Is there any problem with doing the cardio first then the weight training? I’ve been told in he past the two should be done a few hours apart.
If you are going to do them together, it would be better to do weight training first, then cardio after.
Just wondering, the high days I noticed when we do HIIT. I may do the HIIT on a day off day 4 and the day 5 just weights. Should I still keep high day on day 5. Or should I do high day on day 6 when I do weights and intervals? Not sure if I should mess around with it or not?
I would just keep everything as-is and not rearrange the high/low carb days even if you do HIIT on a different day.
I feel like if I did the plank with weights to ankle exercise towards the beginning of training day I would have been able to do more. By the time I got to those my arms were like jello 😜
Would that be an issue ??Well, that is probably why Nicole put it at the end of the workout lol! It’s a “finisher” to top you off 😉 You can move it to the beginning if you want to, but it wouldn’t have the same affect that Nicole intended.
I had grits for my post workout today,I think I messed up the amount🤦♀️ I measured it dry, it is supposed to be measured after it’s cooked correct?
If you look at page 98 in the food exchange list under “Starchy Carbohydrates” yu will see in the instructions to measure all foods cooked except hot cereals, and grits are considered a hot cereal so you will measure grants dry.
Hello! On page 73 – Womens plan 3 – meal 2 – you have 339g of nonfat cottage cheese as 2 LP. However, on the food exchange list for nonfat cottage cheese – 225g as 1 LP. That doesn’t add up. Please clarify.
Thanks!
Hi Traci-
I see what you are saying, that according to the exchange list, 2 servings of LP would be 450g, not 339g. I have an email out to Nicole to confirm the accurate portion seize, hold tight while I get an answer 🙂

Hi there.
If out off days are different from the calendar would we continue on the same high or low day? Or does it need to be modified ?
Thanks for everything. I love this program
MelissaIf you change your workout days, just keep the high/low carb days the same. It will throw everything else off wot your high/carb schedule if you try to match up the days to the rescheduled workout days and will start to get confusing and messy. Best to keep it simple and just keep the high/low carb days the same 🙂
Hello team
I was checking the video for the work out at home full equipment t and when I click on the Neutral grip Dumbbell press on day 5 I get the below page
EPIC 404 – ARTICLE NOT FOUND.
though I let you know.
Thank you so much, I will email tech support to let them know 🙂
Where would I find a substitute for certain exercises? Specifically, the pull up negatives?
Exercise substitutions can be found under each demo video (click on the exercise to access demo video)
I am having the same issue. Worked fine earlier this morning but now I can’t get access to the ebook
Please see my answer above
Hey guys, i am dealing with an lower back and sciatica issue….. i am only able to do limited workouts via machines only and low impact cardio…. if i still do the meal plan with the low/ high days and very limited workouts will i still see results or should i wait to do the challenge?
You should still see results without modifying the nutrition, but it really depends on what your nutrition and workouts were like the weeks and months leading up to this challenge.
At any rate, you can never go wrong by cleaning up your nutrition and increasing movement.
I down load the Challenge on my computer with no problem, but I can’t access it from my I-phone. I can open up the NW e-mail on my phone, but when I try to open the Challenge it takes me back to the “Enter Challenge” page like I did not pay for it.
When I looked at my NW account (dashboard) on my phone it did not even show that I paid for the program. My dashboard account on my computer shows I did pay for the Challenge.
Not sure what I need to do to see the program on my phone as well.
Thanks,
CarolynHi there, make sure you log into your account on your phone too. It won’t automatically log you in n your phone. If you keep having issues, please email [email protected] and someone can further assist you there with this issue.
What exercises can you recommend instead of lunges and squats? My knees hurt too much when I do them.
looking at workouts in the challenge – Barbell reverse Lunge, Walking twisting lunges,Curtsy lunge, and lateral lunge
Thanks in advance,
CarolynDo your knees hurt if you only do partial or half reps of these movements? If you can, still do the lunges and squats but minimize how low you go down by stopping just before your knees hurt and go back up. As long as you still feel tension and some burning in your muscles, you are working them! For example, if you can only go a quarter of the way down, then need to come back up before feeling pain, hold the squat or lunge for about 2-3 seconds before coming back up to increase the intensity since you can’t do full range of motion. Does that help?
When does the 15% discount expire? Would be nice to use the discount when your chocolate protein powder is back in stock.
I believe this discount is good through the duration of the current 40 Day Challenge 🙂
Hi, I have a question, I usually do IF and don’t eat until after I work out, Is that gonna be OK on this plan or do you recommend I eat before I work out?
You can eat all your meals within your eating window even if it starts after you workout if that works for you, that is totally fine 🙂
Hi,
I plugged in all my foods for the day and I’m over by 75 calories. I used the exchange list. Should I be concerned or, just stay consistent?
For example, 6oz of shrimp has 40g of
Protein on My Fitness Pal, but, the exchange has it at 25g of protein.Thank you!
You are good! Just stay consistent. I don’t know why, but whenever I am on target w/ my macros in MFP, I am always over on calories. If I am on target with my calories, then I am under on mat macros. Not sure why this is the case in MFP, but just aim to hit your macros within about 5g above or below your daily total target and you are good! 🙂
I realized that my 4 slices of turkey bacon are not even close to 25g of protein. It’s 2g of protein and about 20 calories per slice. Should I do 12 slices for a serving of LP?
Oh man, I have never heard of turkey bacon that is only 2g of protein per slice. What brand is it? Aim for 25g of protein, yes.
Any update from the team?
I just heard back, and the meal plan is correct. On age 61, the wording should be higher carbs, not higher calories. Sorry for the confusion, we are getting this corrected 🙂
Sorry if I’ve missed this somehow but is a “can” of tuna the small 3oz can? Or how many oz is one LP? Thanks!
In the exchange list, it explains that one serving of LP is about 25g of protein, so one serving of tuna would be the equivalent of the size that would equal 25g of protein, I hope that makes sense! 🙂
I’m a little confused about which meal plan to choose. I know it says go by height. Just want to verify I’m following the correct meal plan that will benefit me. I’m 5’6 190 lbs.
Follow Meal Plan 2, which is for people who are 5’4-5’6 if you are 5’6
Has anyone done a challenge while breastfeeding and if so, did you up the daily calories?
You will need to consult your doctor about your specific calorie requirements for breastfeeding 😉
Hello, is women’s meal plan 3 correct? Low carb day summary says 1888 calories and high carb day summary says 1816 calories, in the nutrition section introduction it says “higher calorie days” so I’m wondering if the high carb day is supposed to be higher calories (1816 obviously not being higher than 1888)?
I’m checking on this with Nicole (she is traveling this weekend) but will get back to you as soon as I get confirmation 🙂
On the option 2 meal states “5ml olive oil (used to sauté spinach) can we use this oil when sautéing ground beef? Its just I prefer to eat spinach especially baby spinach raw. Thanks
You can prepare the meals however you’d like to, it’s personal preference 🙂
I noticed the “high days” on the calendar is Monday and Friday but in the guide it is listed differntly on the right hand side. I am assuming we follow the calendar?
Please follow the calendar, we are getting this type-O corrected.

Hi. Anyone in Australia had experience finding alternatives to the US foods listed?
Specifically, I’ve never heard of these things before:
Turkey bacon
Ezekiel bread
Cheerios
Bragg’s Amino Acids
Coconut aminos
Pico de Gallo
Mrs DashAlso, are US cans of tuna ~95gm like our small ones?
I don’t live in Australia and am not familiar with what foods are available to you there, so I can’t help you with alternatives. But you can try to use the challenge food exchange list (page 98 of the ebook) to help you find foods that you DO have available to you in AUS. You can also use a food journaling app such as My Fitness Pal to track your calories and macros with food you have available to you and aim to hit your calorie and macro goals, more of an If It Fits Your Macros approach.
I hope that helps! 🙂
I’m going to need a week to prep for my food prep! 🙂
