I'm here. I did Body for Life as a meat eater about five years ago. I would also be interested in suggestions from those who have completed a challenge as a...
First of all, I'd like to welcome the new folks. As you can see there hasn't been a lot of action here for a while. Its nice to have some renewed interest. ...
Hello, I am new here too! So far during the 5 wks I've been on the challenge I've just been eating frozen boca burgers and veggie dogs, it'd be nice to hear...
Hi Emily, We have had several vegans look into this group over the past few years. I'd like to suggest that you look through the Vegan folder on our Links page...
Actually, I read through most of the folders before posting but missed the recipes you mentioned in a previous post. Some links were dead but most were active....
i understand the frustration of every protein coming with a carb when you're veg- it makes it pretty hard to measure ratios. consequently, i eat very little...
i guess so. i've never read bfl but i'm following the principles of high intensity weight training (max-ot programme), HIIT, diet and supplementation. been...
I've just started my second week. I'm enjoying the exercise, but I think the bloody nutritional stuff will do my head in!!! I think this programme depends on...
don't forget though, diet is 85% of your success. once you adapt your diet and replace all the not-so-healthy things with more high-fibre, high protein,...
Hi It's great to hear from someone else in the UK - Do you have any more suggestions for vegie meals that I can find in Tesco or Sainsburys ? Anne-Marie ... ...
I have just read all about the program and ready to start but don't a clue how to adapt my diet. I do eat dairy, eggs and fish but I try to limit it once a...
looking for email buddies - starting body for life challenge with emphasis on reaching top most physical health. If interested send response email to...
Emily, Did you get anywhere with your question about the protein/carb ratio. Getting protein and carbs together, from what I've read, is a good thing....
I'm all for having e-mail buddies, but for this, I'd rather use the group tools. I don't think any one person could possibly give me all the help I need. I may...
I found some answers, not about ratios, but at least about protein intake. For doing a weight training program, you should shoot for about 0.9 times your lean...
Wow, Michael! What a wonderful resource. Thanks for sharing it with the group. Hope you do add it to our "files" page. It's not hard. One caveat I'd like to...
Hi there I did BFL in 2001 when I was a meat-eater and was amazed by the results. I have now moved to Dubai and spent the past 8 months getting to know the...
Hi, Welcome to the group. There are lots of resources in our "Links" section, including one thats called something like "101 recipies". They ask for a small...
Hi everyone. I'm just about to finish my second challenge. I've always found the nutrition side of BFL difficult as a vegetarian!! I've started eating fish...
Nice to see a flurry of activity in the group. The best source of protein for me is soya chunks/ nutrisoy available in all Indian Grocery stores. They're...
I'm not actually doing the BFL program, yet. I have a tendancy to do a lot of planning, sometimes to the point that I never actually DO what it is I'm...
Well planning is great! Plan your meals and plan your workout routines, then get stuck into it. I've been very slack over the planning for the last year. When...
I make my own seitan.... http://vegetarian.about.com/od/cookingtipstools/ss/HowToSeitan.htm In His grip, Maria www.youravon.com/mjuarez2959 ... From: niqster ...
Hello everyone. I am planning to start BFL soon. I am doing all of my planning (meals and exercise) this weekend and will start on Monday. I am not a...
In response to your question: Nuts tend to fit into BFL just fine. I mean, you'd have to be a nut to want to work this hard, don't you think? I just couldn't...
I am trying to come up with a replacement for the Myoplex shake. I am allergic to dairy so I couldn't have these even if I wanted to since they are whey...
I'm no expert but that sounds good to me. Hemp protein is a complete protein and more alkaline than whey and is raw so it's not denatured like most whey and...
I don't use myoplex either. I think the soy protein will be ok...what is the carb ratio to protein? I normally use whey protein because it's a lot cheaper than...
Thanks for the thoughts on the shakes. Does anyone have any meal plans they would like to share? Maybe a sample day or two. Any without dairy would be even...
