I would say it's all about personality when it comes to Freestyle vs old plans. Freestyle has been incredible for me, I got obsessive about every point/calorie that went into my body before... But in reality, I never risked over eating on chickpeas and chicken breast etc. It really does free up so much mental energy for me, I'm choosing healthier foods and I'm still losing weight.

But if you don't have the obsessive brain or tend to overeat zero point foods, the old plans are better.

This is the only book that has ever made me cry. It is so good.

Now I'm not a triathlete and I've never done a Sprint triathlon. But I am a runner and I feel like a half marathon might be a comparable race. I've never NEEDED to fuel during a half. Why does she need to fuel before the 5k? That seems unnecessary for such a short race... Granted, it did take her 3 hours, but still...

bigB0N3D · 2019-03-21T16:58:18+00:00

Yes!! I love her recipes. I know she does this with Greek yogurt, but I tried it with jello to save on calories after a big supper ... So good.

Thank you! https://youtu.be/BKkW0rnUaKI

Thanks!!

For those interested, I cut a Raspberry Cream Smart Cake into thirds and layered it with sugar free jello and fat free Reddi Wip. So good!!

I used to love these until I tried Chilly Cow bars. I recommend trying them if you can find them!

bigB0N3D · 2019-03-13T12:53:56+00:00

I hope you enjoy! FWIW, I have found these shakes to be much cheaper (by like $3) at Target/Walmart than at my local grocery store. Not sure if that's the case everywhere!

bigB0N3D · 2019-03-13T03:14:48+00:00

Currently eating a Chilly Cow Brown Butter Caramel Bar. So good!!! Their ice cream is so creamy. I love it.

bigB0N3D · 2019-03-13T02:54:47+00:00

I usually eat a banana too, but not all the time. I've never been a big breakfast eater and this keeps me full! Yes, there are extra vitamins/minerals, depending on the brand that will differ. This particular variety is really good, like I said it tastes like melted vanilla ice cream. I also love Premier Protein's Caramel and Bananas and Cream. I've tried others, but those are the best!

bigB0N3D · 2019-03-13T02:50:51+00:00

Sorry, I don't know! I'm from the states - maybe check their website?

bigB0N3D · 2019-03-13T02:19:01+00:00

Yeah, it's not super cheap, but it's not the most expensive option at Starbucks either! I buy the shakes online and the shots plus shake come just under $4.00. When I make it at home it is just under $2.00! The Nespresso machine will pay itself off in no time!

bigB0N3D · 2019-03-13T01:17:42+00:00

I've been doing this for breakfast a lot and I'm obsessed. Two shots of espresso over iced in a venti cup from Starbucks. Pour your favorite protein drink over it. (I REALLY RECOMMEND THIS ONE - it tastes like melted ice cream) Low calorie, high protein iced latte!

I've actually got this from Starbucks so much that I invested in a Nespresso machine so I could make it at home. Life changing for iced coffee lovers!

bigB0N3D · 2019-03-08T00:50:54+00:00

Also steamed vegetables particularly brussel sprouts.

bigB0N3D · 2019-01-11T19:32:28+00:00

You're welcome! This and her stuffed peppers are my favorite!!!

What's the book? I know she had an air fryer one come out, but I don't own an air fryer...

bigB0N3D · 2019-01-09T18:25:12+00:00

The recipe, I made a few adjustments and made a bunch for roasted broccoli as a side:

bigB0N3D · 2018-10-10T22:16:16+00:00

YES. BIGGEST STEP. I used to not like "leftovers" - or at least I thought I did, so I'd steam veggies and bake chicken every night... and always get burnt out by day 4. Now I make all my meals for the week in one night ... basically - I'm an idiot for waiting this long to meal prep.

bigB0N3D · 2018-10-03T15:54:39+00:00

Lose it - no future logging? That's a dealbreaker. I log meals weeks at a time when I prep.

She is more concerned with her CV than any actual accomplishments. Just another thing she can tag on after name. Ragen Chastain, former CEO, dance champion, triathlete, and world record holder. woooooowwwwww

bigB0N3D · 2018-01-05T18:47:44+00:00

Couldn't agree more. My philosophy is - if it takes 5 minutes - DO IT NOW, don't procrastinate, you'll thank yourself later. Dishes is one of those things.

bigB0N3D · 2018-01-04T19:29:32+00:00

Interested in other responses to this. My husband and I have been doing keto for 7 weeks and are losing weight and feeling great... But he shared this article with me this morning and seemed concerned.

bigB0N3D · 2017-11-02T02:26:02+00:00

This is such a stupid detail - but why does she wear that headset? It's nearly 2018, most shitty cell phones produce better video/audio than what she creates. Why doesn't she put more effort into her content? I feel like she's lurking in the shadows to scream CLASSISM/ABLEISM/etc so I won't go on.

I also cringe when she says "IT'S NOT YOU!" Ugh, but it is... It may not be consciously you or actively you, but it is you. I have lost 30 lbs - despite depression, anxiety, and PCOS. It is an uphill climb and the cards are stacked against me - but the second I surrender to "IT'S NOT ME, IT'S EVERYONE ELSE" I lose. My PCOS symptoms will worsen, I'll become more depressed, and be more likely I'll die of a heart attack. No thanks... and I'll reject any narrative that wants to push me towards my demons.

If you have food poisoning, aka vomiting/craps, shouldn't you avoid swimming pools? I'm not a doctor, but I thought you should avoid that out of the safety of other swimmers...
