Those should be fine. You can find this info on the food exchange list & grocery list under “Beverages”
Hi,
How much rest is there meant to be once one round of the cardio circuit has been completed?
Thanks
As much or as little as you need 🙂
Hi,
Not necessarily challenge related, but does anyone know if the essential aminos are safe to use while breastfeeding?
This would be a question for your OB, just send him/her the ingredients label and ask if that would be safe for you to consume while breast feeding.
Due to low back pain what is an alternative to this?
You can do regular sit-ups instead of straddle-ups.
Does this plan allocate for alcohol at all? I am assuming no. 60 days without it. Just checking.
It would be best to refrain from alcohol for best results 😉
That large food scale in her videos is amazing. Any idea where to buy it? Can’t find on Amazon.
Hey there- I will shoot her a message and find out 🙂
On the road for the morning and forgot to pack my meal 2, should I eat it this afternoon between meal 3 and 4? Or just skip it for the day?
Yep, you can eat it later in the day 🙂
What is the time today that the photos are due?
You can find this info on page 8 of the ebook.
Would it be acceptable to include lamb on the fatty protein list?
Sure, but if you would like to incorporate any foods not listed on the food list or in the meal plan or recipes, you’ll have to calculate the accurate portion size calculations for your meal plan by entering it into a food journaling app such as My Fitness Pal. Best of luck with the challenge 🙂
What would you consider low fat granola? Is there a certain fat percentage it needs to be less than? Also would you recommend any particular brands?
Nicole hasn’t specified any particular brand but I would say anything 6g of fat or under per serving would be considered low fat granola 🙂
Do we have meal 5 as our last meal on non workout days?
Correct, it is either post workout or meal 5.
Hi. Can I eat meal 2 as meal 1 and option 2 of meal 2 as meal 2. So basically both meals in meal 2 as two different meals?
Yep! 🙂
Hi,
So before I purchased the challenge I wrote an e-mail if it is possible for someone with knee issues to participate. I was assured that it is with subtitutions.
Cold you please help me?
I was doing the lower body day, and it was a horrible pain, and couldn’t find anything that I could subsitute with the planned movements. I currently struggle with:
-Squats
-Sissy squats
-Lunges
-Jump squats
-Lateral Jump squats
-frog jumps so basically anything that would tax my knees.How could I subsitute these and still get reuslts?
Thanks for the anwser in advance!
Hi Anett!
I remember you asking that question, and I am the one who answered you saying that you could modify and/or substitute. I am listing either modifications or substitutes for the exercises you need modifications/substitutions for below.
1. Squats: substitute with one of the below exercises:
minimum range squats: https://youtu.be/FBk9DTYgBdc?si=o–7Db-6qczUbgpO
squats against the wall using an exercise ball (don’t go too low, stop at the point before any pain/discomfort): https://youtu.be/dxWQgMpEFjs?si=qBo8RML37P2SmWt_
2. Sissy squats: wall sits or (if you have access) leg extensions w/ minimal range of motion, no knee pain (so stop just before the point of pain if any point feels painful)
3. Lunges: modify range of motion (so only go about half way down into the lunge, or just stop just before any point of pain/discomfort)
4. Jump squats: regular body weight squats (take the jump out of it) and only go as low as still feels OK without any knee pain/discomfort.
5. Lateral Jump squats: take the jump out of it and you can do side shuffles or side-to-side step taps.
6. frog jumps: body weight squat pulses (no jumping) and only go as low as still feels OK without any pain or discomfort.I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions! You will still be working your leg muscles without compromising your knee 🙂
I usually work out after work, so later in the day….. then i am usually full but i still need to eat dinner….. any advise??
You should eat your post-workout meal after your lifting session, and that can be your last meal of the day too, so just push all of your other meals up an hour r two if you can so that it all works out with your schedule.
For the tri-sets like yesterday Monday on block 4 and 5, are we only doing 1 set of those exercises?
Which version of the workouts are you looking at: Gym, At-Home (full equipment) or At-Home Dumbbell/Bodyweight Only?
I have seen a couple FB posts about overhead squats and I don’t see them on my workout. What am I missing? Thank you.
The overhead squat is only in the At-Home Dumbbell/Bodyweight version of the workouts, so follow whichever of the three workout versions you are currently doing: Gym, At-Home Full Equipment or At Home Dumbbell/Bodyweight Only
In our EBook it states the # is #BUILDNBURN for challenge photo submissions, but on the actual submission page it states the # is ##BUILDNBURN. Which one is correct for submitting photos with? I submitted with what the Ebook said, but realized there were two #’s on the online submission form for it. Can you confirm? Thank you!
Sorry about the type-O, it should just the one hashtag in front, not two, so #BUILDNBURN
I have a question – normally the last block is more cardio related with no rest – on Day 2 lower body – are we suppose to rest between the triset or not?
If you feel like you need to rest at any point between the last triset you can, otherwise try to keep going, which will keep that HR up 🙂
Okay, So I’m going to be “real” here. I’m a little tea pot – short and stout.
The guide says to follow the meal plan based on your height. That puts me in Meal Plan 1.
That is 1440 calories a day. Currently my average daily calorie burn is 2500 (without working out).
I really tried yesterday to follow the meal plan, but it left me extremely hungry and lethargic.
I am overweight now and carry it all in my mid-section. I am 5’2″.
Is there a way to modify the meal plan for a target goal of 170 pounds? Thoughts?!?Note: I added this picture because it is my motivation of where I want to be again.
In the picture I’m 52 years old and at my goal weight of 170 pounds.We can’t individually modify meal plans for challenge participants but you can try bumping up to Meal Plan 2 or 3 and see how that works for you. It might be a wise idea since we are only in Phase 1 and your calories will decrease more in Phase 2.
Amazon thought I’d be interested in this and I might just be! I use a food scale and have a special bowl that I zero out and then weigh stuff, but this looks pretty great.
Great, thanks for sharing 🙂
Can I use allulose to sub for brown sugar and maple syrup? On the vegan waffles it asks for 1 tbsp maple syrup and vegan oatmeal cookie it asks for 1 cup of brown sugar. Reason I would prefer to use this sugar is due to prevent high blood sugar spikes trying to bring A1C down. TY
You can try it and see how it works with the recipe, yep 🙂
I may have missed this, but is there a certain amount of time between meals? I have had meal plans that you have your meals about 3 hrs apart. I just wanted to check about that. Also, I am not able to do my workout until the evening. Do I switch the last two meals?
Yep, about 3-4 hours a part is good for meal timing. If you work out in the evening, just have your post-workout meal after your workout. You can switch the last two meals if that is how the post-workout falls in your meal schedule.
