I would love this information as well. How much is a consultation call with you, as well? My email is [email protected]
Can you please email your inquiry to [email protected] and someone can get you prices/packaging? Thank you
The ounces in the meal plan 2 chicken burrito are only 2oz
Shouldn’t it be 4oz??
This is my 3rd attempt asking on the forum

Hi Brenda- I am double checking with Nicole and waiting to hear back 🙂
Is deer meat something that can be added to the diet and if so, what can it replace? We have some steaks and backs traps in the freezer that need to be ate. Thank you
Hey there- I don’t know what the calories and macros are for the venison you have, so I can’t advise you on what to swap it with or how much. I know meat can keep in the freezer for a long time, so my advise would be to wait another 58 days when the challenge is over before you thaw out and eat the venison 🙂
Hey guys! I started the 60 day transformation challenge on Saturday, 2 days earlier than schedule, just because I didn’t work that weekend. For this upcoming weekend, should I do filler workouts and get back on schedule with everyone else or continue to be 2 days ahead? Will I still be able to qualify for the weekly prizes and what not? Just wanted to see what everyone else thought. When I work weekends I do 3 12s in a row, but I’m still going to be working out!
Thanks guys! Let me know your thoughts!
Hi Sarah- it is totally up to you if you want to stay two days ahead or catch up (catch ‘back’?) with everyone else. You will still qualify for the challenge if you finish early, there is no way for us to know what day you finish, we only know if you have or haven’t submitted your after photos before the deadline. That is the only thing we will know that has anything to do with you qualifying to place in the challenge.
Does that make sense?
Ok but do you, as a fitness professional, have any opinion on it?
I asked Nicole in the post prior to the q&a but I don’t think many of those questions got answered on the live, and since I couldn’t get attend the live I still don’t have an answer for my husband LOL
He’s doing the challenge but won’t eat eggs until he hears it from one of you that it’s ok.
Ahh, gotcha- I don’t know your husbands medical history or what issues he’s had with his cholesterol, so I wouldn’t want my opinion about cholesterol to take precedent over what he has been medically advised to do. That being said, I feel that egg yolks, cholesterol and all, are perfectly healthy and nutritious for almost anyone – pending any medical predispositions that may be adversely affected by any of the nutritional components of egg yolks.
*I personally feel that high cholesterol is not necessarily unhealthy and know a number of people who are in amazing health and fitness shape who have high cholesterol (even as high as 400+)
Does this help?
Hi team 🙂
I just remembered a few challenges ago when I’ve uploaded my after pictures the title was “before”.
I was a bit confused but I considered it’s a typo and uploaded anyway.
Just wanted to give you a heads up for the end of this challenge if there is a typo.Thank you!
Thanks for the heads up! Best of luck with the challenge 😉
I’m scratching my head about the height vs weight. You mention to go by height. I’m 5’3 about 140, intermediate (+) weight lifter and runner. My calories seem low. Dare I jump to meal plan 2? Does an inch really make a huge difference?
Hey there- Nicole created this program with the nutrition Meal Plan breakdowns between different heights based on years of knowledge and experience. That being said, you know your body, how it responds and what works bets for you. If you feel like you would see better results with Meal Plan 2 rather than Meal Plan 1 then that is totally up to you 🙂
Good luck with the challenge! 😀
What are your thoughts on egg yolks affecting cholesterol?
Some people say it’s ok to have the yolks and it won’t negatively affect cholesterol and then some say to not eat the yolks at all.
And does this change if the person already has cholesterol?
There are a lot of myths surrounding cholesterol. I would highly recommend reading the book “Cholesterol Clarity” by Jimmy Moore 😉
I understand that if you are not sure which food plan to choose, we are to choose the one that corresponds to our height. Since I am 5’3″, then I would choose the lowest calorie Meal Plan 1. However, I’m wondering if that is correct for me since I am 280#s, certainly not under 130 as that plan list. Should I perhaps start with Meal Plan 2 so I would then be able to drop down to the lower calorie plan after I hit a plateau at some point? Thanks.
Regardless of your weight, you will choose the meal plan that corresponds with your height. Otherwise, you may not see the progress you’d like to see with this challenge. Best of luck to you! 🙂
I was wondering if it was possible to get an exercise swap for the dumbbell Bavarian squat with stiff leg deadlift.
I could only get like 8 per leg done this morning and that took me like 10 minutes. I kept falling and stumbling over.
I tried doing them as separate exercises as well and that didn’t help.
Thanks!!
Hey there- I would recommend doing the exercise, but without any extra weight, with body weight only. Go slow, and don’t go as low as you have been. Keep doing the exercise this way until you build more strength and stability. You will be surprised and feel so accomplished when you get the hang of it! Don’t give up when something is hard or challenging, keep at it and you’ll conquer it in no time! That’s what this challenge is all about, you’ve got this!! 😉
Hey there! I have a quick question. I was wondering if it’s ok to substitute smith machine squats with regular free weighted barbell squats?
I’m all about free weighted squats but don’t mind switching over to the smith machine 🙂 Just thought I’d check with the experts to see if it makes much of a difference.Thank you!
Yep, you can do that if you’d like 😀
What do you all drink with your isolate? What do you mix it with?
It should be mixed with water unless otherwise indicated on the meal plan.
Heeeeey! Why do I feel the criss cross kicks only in my quads? I do not feel the
In my abs at all. Any suggestions!?Try crunching your abs in a little more and tightening/contracting your abs. Get that mind/muscle connection going and see if that helps! 🙂
Hi, I had difficulty eating all the food yesterday and had to make myself eat meal 4 at 8:30 pm, meal 5 didn’t happen. I consumed about 1230 cal.
I eat breakfast at 9am and workout at 5:30/6 pm. With meals spaced throughout the day, 1pm, 5:00 pm. I was full since breakfast and not hungry at all when consuming the subsequent meals. I have triple checked all the portions and it seems like alot of food.
Is it ok for me to eat fewer than the recommended 5 meals on days when I am not hungry?
Hey Kelly- it may take a few days to a week for your body to adjust, but after you get a few days of hard, intense workouts in you might find that you aren’t able to eat enough because your body needs the fuel. Just do your best, and I’m pretty sure you may start feeling hungrier pretty soon 😉
I think it was 12 grams which I feel is high for almond milk
I would definitely recommend swapping out for unsweetened almond milk for best results with this challenge.
I am having difficulty uploading my pics through my phone. I press submit, then it says the website is down. Any suggestions?
Can you please email this question to [email protected] and they can help you there with technical issues? Thank you! 🙂
Quick question, it says in meal plan two to eat 1serving of the egg white muffins, does 1serving mean two muffins? Thank you!
Yep, that is correct 🙂
I can not for the life of me do the split squats well. Specifically when squatting on my right leg. My hip tends to push out to the side. I don’t know what I need to do to correct this. Any ideas?
Try to not go too deep into the split squat right now and focus on tucking your tail under, keeping your hips tuned under you. This will prevent them from pushing out to the side. I hope this helps, good luck!
Thank you for the information, I do have one more. I was always told doing standing side crunches with weights builds the outer obliques out not in…wouldn’t a side laying crunch focus on decreasing the outer oblique instead of increasing it? thank you for your help Sandi
Either way – standing with weights or lying without weights – will help build and strengthen your oblique muscles. All strength/resistance exercises help to build muscles, so I’m not sure what you mean by building outer obliques out, or decreasing the outer obliques instead of increasing the obliques. I have never heard that before, but you can do the side crunches either way that you prefer, you are still working the same muscle 😉
I am 5’11 and weigh 173. With the meal plan recommended for my height/weight it has a total of 160g protein. I read somewhere else in this challenge where it is recommended to have 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per body weight. Should i follow the meal plan for my height/weight or go up on my proteins to 173-259.5? Thank you!
Hey there- I would recommend following the meal plan for your height. Good luck! 🙂
Im also thinking this,and i would love to hear from professional, example Naomi’s opinion. 🙂
As like today i went to gym at 5pm and i just ate the meal 5 and then later in the evening i will eat that so called supper just before bed time.
Im used to do that the otherway, after gym meal 4 and then before bedtime meal 5.
Your plan sounds great! Good luck with the challenge 😉
I know I am jumping ahead but phase 2 has only 1/2 a banana a day listed on the sample menu #3. But the shopping list for phase 2 has me buy 2 pieces a fruit a day and the exchange paper says up to 2 fruits a day?
Hey there- I’m not sure what your question is. On your meal plan for phase two, you’ll eat 1/2 a banana per day. The shopping list and exchange list is applicable to all meal plans, which is why it says “up to” but you will follow the serving size listed on your meal plan. Does that make sense?
Can one of the previous 30 min HIIT be substituted for these? Or better to stick with what’s written? Love the elliptical. Love the treadmill but pushing the buttons up and down every minute and trying to count all the rounds is exhausting.
Yep! You can use any HIIT workout you prefer, from previous challenges or otherwise. Good luck! 🙂
Can you add frozen fruit instead of fresh fruit to your shake? If so, what is the measurement conversion for fresh fruit vs frozen fruit?
Hey there- yes, you can use frozen instead of fresh. The measurement should be abut the same. The water content in frozen would be the same as in fresh, it’s just frozen. Make sure you look at the ingredients of the frozen fruit to be sure there is no added sugars. The ingredients should be the fruit only 😉
