Wilmington Boot Camp 6 Week Challenge Q and A

Ok we are one week into the 6 Week Challenge. Have you been keeping your goal at the forefront of your mind? Are you sticking to your nutrition strategy. If not, just refocus and take this second week by storm! Below are a couple of questions that I have gotten about the program. I hope they help you too. If you have other questions just post them in the comments section and I will answer them right here on the blog.

Q1. What are the best shakes to use that are all natural and won’t cause digestive problems? If you are trying to save time the ready to drink versions of Muscle Milk Lite or Myoplex Advantage are good. You can also get a container of Whey protein and mix your own. I like Pure Protein, they also have good bars.

Q2. If you have a sweet tooth what are the sweet treats you can splurge on and not totally mess up? Even though they have artificial sweeteners (Splenda) there are some good sugar free puddings and jello options these days. You can also mix berries and a little bit of Splenda or other sweetener into plain Greek Yogurt. It makes a nice treat. Another option is to include a reasonable sized dessert of choice as a part of a cheat meal on the weekend. If you have sweet tooths often, the supplement L-Glutamine has been shown to decrease the urge.

Q3. Why on the meal plans do you say eat egg beaters instead of real eggs? You can eat either, egg beaters or similar products just contain all protein. There is a pure egg white product that is actually even better than egg beaters because it doesn’t have any additives.

Q4. A couple of questions regarding the Shock and Awe plan.  Can you drink wine at all? I don’t recommend it but if you are going to have a glass just have it as a part of your post exercise meal and substitute it for your starch at that meal. (this is not optimal though)

Q5. For the foods that are labeling “only after exercise” how long after you exercise are you allow to eat them? Does it have to be immediately following or can you eat one of them at lunch/dinner if you worked out in the AM? It is best to include your starches in the first meal after you exercise but you can leave it for lunch or dinner if you prefer.

Q6. Do you carry/recommend supplements as a part of your fitness programs? I haven’t carried supplements up to this point but due to the number of questions I have decided to find some good, quality supplement lines. The first one is from Prograde Nutrition, be sure to download the report about “What to Never Eat After Exercise!” Very good report! Click here for details Prograde Nutritional Supplements
