    Yes, you can drink them. There is not a nutritional difference in a plain cooked egg white vs. raw.

    Hi Mandy- this program does not have food swaps/exchanges, but there are 15 different meal options to choose from, so I would choose a different meal if you don’t eat oats. Since all the melas have roughly the same calories/macros, they are all interchangeable 🙂

    Hi Stacey- I would not be concerned with that, no. Just follow the meal plan correlating with your height as you have been. Great start to the challenge, keep it up! 😀

    Hi there! Please make sure you read all of the information so that you don’t miss anything important. In the Supplement Section Nicole explains “if you choose to add supplements, here’s what I recommend,” so the supplements listed are optional 😉

    I hope this helps, and good luck with the challenge!

    Yes, you can switch up your rest days if you need to 🙂 Good luck!

    My husband recommends “Bang” energy drink. Out of all energy drinks it’s not bad…

    For this challenge, I suggest sticking to what Nicole recommends 😉

    I always drink my egg whites. May I continue drinking them or must they be boiled? Is there a nutritional difference?

    Please see my above response regarding how you prefer to consume your egg whites 😉

    Hi Timikie- if you IG page is private, Nicole will not be able to see any of your posts regardless of hashtags or tags, etc. If you post on your own facebook page and the post is public and you put the appropriate hashtags, Nicole will be able to see your post. You don’t have to post in the community page in order for Nicole to see your facebook post as long as your facebook page post is not private and you include the challenge hashtags.

    I hope this helps! Good luck 🙂

    If you have an intolerance to or dislike any of the foods in any of the meals, then you can choose any one of the other meals. We do not have food swaps/exchanges in this program, but there are 15 different meals to choose from that all have the same calories and macros, so you can eat meal #4 for your first meal if you want to and eat a meal more than once.

    Sharon- that is correct 🙂

    in reply to: activity level and calories #225477
    Naomi
    Moderator

    Hey there- that would be more of a personalized meal plan situation since there is a wide variety of daily activity levels among our challenge participants and we can’t customize each meal plan based on daily activity levels associated with jobs. The meal plans correlate with the workouts, cardio and goal of each phase.

    I hope this helps answer your question! Good luck with the challenge 🙂

    Hi Rebecca- that should be fine, yes 🙂 Good luck with the challenge!

    in reply to: Fat burner #225470
    Naomi
    Moderator

    Hey there- yes, because in Phase 1 you are building muscle and fat-burners are for the fat-loss/shredding phase, which is Phase 2. Fat burners should only be used as an extra boost, and for a short period of time, while you are in more of a caloric deficit – consuming less calories and doing more cardio.

    You also don’t want to be taking fat burners for a long period of time, so if you started taking fat-burners in Phase 1, they wouldn’t likely be as effective by the time we are in Phase 2.

    I hope this helps! Good luck 🙂

    Hi Sharon!

    1. about a gallon a day
    2. stevia is ok, yes. I would stick to food items listed in the meal plan and on he grocery list only, but that is just my recommendation for the best results.
    3. cucumbers and spinach do add some calories and carbs, celery will add next to nothing so you should be ok with that. My best recommendation is to stick to the meal plan as it is laid out as closely as possible for best results.

    Happy first day, have a great one!! 😀

    Hey there- it will tell you were the drop sets are in the workouts, for example, leg extensions on Day 2 it says “drop sets”: https://nicolewilkins.com/challenge/60-day-total-body-transformation-challenge-2019/?section=training-phase-1

    Good luck with the challenge 🙂

    Hi Aiste- yes, if you can find any sugar-free, fat-free pudding mix or jello mix, that should work. Good luck with the challenge 🙂

    Hi Nicole & Team! I’m so excited to start this challenge tomorrow!! Quick question on the cardio. I know it says this is the area with the most freedom as long as following the guidelines. I was wondering if I can replace the treadmill once or twice a week with swimming? I was a year round swimmer for most of my adolescence-teen years and I really enjoy doing sprints in the pool. Is this okay to do or should I just stick to the treadmill/stepmill as written? Thank you so much for everything you all do!! 🙂 ~Ashley

    Yes, you can swim for your cardio 🙂 Good luck!

    Hi Omar- you will chose the plan based on your height. Good luck 🙂

    Hi Yvette- wow, no sprouted grain bread 🙁 Your best bet would be to choose one of the other meals that includes ingredients you have access to.

    Good luck with the challenge 🙂

    Hi Ashley- you can add any of the condiments/seasonings listed in the grocery list, or any spices/seasonings that wouldn’t add calories, such as stevia and cinnamon.

    I hope this helps! Good luck with the challenge 🙂

    It would be best to stick with only the foods/beverages listed in the meal plan and grocery list for best results. You can do whatever you choose, but we recommend you stick to what Nicole has on the plan 😉
