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!! 😀
Hi Jessica- I am so sorry to hear about your pain. Yes, you can substitute those movements. Good luck, and I hope your pain subsides soon! 🙂
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 🙂
I purchased the program, but it won’t let me view it or post pictures. How can I post my pictures or receive a refund?

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 Nicole,
This is my first challenge. I noticed that the meal plans don’t necessarily fit me perse. I am 5’5″ at 213 pounds.
which plan should i go with or how should i tweak it?
thanks, OmarHi Omar- you will chose the plan based on your height. Good luck 🙂

Make sure you read all of the information in the challenge Rules and FAQ so that you don’t miss any important info and dates. Good luck with the challenge! 😀
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 😉
Yep, as long as it is the equivalent of the same amount of eggs w/yolk and egg whites called for in the meal plan, you can have them boiled, sautéed, raw or however you prefer 😉
Awesome, good luck Jaimee!
Hi there- This is a really tough one because I have no idea what your crossfire workouts are or what muscle groups you’re working. If crossfit is your priority, then yes, you would do you crossfire workouts and work the workouts for the challenge around your crossfire. If you want to try to win this challenge and do everything you can to give this challenge 100%, then I would say just put your crossfire workouts on hold for the next 60 days and focus all your energy on the workouts for this challenge. Just pick which of the two you want to be a priority because one of them will have to take a back seat to the other since the workouts will likely conflict and you don’t want to overtrain muscle groups 😉
I hope this helps! Good luck 😀
Hi Tammy- generally you can lift little heavier w/ the Smith Machine because the bar is fixed, and the movement of the bar is different than a free bar/regular rack so your muscles engage in a different way any time there is a different aspect to exercise equipment. If you always use a regular rack, it may be good to change things up just for the challenge. Then when the challenge is over you can go back to your preferred exercise equipment.
I hope this helps, good luck with the challenge! 🙂
Hey there- nope, 8 or 9pm is not too late to eat 🙂 You could eat at 10:30pm if you needed to, there is no meal cut-off time in this program. Good luck! 😀
Hi Ashley- yes, that is correct! 🙂
Hi Kelli- Mahalo! 🙂
For best results, we recommend you stick to only the foods and beverages listed on the meal plan and grocery list. Good luck with the challenge 😀
MFP = My Fitness Pal
😉
As long as the resistance band has pretty tight tension, yes you can use it 🙂
Hi Jennifer- Nicole suggests when and how to take the supplements in the Supplements portion of the program 🙂
Hi Glenda- yep, that is correct 🙂
Hi Glenda! 🙂
Nope, don’t change a thing! If you do weights, followed by cardio and stretching, just consume your post workout shake when you’re completely done with all of your exercising. Good luck with the challenge, and kick butt!!
