Hi! Does anyone know if JUICE PLUS (all natural blend of non-dairy dried fruits and veggie powder) can be used in place of a protein shake? It is recommend to be used as meal replacement and/or post-workout recovery shake.......I have a whole (expensive) container left and wanted to make a smoothie for...

Hi Guys, I found this website thought it might be useful to some. It has really helped me figure the amount of carbs and protein in whole foods with no labels like strawberries. http://nutritiondata.self.com/

So I am noticing a few places where the carb/protein ratio doesn't seem balanced, particularly on Tuesday of the suggested first week of meals: ( Dinner:Turkey Burger 1 portion steamed broccoli Glass of water) Broccoli has so little carbs. Should it be paired with a more substantial carb...

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 am just starting BFL today, and I am already the Recipe Matcher website (http://www.recipematcher.com/index.php/home/) program that looks at the food you have in your kitchen and helps you search for recipes that use what you have. It would REALLY help me if folks could post some of their favorite...

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...

Okay...I'm having quite a difficult start my first week on BFL. I have been keeping up with my 6 meals per day but I feel really hungry and headachy going into my next meal. What's wrong I have been eating what's on the food list but I am still confused on what I can eat. Is it ONLY the foods...

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. First, I'm trying to do my workouts at home and for the most part I have the necessary equipment except for the Quad...

So i have been doing the program for 4 weeks now, reallly seeing results as well. Which is great, but there is something I don't quite understand. The Cheat Day (which I usually take on Sundays) does that mean NO exercising as well as NO dieting. Or can I seperate the diet and the training. In other...

Howdy BFL'ers! I wanted to make sure I came here to share something I think can really help a lot of people who are either just embarking on a new challenge, or who still aren't sure if they're planning meals correctly. Since winning BFL over 2 years ago, I've had a lot of amazing...

Hey guys, I was wondering whether its true when they say not to eat within 1 hour of working out. Im fairly sure that Bill Phillips had touched on it breifly in the BFL book but now i cant find it again. If it is true does this apply to both cardio AND weight training? Your advice would be greatly...

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...

I am in a 12 step program (1.5 years sober!) and my sponsor gave me the Body for Life book to read a few months ago as I told him I was serious about getting into tip top shape. I finally got around to seriously reading it in the past week, and have formally started the Body for Life 12 week challenge...

Hey everyone!! I'm on day 3 of this new adventure, and I was hoping someone could take a look at my diet so far... I haven't got my book yet, so all I have to go on is the website. 7am: Protein smoothie (1cup skim milk, vanilla protein powder, 1/2 banana) 10am: 1 slice whole wheat bread...

Hey Team, Greetings from JagPaw Day 4 of 84 WAS A GREAT DAY! Just wanted to share a few “realizations” I had today that might help some of you and to THANK those whom perhaps unknowingly provided golden advice in your posts. Today Day 4 I had the best workout I have had in YEARS...

Hi all, I am new here and would love to get some insights re: how others have done/are doing to prepare for their 12-week programme. I was about to jump into it (I am well versed in weight training and cardio, just not doing that enough), when I realized the toughest part might be meal planning...

So I started BFL last week 2/6/12 and lost about 4 lbs. I started off eating 6 meals a day, but I find it difficult to eat 6 meals everyday. What do you guys think about eating 5 meals a day instead of 6? I have more energy than I have when eating three big meals a day, but I still feel a bit bloated...

I am struggling with my nutrition. I hear so many different things and I'm not sure what is correct. Some say with this program don't worry about your caloric intake some much, just eat as clean as possible. But if you eat more than you burn then you'll gain weight right? I also hear if you...

I survived the 4th of July! I think this would be the first time in history though. Usually at these events, they don't have much I can eat anyway other than fries and drink, but oh the boy did the drink almost had me. The German beer folks, the German beer. But I came armed with my cooler full of...
