Congratulations on making it to Phase III and we are glad that you are feeling great. If you still feel like you are still not defined enough, I would suggest that you try the Lean version of the program. The Lean version will keep you at your size, but it focuses more on getting you toned and ripped then building muscle mass. I feel it’s the perfect program for you right now to get you defined the way you want to be. Keep us updated on your progress.

You can have any kind of recovery bar, or drink that you would like as long as you are taking something to help rebuild those muscles. Keep on “Bringing It”!

Your question is similar to Betos above. You’re going to want to get up, have a protein bar, workout, recovery drink and breakfast. That is the ideal sequence for getting optimum results. Good luck with your workouts!

-Russell

The best time to eat is after your workouts. You need to refuel your body after you expend all that energy in your workouts. If you are feeling to weak to do your workouts before you eat, try a performance bar before you work out. That should provide you with the energy you’re looking for to get you through the workouts. So enjoy your workouts! Keep us posted on your success!

We don’t want you to think that you are doing something wrong. Keep in mind that every ones body reacts differently to different exercises. What you may want to do is revisit the fat shredder phase, Phase I, and go through that phase again. Don’t be afraid to stay in a certain phase if you feel like you still need work in that area. The protein drinks and bars are fine, as long as take them when necessary. Also make sure you are doing these workouts to the best of your ability. You don’t want to slack in these workouts, that way you will get the maximum results from your workouts. Keep on “Bringing It”!

As long as stay within your portion guides, you can eat whatever you like. The menus and recipes are just suggestions and you don’t have to follow then at all, but you should stay within your portion counts. The list of acceptable foods should have foods on there that you like and can make. The main goal of this program is to get you to be creative and to make your own meals. You will eventually finish the program and we don’t expect you to look in the nutrition guide for your meals for the rest of your life. So be creative and have fun with your meals. Experiment and substitute whatever you like, as long as you are following your portions guide for each meal. Don’t forget to “Bring It”!

The first thing we want you to understand is that you are only going to get out of this program what you put in. You may have to sacrifice some of your usual wants and desires, but in the end you will thank yourself for it. So on to the questions:

1) You will be able to shed the weight that you gained from having a baby. Just make sure you are following the nutrition guide as closely as possible.

2) Now, the only foods I would recommend are the foods that are approved in the nutrition guide. It has been scientifically made to work for your body if you follow the nutrition guide.

3) If you follow the program exactly, you should start seeing results in the first couple of weeks. It’s not an overnight program, but you will see results very quickly.

4) You will only need an area about as long and wide as you can lay on the floor and do a complete circle. You’re not going to be running around the room, you just need to be able stretch out and take a couple steps every now and then.

Hopefully, that answered all your questions and we look forward to hearing back from you with your results. Bring it!

-Nate

The program that you are going to want to start with is the classic program. That way you will be able to bulk up and start getting the muscles you desire. Also, you are going to start on Phase II and not Phase I like normal. Start on Phase II and skip the fat shredder phase. With that said, just follow the nutrition guide and you should start seeing the results soon.

-Russell

Congratulations on making it through phase I of the program. The great thing about this program is that you can adjust it to fit your needs. So by all means, revisit phase I and continue in it until you get the results you desire. Keep in mind that you will also lose weight and tone up your body in the other phases as well. Another goal of this program is to get you into the best physical shape of your life, so if Phase I is working for you, enjoy it for a while longer until you get the results you desire. Also, the shake is OK to, especially since you have blood sugar issues. Enjoy your workouts!

-Nate

You’re going to want to stay away from the Sushi and Bread as much as possible. Of course you can deviate if you’d like, but remember there are consequences to breaking the rules. You’ll have to workout longer and harder to knock the bread and sushi off. I would encourage you to fight off your wants and desires for the course of this program and I’m positive that you will obtain the results that you desire. Enjoy your workouts!

1) Sushi
2) Bread – The fat shredder phases advises to avoid bread. Does that include healthy alternatives at whole food such as Whole wheat or 9 grain bread?/
