| Try using a powder protein mix. EAS has some good flavored whey protein blends that are cheaper than the ready to drink shakes but still high quality and safe! You can typically find them at walmart, target, etc. |

| Watch the news, all those companies that sell weightloss drugs/fat burners have to pay up for false advertsing.... which most likely means, they don't work. Give your body a chance to do it's thing... you'll be surprised how much fat you can burn once you build muscle and trigger your metabolism w/ the high intensity interval training (HIIT) found in BFL. |

| Just remember that if you're looking for the 12 week transformation that you really should stick with the weight lifting routines that are outlined in the program. The point to keeping the cardio and weight lifting seperate is so you can max yourself out on each of those seperately and allow for recovery time. There is scientific research that goes into what Bill recommends so you can get the desired results, they're not just randomly chosen workouts. Although getting up and doing something ... |

Re: weights then eating?

| You're correct about the time frame if you wait that long between eating, lifting and then eating again. I always do my weight lifting in the afternoon after work and only wait an hour after my last "meal" and then wait an hour or so after my workout until the next meal. Is this by the book? I don't know. Has it worked for me? YES!! And that's the key. Find what works for you and how you can fit it into your schedule. Don't set yourself up for failure... set yourself up to succeed. |

| Hi Maggie,
There's no limit to how far up you can go in weights (of course that's my personal opinion). It's somewhat of a myth that women bulk up from lifting weights. Remember that muscle is so much leaner than fat so gaining muscle not only burns fat but takes up less room on your body. I increase my weight when I find that I'm not hitting a 10. If you're not quite ready to increase your max weight you should still try to keep your muscles guessing and working harder w/ each work out. ... |

| I would suggest going to the sporting goods store and sampling the weight selection. Everyone is different so it's hard to say where to start. You'll be able to lift more with your lower body so you'll need some higher weights for that (most likely 15lbs and up) and lower weights for your upper body. It's all so dependant on the individual because everyone starts the program at different levels. Spend some time at the store playing with the dumbbells. Perhaps getting dumb bells that you ... |

| I can't answer technical questions. But there is a science behind the pyramid lifting that BFL uses. Check out hussmanfitness.com . It explains a lot of the BFL theories and why BFL works so well and efficiently.
As for the champions, I've meant several of them (including Porter Freeman and 2005 Champ Aaroon) and I can guarentee each of them would be offended at the insinuation that steriods were used to achieve their physique. |

| Unfortunately you're probably right about everyone not being clean. But I believe those who reach extreme goals with BFL also have the Champion mindset. After talking to some of them, the are off the wall crazy, intense...especially in the last couple weeks of the competition.
And yes, many of them go beyond the 12 weeks before taking that after picture. Usually closer to 14 weeks. My last challenge I did the same thing. I stuck to the program word for word, bite for bite then week 13 ... |

| STOP!!! Put down that dumbell!! lol
There is definitely a misunderstanding somewhere. I'm not sure where that information comes from but if you read the book it's pretty clear on the lifting pattern. Also check out Bodyforlife.com, lots of info there also. To help clarify here's a basic work out for one muscle group.
The pattern (known as pyramid lifting w/ 2 compound sets) goes something like this (we’ll use lower body as an example):
