Hi again May

Yes, I use supplements - I use protein powder to get my protein up there - otherwise I'd be eating way too much for me to handle. I use Designer Whey (very low in carbs) with some berries and milk for one of my breakfasts and I use a premade shake of whey protein from weider for a lunch - both pack about 35g of protein with little carbs. I take supplements, but those I was taking before BFL with the exception of Glutamine - which I highly recommend. I take E, C, Cal/Mag, CoQ10 and a multi vitamine every day. I also throw some flaxseed oil into my morning shake for EFA's (essential fatty acids)

I use the free day differenlty than was intended - for me it is a LC day where I do not have to schedule in 6 meals - which can be tedious and takes planning. It's nice to be able to just eat when I am hungry and to not have to worry about getting in enough protein!

I do not restrict my fat or measure my portions as per BFL - I use PP guidelines for my meal sizes. I try to keep all meals to 400 calories and 20 - 30g of protein. I tried lowering fat and found it left me hungry and miserable so now I keep it around 100g. My percentages workout to something resembling 40% protein, 50% fat and 10% carbs (carbs are around 60g a day now).

As for results, I love them! I havent done any measuring since week 8 but at that time I had lost 15 lbs of fat and gained 6 lbs of muscle with a 6% drop in body fat. I have noticed changes in my body that I've never seen before with just diet change - slimmer thighs, more well defined shoulders, calves to die for and I can actually see the muscles developing in my back. This program has made a huge difference for me. I will be doing a second challenge when I return from Cuba at the end of January.

Hope this answers your questions.
