    Hi Wendy- You can do whichever would feel best on your body as far as when you need a rest day 😉 Good luck with the rest of the challenge!

    Hi Perry! Do the best you can with what you have to work with. Even with more rest in between, I personally think it would be bets to challenge yourself as much as possible 😉

    Hi Dee! That is SO awesome!! You will be working out Friday evening, twice on Saturday and again on Sunday, so you might want to just skip the workout Friday morning since you’ll be working every muscle group at least once over the weekend 😉

    Have a BLAST!!

    Hi Tjay! Correct, but take a look at the recipe again and make sure you have the updated version: https://176p3x1o5f5d19fpdxw83g5v-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/images/2019/02/2019_BUNSGUNS_Recipes-03-1.jpg

    Moving forward, we are working on altering challenge participants if/when a challenge recipe or exercise is revised/updated 😉

    Good luck with the rest of the challenge, girl, you’ve got this!!!

    Hi Jennifer- I am not sure if you are addressing the person who tried mixing the crepe recipe into a shake, or if you are just asking a general question. But if you want to try doing this, then just throw all of the ingredients in a blender for the meal on the day you want to try this (if it’s high carb day, follow the crepe recipe for the high carb day, if it’s low carb day, follow the crepe recipe for low carb day) and see how it turns out.

    I haven’t tried doing this so I can’t instruct you other than the suggestions above. Good luck and let us know how it turns out! 🙂

    Hi Becky- Nicole designed each of the meals to match up to the same macros for each meal, but that doesn’t mean that the carb totals for each of food item are “swappable.” The make-up of each of the foods in the meal plans make up the totals. If you try to swap the foods, it could throw off the totals and the macros for each meal, so this is not something I recommend you do if you want to stay 100% on point for the challenge.

    You can choose different meals, but keep the foods in the each meal the same as it is written in the meal plan 😉 Good luck with the rest of the challenge! 😀

    Hi JoAnne- you can do these with bands as an alternate exercise to do at home 🙂

    Good luck with the rest of the challenge!

    Hi Julie- yep, that should work fine as an alternate exercise 🙂

    Hey there- you are in the Meal Plan 1 category because of your height. If you want to achieve your goals, lose as much body fat as you can on this challenge and really challenge yourself, I suggest you stick with Meal Plan 1. By switching to Meal Plan 2 you may not see the results you want to see at the end of the challenge.

    It is such a short challenge and you don’t have much farther to go! You’re almost there, just hang tight! Try to drink more water and keep as busy as you can. Or at least try to keep your mind busy and not think about food, as just the thought of food can sometimes make people feel hungry.

    Good luck with the rest of the challenge!

    Hi Beth- I actually just wrote this past Tip Me Tuesday article about this very topic! If you are a member of Nicole’s site, you can read it here: https://nicolewilkins.com/tip-me-tuesday-change-your-focus/

    I absolutely do not believe a female can gain 5lbs of muscle in one month. If I am working diligently, I can gain 4-5lbs of muscle in a YEAR. I have been lifting heavy for 8 years now, and it is very, very difficult (generally speaking) for a female of any age to gain pure muscle. It takes a lot of hard work, lifting heavy, very little cardio and being in a caloric surplus to even gain just 4-5lbs of pure muscle in 12 months, let a lone one month. Of course some women can gain muscle more easily than others, but not that easily or quickly 😉

    I hope this helps! 🙂

    Hi Julie- try to keep the workouts in the same order as Nicole has them written in the challenge. She has strategically placed them in the order they are for optimal rest between specific muscle groups. Working out 5 days in a row is fine, but just keep the workouts in order 😉

    Good luck with the rest of the challenge!

    Hi Heather- no, there is no cut-off time for your last meal. It can be 10pm if necessary 😉

    Correct 😉 All 7 sets on one leg first, the idea is to have minimal rest for the muscle you’re working. If you switched legs between each set, it would defeat the purpose of the intensity technique.

    Good luck!

    83g is about 3oz and meat looses quite a bit of weight after cooking. You’re good 🙂

    Hi Kelli- as Nicole has mentioned several times throughout the Nutrition Portion of the program, you can choose any meal and have in any order (except the post workout meal) because the calories and macros are the same for all meals except pos-workout meal/meal 5.

    I hope you read all of the info carefully and watched all the videos so that you didn’t miss any important info! Good luck with the challenge.
