Here are a few questions I have received:


1.  How do I get the 7 day challenge?  Where do I access it?  Is it free?
You can access the 7 day challenge by pressing the ‘download’ button HERE.  There is one for men and one for women, so just click the one you want as the meal plans are different per gender.  It will download a bunch of pages to your desktop explaining how this diet works, a grocery list, the recipes, recommendations, and exercises to do during your first 7 days.  It will also e-mail you videos with tips and motivational stories.  It is free.  You don’t have to give them any credit card info or anything like that!  There are no strings attached.  They do have a 12 week book you can buy if you would like to take it to that level which my mom bought and the recipes are wonderful!  I just did my diet a total of three weeks and I never got sick of the food from week 1 so I just repeated it for another two weeks!  The food is yummy and filling!


2.  What protein powder is good and where do I buy it?
I have really only ever tried one kind of protein powder.  I buy it from Costco.  It’s from Muscle Milk and it’s 100% whey protein.  It comes in a huge bag and the scooper in it is fairly big.  It has 27g of protein per serving so I like to just use a half a scoop when I make my protein shake (strawberry ice cream is what they call it).  The protein comes in vanilla or chocolate.  I prefer chocolate, of course!
You should immediately notice a difference in your body just from the increased protein.  I love this diet so much because you get the majority of your protein from food alone.  I feel that this is a very safe diet as long as you follow it as laid out for you.  Remember, too much protein is not good for you as it can damage your kidneys.


3.  Did you change up the order of any of the meals?
One of the pages that you download specifically says not to change up the order of your meals except if you need to, you can switch up the first two meals ONLY.  The first two meals of the day are a protein shake (strawberry ice cream), and your egg wrap.  Sometimes it’s easier to make my shake for my first meal, other times it’s easier for me to have my eggs first.  So however works best for you.  But all the other meals you make, keep them in the order they say!  And make sure you are eating on schedule too, which is every 2-3 hours!


4.  Do you recommend buying specific brands for some of the ingredients?
Yes!!  Here are some of the ingredients I’ve found I really love!  (I hope there’s a Costco near you!)


Whole Wheat Wraps:  Costco.  “Smart and Delicious Tortillas by La Tortilla Factory”.  They are low carb, high fiber, taste good and you get 20 in a bag which will last you 20 days!
Salsa:  Costco.  “Jack’s Special” in the refrigerated bottle.  At first I was using just a generic salsa but I found I started to stink everyday because of it!!  With this salsa, you’d never know I ate so much of it every day, plus it’s soooo good!  Voted America’s #1 salsa!
Oranges:  Costco.  They come in a big box and believe me, you will use all of them quicker than you think!
Frozen Strawberries:  Costco.  Definitely best bang for your buck! 
Cottage Cheese:  Costco.  You will go through a lot more of this than you think, so go with the big carton!

5.  Did you do the exercises exactly how they say every day?
This is the one place I didn’t follow to a T.  I am a regular exerciser, thus I knew that as long as I kept exercising I would still be okay.  I think it tells you to do 20 min. cardio and it also gives you some cross training exercises to do.  I would still run but I only did the cross training every other day or every few days.  When I did do them, I loved them!  They really targeted the areas that I don’t usually work out a whole lot.  Just make sure that you are exercising every day, especially if you don’t normally exercise!  …I’m guessing!  Again, I’m not claiming to be an expert!


6.  Did you ever get hungry?
Heck no!  In fact, I was a lot fuller than I normally am and it was even harder for me to finish some of my meals!  There were days where I didn’t even eat the last meal because I was so full!


7.  Can I drink anything else besides water?
Here’s the good news!  I read somewhere while doing this that it’s still okay to drink your Diet Coke!  No joke!  My mom loves DC and she still gets to drink some.  As long as you’ve drank the recommended amount of water that day, you can still drink soda…although try to avoid it as much as possible!  But ***Drink lots of water*** it will flush you out and you will feel awesome!

8.  Is it hard to eat the same thing everyday?
No.  I love the meals.  Honestly, soooo good.  As soon as I get home from the grocery store, I prep all my foods.  I put my chicken in the crockpot, drain all my canned veggies, chop raw veggies, cook my rice, etc.  Then I separate them into bags so that all I have to do before my meal is grab the stuff and it’s already half done!  And that’s for the week!  Here’s a GREAT video to demonstrate:  Click HERE.
