Hi Abbagale-
You can replace the protein powder with any of the proteins listed in the meal plan or on the grocery list. Just make sure the portion size is equivalent to the macros of the suggested protein powder serving.
I hope this helps!
Hi Bonnie-
Yes, you would just mix the oil I the hummus. You could swap the oil for almonds but oil is a source of fat only with no protein or carbs. The almonds will add some protein and carbs to the meal so just be aware of that.
I hope this helps! 🙂

Hi Sandra- ALl I can say is just trust the process. You’ve already made the decision to do the challenge so worrying is only going to cause you stress. Try to just let go of any worry and have fun! 🙂
It also helps to reach out to others who are doing the challenge and maybe in the same boat as you with what your goals are for this challenge.
Good luck!!
Hi Lisa-
Yes, that is what you should do. That is what I will be doing too! Good luck and enjoy the challenge! 🙂
Hi there-
If you scroll down on the nutrition page you’ll find the grocery list and recipe below all of the meal plans.
Here is the link incase you can’t find it: https://nicolewilkins.com/images/2018/01/NW-60DAYTC-GroceryList-01-1.jpg
Good luck! 🙂
Hi Marcia-
If you are unsure, select a meal plan based on your height. You can find a list of foods to swap in the grocery list here.
I wouldn’t substitute cashews for almonds. Cashews have a different calorie and macro profile that almonds. I would substitute your almonds with another fat source listed.
Good luck! 🙂
YESS!! Nicole did an awesome job creating these meal plan options and put a lot of time and thought into all of them! We are so excited that you are loving it! Enjoy the challenge and good luck!! 😀
Hi Michelle-
We don’t have any recommendations for specific brands of granola, just as basic and natural as you can possibly find 😉
Good luck!
Hi there-
I don’t understand your question. The meal plan in Phase 1 calls for one recipe, the No Bake Proat Bars, and it is listed here.
Hi Kim-
We are excited to have you as part of the challenge! You can use unsweetened coconut milk or skim (cow’s) milk, and for the protein shake you can use either one of the mentioned milks or just plain old water 😉
I hope this helps. Good luck!
Hi Laura-
We are so excited that you are excited and very happy to have you as part of the challenge! Yes, you can trade another food on the meal plan or if you have a dairy-free option of the same food that you’d like to use, just make sure the macros match up with the meal macros. For example, dairy-free cottage cheese or dairy-free yogurt.
There are macros outline for each meal so as long as you adhere to that you should be fine. It’s just much less complicated if you are able to stick to the meals outlined 😉
I hope this helps. Good luck!
Hi Sharon-
Glad you are happy with the vegetarian options! 🙂 For the turkey/salmon you will substitute with any VF protein option with a portion size that matches the macros for that meal. You can find a list of proteins in the grocery list here.
I hope this helps!
Hi Marie-
1. ‘CON’T’ is short for ‘continues’ meaning there is more than one page of the meal plan (there are 2 pages for each meal plan)
2. Choose a meal plan base on your height and weight. If you still aren’t sure then just go by your heightIt is best to go through all of the documents and read the instructions in each part of the program so that you have a full understanding of how to incorporate and execute each portion – strength-training, cardio and nutrition – of this program.
Good luck!
Yes, that is correct. In Phase 1, that would be 3 days you will be doing 30 min cardio in addition to your weight-lifting session.
Hi Gina-
With a rest pause you will just be resting the weights for a second (or maybe 8-10 seconds if necessary) but not taking a full rest between sets type of rest.
For example, if you have 10 reps of dumbbell shoulder presses to do and at rep number 6 you are feeling like you can’t crank out 4 more reps to reach 10, you will rest the dumbbells on your knees for about 5-10 seconds, then crank out the last 4 reps.
It’s like a ‘mini rest’ during your set. You just pause for a second to rest – ‘rest pause’ – for a mini recovery during a set.
I hope this makes sense. Good luck! 🙂
Hi Dina-
I would recommend choosing the next meal plan up and see how your body responds. The plan already calls for minimal cardio in Phase 1.
Good luck!
Hi Danka-
It is always better to use precaution if you don’t feel comfortable doing something so I would recommend using a Smith Machine for assistance. Smart thinking 😉
Good luck!
Hi there-
I don’t know how you would be able to monitor the change in intensity as you would on a step mill if you use regular stairs. For example, how would you be able to gauge that you are going from level 8 to level 15? Does that make sense?
Of course you can use your stairs for cardio but I don’t think you can accurately do the workout as outlined in the LB Dropper workout without using a step mill.
I hope this helps!
