ModeratorHi Savannah- it is recommended to choose one of the three meals for best results but if you have experience macro counting and feel comfortable eating the foods you like and staying on target w/ macros outlined then that is up to you.
Naomi
ModeratorLOL, yes, hey will burn like hell 😉 It is recommended to do them on a step, ledge or other type of platform. Good luck!!

ModeratorHey B- don’t drink your protein in-between cardio. If you are doing weights, then cardio just go right to your cardio after weights and consume your post-workout meal within 30-45 min after your workout.
If you ever break up your weights and cardio into separate sessions, only consume your post-workout meal after weight training, not cardio.

ModeratorHi Danielle- I do not know of an equivalent off hand, so the bets option would be to choose another meal that doesn’t call for Ezekiel bread.
Naomi
ModeratorNo, the challenges are only available on this site 😉
Naomi
ModeratorHey there- Nicole designed the workouts in the order that she did and in the way that she did with straight sets, not mixing it up or doing super sets unless it is indicated, for a reason. This will maximize the intensity of the workouts and maximize your muscles.
Also, if you’ve been rotating between three exercises for a long time, you will be surprised at how changing up your workout technique will affect your muscles and physique.
My best advise is to do the workouts as they are laid out in the program 🙂

ModeratorLOL- going the club Glenda, I am not good at Math either! But this is what I recommend doing:
– make the recipe as indicated, then weigh the whole parfait
– after you get the total weight in grams of the parfait, divide that total by 4
– for example, if the total parfait weights 100g (I have no idea, just using that as an example) then 100 divided by 4 = 25g.
– Take 25g and multiply it x 3 and that is 1.5 servings (in this example 1.5 servings would be 75g)There may be an easier way to do this (my way seems like a long round about way,lol) but that is how my brain can make sense of figuring out 1.5 serving lol!
Anyone else w/ suggestions please chime in! Good luck Glenda!

ModeratorHi Deliris- no, you don’t need to use the stevia if that is what you prefer 🙂
Naomi
ModeratorPer each individual banana 😉
Naomi
ModeratorHi Nancy- I would go with a medium banana, so roughly 100-120g
Naomi
ModeratorOk gotcha! No, a gallon a day is ideal. I truly think it is just a matter of giving your body a few days to a week to adjust to the new eating plan 😉
Naomi
ModeratorApril-digestive enzymes might help. Make sure you’re drinking plenty of water to keep things ‘moving.’
I didn’t understand the last question.
Naomi
ModeratorMake sure you read all of the information in the Nutrition section (and every section) of the program so that you don’t miss any important information 😉 It explains the following:
“Every meal in your nutrition plan has the same total calories and macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates and fat). Since you have three options for every meal, you can essentially swap out any meal on this plan for any other! The one exception here is your post-workout meal, which you should only eat on weight-training days. When you don’t weight train, don’t eat it. This meal should always be taken within 30-45 minutes of your weigh-training workout.”
Goo luck with the challenge 🙂
Naomi
ModeratorHi April- you body will adjust 😉 … it’s your first day, so give it time and trust the process.
Good luck with the challenge!
Naomi
ModeratorHi Amanda- Follow Nicole’s suggestion above with the meal times, however depending on what time you workout, you will follow the post-workout meal instructions as stated under the Post Workout meal in the meal plan:
“Eat this within 30-45 minutes after your weight training workout and adjust the meals accordingly”
Naomi
ModeratorHi- it sounds like you really won’t have what you need to do the workouts as outlined in either the gym or home workouts with the limited access to equipment you will have, so I would suggest starting the entire challenge as soon as you are able to do all or most of he workouts in the program. Otherwise, you really aren’t doing the program but a very, very modified version of it 😉
As far as nutrition goes, I would recommend continuing to do what you have been doing and start the PS nutrition plan with Phase 1 as you start the Phase 1 workouts.
Have fun on the boat and please let us know if you have any other questions when you start the PS Challenge! 😀
Naomi
ModeratorLOL, very true! ;-P
Naomi
ModeratorLOL, I am so sorry- I glanced at the letters under the message and I saw ‘j-e-s’ for some reason. I apologize, Jennifer! 🙂
Naomi
ModeratorHi Krystal- the only other options if you don’t want to eat the raisins is to choose one of the other meals o the meal plan that doesn’t contain the raisins 😉
Naomi
ModeratorHi Jessica- weigh veggies raw 🙂
Naomi
ModeratorThank you Brenda, we are correcting that 🙂
Naomi
ModeratorSince you are 5’6.5 go with the height over 5’6 meal option 🙂
Naomi
ModeratorHey there- Cheerios or rice cakes is not a replacement for an apple. An apple is faster absorbing and the macro profile is different, it isn’t just based on the amount of carbs.
If you don’t want to eat an apple, my best recommendation is to choose one of the other two meal options for post workout 😉
Naomi
ModeratorHey there- 1c = 84g so 2 cups is about 170g
Naomi
ModeratorHi tracy- yes, that’s correct! 🙂
