I just started my very first challenge today - yay! - and while I'm pretty comfortable with the workouts, I know that nutrition is what will let me really see the results I want. I'm trying to balance making tasty meals for my fella at home, but also staying on target during my six non-free days...

Hey all, I've been kind of quiet but I am still here pressing on! The business of dealing with being laid off is very stressful but I am determined to get through this. I am still struggling with eating enough. Getting breakfast in a timely fashion has become increasingly difficult. I am trying...

As we all know there are a multitude of Myoplex ready to drink shakes available. What constitutes a portion? Should I be drinking the "Original" formula and size at 42 (g) of protein and approx. 300 calories or the plastic bottle size with 20-25 (g) of protein and fewer calories? I think...

Hey BFL crew, I have one simple question- Does anyone know whether any shops in Australia actually sell Myoplex Lite? I want to buy some but I have a feeling i'll just have to order it over the internet. Most products you find are from the US, there are some online that actually come from Australia...

i have officially started the BFL challenge today! i purchased nutrition powder from a local sports store but im not sure whether i should mix it with water or non fat milk? it says you can mix it with either but my main concern is, if i mix it with water as opposed to milk im not sure whether it counts...

I started BFL on Oct 5th, and last week, I continued my low Carb Diet, adding in Brown Rice a couple time daily for my Carb. Yesterday, I tried my first day of the BFL Nutrition diet, and I am concerned about how hungry I am now. Yesterday, I added whole wheat toast to breakfast, a white potato...

Just got this question emailed and thought I'd share the answer since I think others might benefit. Q: For convenience purposes, is it ok to use pumpkin puree in place of the mashed sweet potato in the yamcakes recipe, which is used in the meal plan above?? A: I don't think that's a...

I've decided to give this a shot, as I am already working in a gym 5+ times a week, and needed to do something to get results. I started with dcardio this am on eliptical, and am so psyched that i accomplished 20 min of intensity interval training! That's the longest I've ever done on eliptical...

Hi, I'm just starting out BFL and have found this forum to be extremely helpful. Thanks to all those out there who are contributing your wealth of knowledge! I have two questions.

I just started this week and I am loving it. My struggle right now is to make sure I have a good choice for my meals when I am out and about. I was looking at the EAS products, but I cannot figure out what to get. Any advice? What I need is something that I can just grab and eat while driving or in between...

Hi, I am on day 3 and have done the BFL before (about 6 years ago) Got great results...lost 75pounds and kept it off UNTIL I had my son. I gain back 50 of those pounds and am starting again. My question is I know you don't need to count calories but it just a habit. I am worried I am not getting...

I'm addicted to Perrier and S.Pellegrino sparkling natural water. Are the benefits equivalent to simple water and can this count as my daily water intake?

Hello All, I am rediscovering BFL after using it to lose considerable weight about 10 years ago. I have just started working out and eating clean but I have a question - I lift weights early in the morning, about 8 am. Should I eat breakfast before I leave the house? I walk to the gym and...

In the book "body for life" Bill promotes his own product myoplex and says it's all you need in a meal in just the right proportions. So I got interested and looked for it and found that the traditional recipe has per serving: 42 grams of protein ( = 168 calories) 22 grams of carbs...

Hey forum, I just started my first challenge this week after I promised my wife I'd lose 15 lbs. I'm starting at 6'0, 210 lbs, 25% body fat and I want to get to get to about 10-15% body fat by the end of the program. I noticed that I am pretty consistently hungry even after I finish eating...

I have a few clarification questions if you y'all can help me please??? - Mushrooms are considered a veggie right? What about tomatoes? - Is there a limit to veggie intake in a day/meal? - Sometimes there is someone on the machine that I need -- is there a right or wrong order to muscle...

Hi Everyone, I am on day six. I eat six meals a day, two are protein drinks, and 4 are by the book (fist size of complex carbs and palm size of protein and a green veg all from the list in the BFL book). It just feels like too much eating. I can't believe I am writing this as I am severely overweight...
