Carb Cycling FAQ 2 | For the cornflake chicken do you measure your corn flakes straight from the box or after they are crunched up? | https://youtube.com/shorts/N32X2n1TKiI |

Carb Cycling FAQ 4 | When you are making the Verde chicken, what size bottle of salsa are you using? | https://youtu.be/wjzYSOTiUko |
Carb Cycling FAQ 5 | I understand the value of meal prepping in bulk, but I absolutely DESPISE leftovers or repurposing meat for another meal. I keep trying each week to change my attitude about it, but I just can't. I keep thinking of the saying - the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Do you have any tips for working on the mental aspect of this? I am wasting so much money and time and food each week. | https://youtu.be/Tu-CUKqitOA |
Carb Cycling FAQ 6 | After the 3 days of consecutive morning sunlight, do you continue daily? If so, would you continue in the winter (MN)? Would any changes be necessary? What if it is raining outside, do you still go out in the early morning? | https://youtu.be/vW40XBXquPE |
Carb Cycling FAQ 7 | Can you offer a motivation moment? We are nearing the end, amping up training, and I feel great about my overall learning & progress…but I am tired and sore! | https://youtube.com/shorts/R2k0HNVzh9A |
Carb Cycling FAQ 8 | Last night I was asking questions about maintenance mode. Then it occurred to me, how can I reach my "destination" when I have no idea what my "goal weight" should be?? Apparently I've been on a multi-week journey to get somewhere . . . . but where? LOL!!! So, my question is - other than "feeling good" how do you know what the body composition/weight should be?? I have all kinds of information on healthy body fat% for women at my age (59) but those are generalizations. The explanation you gave about Rachel and her lean mass/bone structure, helped A LOT. I did get my Dexascan - bone density was good and the image makes it clear than my excess fat is around hips/thighs. I have been hyperfit before - I was 118lbs @18% body fat (I'm 5'4") and I felt great, but I was a bit skinny (see my ribs kind of stuff). I mentioned last night that my body then regulated at +5lbs (122) and I stayed right there for several years. Curious though if 122 is right, or 118, or 125? I started this journey at 143. I am now 136. I was striving to get to 123 - but, that's just a number. Instead, should I be looking for whatever number leaves me with 20-22% body fat?? Looking at the scan, it would seem the numbers should help me estimate a healthy, lean number and composition I should aim to hit?? I'm just not sure where to start. Your opinion highly valued and guidance deeply appreciated! | https://youtu.be/MU9c8DcaXVY |
Carb Cycling FAQ 9 | I have seen "influencers" and others working out or lifting barefooted. Is there some benefit to this? For me, it seems like an accident waiting to happen. | https://youtu.be/F8soHtdCqaY |
Carb Cycling FAQ 10 | BHRT has been a lifesaver for me in post menopause. Chris mentioned using it as well. I have some questions regarding male HRT because I am wondering if it will give my honey some relief and would appreciate Chris’s personal experience and opinions. 1) what symptoms does it relieve? 2) is it just testosterone or is it other hormones as well? 3) how is it administered (pills, injection, patch)? 4) does insurance cover any of it? | https://youtu.be/1NiVdcKZCLU |
Carb Cycling FAQ 11 | how much of a calorie deficit is too much? I mean if I am supposed to be at 2300 calories on high carb day and only consume 1500 will that affect weight loss and is that not enough calories? | https://youtu.be/Fp1TDdfT0aY |
Carb Cycling FAQ 12 | I purchased a 6 month subscription with the Kept app. I also signed up for the next session, The Colective. Is the Kept app included in The Collective fee? | https://youtu.be/U4ISQT2Jpl0 |
Carb Cycling FAQ 13 | Knowing that you are a taste guru, I remember hearing somewhere (may have been WW) about the "3 Bite Rule". I think the deal was that you get the full flavor of any food after 3 bites, so that would be a way to deal with buffets - 3 bites, then move on. Is this a real thing or did I buy some oceanfront property in Arizona? | https://youtu.be/Qi3Uk7oxFTE |
Carb Cycling FAQ 14 | I struggle with muscle knots in my trapezium. I drink above my recommended water amount. I get monthly massages and trigger point injections. Is there certain stretch or exercise you could recommend? Any tips to prevent? | https://youtu.be/645dSTpKcbY |
Carb Cycling FAQ 15 | My all time dilemma is working out when I have a 3:30 wake up time then when I get home I'm exhausted. My job is very physical. I'm 57 and have been doing this for 25 years. I feel that my job is not a work out, more like muscle memory and I am off for 5 months in the winter and still have a hard time committing to simple 10 minute work outs. Any advice? | https://youtu.be/x_vnronP6jU |

Carb Cycling FAQ 27 | Can we talk about “time under tension” for lifting weights. I found this slow method, along with full range of motion were huge steps forward towards gaining and strengthening my muscles. Would love to hear your thoughts! | https://youtu.be/cn6sQMlHOX0 |
Carb Cycling FAQ 28 | This cycle that we’re on is absolutely working for me. On Fridays and Saturdays I find I’m going over on carbs every weekend. Can i shift my days so that Friday and Saturday are high carb days? | https://youtu.be/Y0JB819S7VE |
Carb Cycling FAQ 29 | I understand why there is a difference between macros and calories after the update, and I understand that this is not an exact science. Having said that, today I was shooting for 1400 calories. The app told me I was at about 1250 calories, but my macros were right on point (and calories calculated by hand from macros were 1391). My question is…should I go by the macros or the calories? 150 calories seems like a substantial difference (10%-ish), but Chris has said calories first and protein second….Now I’m not sure about the app calories. | https://youtu.be/WaV1J8w-srs |
Carb Cycling FAQ 30 | Is there science behind the refuel day or is it just for our sanity? For this challenge can we just have it be a low carb day, so three low carb days in a row? | https://youtu.be/6mz1X_MEESg |
Carb Cycling FAQ 31 | I’m getting used to eating more protein, and now I sometimes feel like I “run out” of protein on high carb days. Is it ok to eat some extra protein and decrease carbs or fat a bit on those days? | https://youtu.be/YwEb1v01Otc |

Carb Cycling FAQ 33 | Is collagen okay to take? Is one better than another? | https://youtu.be/itnH0FdMa_k |
Carb Cycling FAQ 34 | You have been talking about creatine and I am interested but also scared to see the scale go up. Especially in this challenge we are doing cause it is a weight-loss challenge. Also I hate that when the scale weight goes up so does your BMI and that really messes with my head. So I guess is the “risk worth the reward” so to speak with creatine? | https://youtu.be/LvP5Y4n-ekg |
Carb Cycling FAQ 35 | Can you give me some suggestions for leg exercises, my routine consists of the ABB/ADD machine, seated leg press where I have my feet regular , then do calf and then a more open sumo feet position, hip trust plate weight machine, isolated hamstring curl , isolated leg press, calf raise seated . I used to use the hack squat machine but my gym got rid of it and I tried the smith machine which I used to use back in the day like day years ago when I was lifting heavier and competing but not that load really hurts my neck. I will do just DB squats or KB squats, I have larger thighs they are muscular but obviously I have work to do on them. I do want them to be more defined. Also I used to love the plate weight lay down leg press but I heart that is not as good for your back, so I switched to the seated. I have lifted weights consistently for a decade now and I want to build muscle but also loose weight, I also want to lift smart. | https://youtu.be/61VxTmP_tEA |
Carb Cycling FAQ 36 | I like to exercise some days on the treadmill and some days I like to switch it up and take long fast pace walks at night. I sweat on the treadmill, but not when I'm walking outside at night where it's cooler. Do I burn more calories on the treadmill because I'm sweating? Which is better? | https://youtu.be/5PgUxQDiKQU |
Carb Cycling FAQ 37 | When I initially set up the KEPT app, I listed my activity as sedentary (desk job). I am now incorporating treadmill cardio minimum 30 min 6 days per week. Do I need to update my app settings to recalculate my base calories and macronutrients? | https://youtu.be/GiVijVvXEf0 |
Carb Cycling FAQ 38 | Sleep is an issue for me, I cannot turn my brain off at night. I have been taking 20mg of Melatonin every night for over 14 years and still wake up in the middle of the night sometimes. I am hopeful that the cardio will help me Sleep. I would love to stop taking it, my statin, and blood sugar medications. | https://youtu.be/0G8kgswc7v0 |
Carb Cycling FAQ 39 | I leave next Saturday for a week long trip to Disney. Should I weigh in on Saturday? Should I adjust my high/low days for this week so that Saturday will reflect a more accurate weight? I was thinking Mon-Weds high carb, Thurs-Sat low carb and Sunday reset. Thoughts? | https://youtu.be/0IozC-NBvEc |
Carb Cycling FAQ 40 | I feel full and push to get my calories in. High carb is 1540 and low is 1440. Can/should I lower my calories per day? | https://youtu.be/fyJQkTarkqc |
Carb Cycling FAQ 41 | I’m starting to feel like I could eat like this way forever. The food is good and I don’t crave my old favorites, pizza and ice cream, very often anymore. Am I really transforming? Why does the idea that I am succeeding & transforming freak me out? Feels silly to ask this as I would like to simply be happy about transforming. When I dig deeper, I find that I am afraid of succeeding, as much as or more than failing, because I failed at maintenance after losing half my body weight a decade ago and I don’t want to repeat that disappointment. I want to believe this is real and that I am really doing this again with new perspectives, wisdom, and a great coach & community…what can I do to work on overcoming that voice in my head with all the skeptical questions?? | https://youtu.be/-K4gPR40u0s |
Carb Cycling FAQ 42 | Should I be taking a pre-workout supplement to help me build muscle ? | https://youtu.be/gnHgxc8XF7Y |

Like today, I had a banana with A premiere protein shake for breakfast, I had a sandwich with two whole pieces of bread and an apple for lunch. And today I had brown rice with dinner. I am at my fat and just about at my protein , but I have like 120g of carbs to go and 500 calories. Any tips? | https://youtu.be/_ANjV0MlzYA |
Carb Cycling FAQ 46 | If the key to loosing weight is the deficit in calories in calories out and I stick to my nutrition never went over calories why did I loose more the first week than second? Is it really true women will gain/ retain at different points in our cycle? I saw your video about age and hormones and I understood what you said to mean the deficit would over ride any issues hormones or age would play.

Carb Cycling FAQ 51 | When you talk about bulking up meals with veggies are green vegetables “free” or do we need to track the calories in the veggies? | https://youtu.be/lugYzd0LiWg |
Carb Cycling FAQ 52 | You have said net carbs is what matters, my question is for the GF regular Carbonaut bread in the app it has it at 90 calories for 1 slice and when I tried to create the food and put in the macros it still calculates it to this. I am celiac and have been for 12 years and this is the BEST GF bread I have found. I don’t want to eat it at 90 calories a slice so I was wondering why the app says it’s 90 and the label says 40 should I believe the app more? Is there a more “true” calculation it is doing? | https://youtu.be/gUENrABpt1Q |
Carb Cycling FAQ 53 | Should calorie and macro calculations be different for short people? I am 5’ 0” and if I put lightly active with a goal to lose weight using the tdee calculator, it gives me 1066 calories after subtracting 500 calories for deficit.

Carb Cycling FAQ 62 | I worked with a coach in the past who said that I shouldn’t have more than two mrs’s Per day or I could slow down my weight loss. Would it be unwise to add in foods such as the fair life protein pudding, protein balls, quest chips and a whey shake all in one day? | https://youtu.be/8f-RC-cY56I |
Carb Cycling FAQ 63 | I stuck to my macros except for Sunday. I ate 400 cal less than I was supposed to (My fat numbers looking back yesterday were higher than they were when I closed out the day so I’m not sure what happened). I only lost 4.2 pounds and I had hoped for more since I’m starting out at 479.2. I will still take that as a win though as that’s 4.2 less pounds.

Carb Cycling FAQ 73 | I am religiously tracking food and drink and the Kept app won’t let me create a glass of wine no matter how I try- it always resets the calories to 13. But it keeps the carbs the same. (So you can’t just multiply the 13 with more servings because then there are like a bazillion carbs in the wine) I had a 5 ounce glass of wine and was trying to enter that for 120 cal, 3.4 carbs, and zero everything else. it always resets the calories to 13. But it keeps the carbs the same. So I had a 5 ounce glass of wine and was trying to enter that for 120 cal, 3.4 carbs, and zero everything else. No matter what I did the app would change the calories to 13 and wouldn’t let me save anything else. When I went and looked, there were a lot of glasses of wine, all for 13 cal.I didn’t know what to do because I was trying to get my calories for the day, and it wouldn’t let me put the wine and except for 13 cal which would put me off targets. I didn’t know what to do because I was trying to get my calories for the day, and it wouldn’t let me put the wine and except for 13 cal.

My question is around PCOS/insulin resistance and if low carb high protein carb cycling option be a better option than what you placed us on during the onboarding call. I notice when I eat higher amount of carbs (the good kinds like potatoes or quinoa for example)I usually gain, get more cravings and it leads me to binging. Wondering what is your take on any PCOS specific diet or cycling option. | https://youtu.be/xP0l1mn-TNQ |

Can I still be successful with weight loss while never eating the following food: *Nuts *Oats *Whole wheat/Whole grain *Yogurt (unless it's mixed in to a recipe) *Salad *Raw veggies (to be honest most vegetables, cooked or not) *Rice (maybe mixed into a recipe, but definitely not dry and by itself) I don't want to fail at this.

Carb Cycling FAQ 138 | Today I was treated poorly by a medical professional and it has gotten in my head so much/totally shaken me…. For the first time on this journey I feel 10 steps back. I was at an appointment getting some important medical news for myself and when speaking with the Doctor about testing options he seemingly went out of his way to explain to me that one test would be much better because when you are “bigger like I am” imaging can be skewed etc. because I’m such a “bigger adult.” I know I still have weight to lose and know that I am still overweight but to have someone three different times in one visit point it out in such a cold and degrading manner really hurt me. Since the start of the CC Challenge I havae lost 34 lbs. (in what, 14 weeks?). It has been so hard and has taken so much dedication. To have someone belittle me today hurt so bad I think because of all the hard work behind the losses. I feel so down tonight. And just so fat really/overweight. I know so much of this is mental. But I have not been impacted like this ever in this way. How can I refocus and not slide back (which is how I feel right now). Any thoughts on how to ignore this/get out of my own head on this subject. | https://youtu.be/ExM_U5JEr9g |
Carb Cycling FAQ 139 | Right now I'm on the Extreme cycle with a reset day on Sunday and love it! It's working and I'm losing weight. I'm going to a wedding on Saturday and want that to be my reset day for just this week. What would I do for Sunday...high carb, low carb, or balance? The following week would be back to normal (Sunday reset). Basically, how do you shift your reset day for one week only? | https://youtu.be/c0BamIF9W6c |
Carb Cycling FAQ 140 | How can I incorporate more fruits and veggies into my meals! I love both and used to eat salads daily.

Carb Cycling FAQ 142 | The other day I had enough calories/fat/etc. left in the evening to add a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup (like an actual one- not a healthier version, etc. 🤪) to my Chocolate PB Protein Ice Cream/Creami. Aannnnddd, it was delicious!! Since then I’ve worked this same Creami treat, complete with a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup mix-in, into my evening one other time. It completely fits into my macros, but still feels wrong/like a cheat….. Is this an okay thing to do? | https://youtu.be/MZt0QpJJFAo |
Carb Cycling FAQ 143 | I meal prep/plan out in advance 75%, or more, of my food; eating food made from scratch that I weigh/prep/divide out, or choosing pre-packaged options that are either pre-portioned or weighed out by me/per serving. I’m very careful and intentional with food choices. However, I also find myself on the go/out several times a week and during those times have relied mainly on either burrito bowls from Chipotle (I utilize their nutrition calculator online to build the bowl so I know exactly how to track what I eat) or a cup of grilled chicken (12 count) or grilled chicken sandwich, no sauce, from Chick-fil-A (I know the estimated macros for these options, based on their website, as well). Someone recently told me that even if I’m choosing very healthy options on the go, eating any type of “fast food” will ultimately hinder my overall progress because it’s not the same as eating the whole foods/made from scratch versions. Is there any truth to this? Obviously I don’t want to derail any progress, BUT if the macros are good and I grab one of these options out 1-2 times a week will that actually hinder me? | https://youtu.be/NCSbTfj7lEg |
Carb Cycling FAQ 144 | For someone who is checking all the boxes, so to speak, but still looking to boost their results would you recommend a supplement like Super Burner and/or Burn from Transform. Would these help accelerate results? | https://youtu.be/rIewUsG67Uo |
Carb Cycling FAQ 145 | Should I have a goal weight? I started my newest carb cycling journey 13 months ago and my why was to improve my blood sugar level and avoid pre-diabetes. Before the carb cycling challenge, I lost 10 pounds and since the CC challenge I have lost another 12 pounds. I know I struggle with the fear of failure in other areas of my life, and I am thinking it's an avoidance tactic. If I don't have a goal, then I can't fail at hitting that weight loss goal. I am extremely grateful for the weight that I have lost, and I never would have imagined a year ago that I would have come so far. Should I continue riding the wave of success and see how far I can go. Or should I challenge myself and set a goal to push though my fear of failure and avoidance. | https://youtu.be/U_vLiLMejdw |

Carb Cycling FAQ 149 | I'm really confused by my measurements. As of today I am down 15lbs but don't see any changes in my measurements. At first I thought it was me and not reading my tape right so I bought one like you suggested the connects and sinches and still no change. I have noticed my clothes fitting differently so I would think inches have to been lost. What am I doing wrong? | https://youtu.be/a_nNfsQiWsk |
Carb Cycling FAQ 150 | I have been ordering supplements from Transform for a couple years now, including protein, boost shot, hydration, and most recently the super burner. Sometimes the powders in the containers get clumpy. For awhile I thought I was doing something wrong storing them but now I have one that I just recently opened that is already clumpy. Is this normal? | https://youtu.be/anX6ICOfdwo |
Carb Cycling FAQ 151 | On a recent zoom, you mentioned something about not having to weigh or measure you food log everything for the rest of our lives. Can you explain more why you say this? I have only gotten good results when I am diligent about the logging and weighing and measuring so I have been of the mind set that this is what I will do for the rest of my life, kinda like choose your hard, it’s hard to yo yo with your weight or it’s hard to log everything…..I find when I think I got it down and can do it by look then pretty soon the weight is creeping back up. | https://youtu.be/etLGZcQUV_Q |
Carb Cycling FAQ 152 | I am staying true to my caloric intake, but always seems to have a more "bloated" feeling on HC days. I'm assuming this is carbs taking in water, but would love to know more.

Carb Cycling FAQ 154 | We’ve been making (and loving!) this grilled chicken recipe we found online, but I’m finding it hard to track. The marinade is a 1/2 cup EVOO, 1/2 cup lemon juice, garlic and a bunch of seasonings per every 2 lbs chicken. The chicken marinades for a couple hours, then gets removed from the bag/container and grilled. There’s a lot of marinade that gets poured out prior to the grilling, so I don’t want to track it with all of those macros (especially the oil). But also don’t want to under track on those calories too much either. What is the best way to approach marinades like this when trying to be really conscious of tracking everything? | https://youtu.be/_71mNQ9B2Ok |

Carb Cycling FAQ 156 | I have heard that you should consume 1 gram of protein for each pound of your ideal body weight. So, if my end goal is 170 lbs, I should aim for 170 grams of protein a day.

Carb Cycling FAQ 159 | So I have struggled for Many years with one of the same issues which I feel is holding me back From reaching my goal and maintaining at that weight. I have the mindset that I can eat whatever I want on reset day and at times for the whole weekend which the scale could go up 3-4lbs then takes most of the week to come back off. I was taught this mindset at a young age 11-12yrs old my mother took me to Weight Watchers and on the way home we would eat whatever we wanted for dinner but unfortunately I would do That for a few days. I would sneak food and eat alone so no one would know /closet eating began which is much better but can still exist at times ! I have maintained a weight loss of 90 lbs for quite a few years. It used to be over a 100lbs loss but I have gained some over the last 2 years ! So Looking for any suggestions to start to change this mindset . Thank you for everything My thoughts lately about it am I still labeling foods as good & bad Am I still restricting my food choices which is a possibility since I can’t remember the last time I had pasta or gone with the rest of the family for ice cream. I eat ice cream but alone not Normally with others I know this is a loaded question but I would appreciate any help With this matter I have basically been Overweight my whole life and would like to Lose another 40-45lbs | https://youtu.be/hn5_XHv1SKI |

Carb Cycling FAQ 170 | Rachel had mentioned about her power promises when she started her journey for a 2nd time. I don’t remember the specifics but there was one I believe about reporting in with Chris when she had something that was less than healthy. The conversation was about no shame and being honest on food choices and enjoying the food. Can you expand further on this thought and how it worked in more detail. It seems so counter intuitive but the more I think on this, I want to understand it more. As a lifetime emotional eater, the level of shame with food choices still haunts me and I want that devil to go away! | https://youtu.be/QBjuFHOPSI0 |

Carb Cycling FAQ 172 | I am a vegetarian and it’s been hard to consume proteins. In my opinion, consuming real food and fruits makes a bigger difference in weight loss than consuming processed foods. I would love to include your protein powders, will it still aid in weight loss? I am very new to protein powders, which one of your brand would you recommend to start with?
