee. I wouldn’t drink it after 3pm depending on when you go to bed. Drink Train prior to strength training.

Hey ladies.
I work third shift,so need to take friday and Sunday as my rest days this week. So I’m assuming I do Friday’s workout tomorrow and I will still be on track? And do I need to switch up my high and low carb days or keep it the same? I usually take Tuesdays and Fridays as rest days but my schedule is different this week and next, so will I do the same when I go back to those rest days as well? Thank you for your time

Feel free to switch up the workouts to suit your schedule. I would leave the carb cycling the same regardless of your lift schedule so it doesn’t get confusing.

Hi Maureen, your response says 6 servings but pdf now says 4. Is it 4 or 6 servings for the stuffed chicken recipe?

It should have been 6 servings all around. I just rechecked the email.

I’m coming from a very low carb keto/carnivore way of eating and having a hard time with the “starchy carbs”. Is it ok to make up my carbs from the veggie list as long as the macros are the same or will not having SC throw off my progress?

I don’t see a problem using vegetables but you are going to have to eat a shit ton to make up for it. Try the SC just for the post workout and go from there.

The post workout says OB 6 oz unsweetened almond milk/(ll)chicken but it’s 0 fat for the post workout macros? Both of those have some fat?

The fat in those isn’t enough to make an impact. Don’t sweat it!
