Nourishing Gurus

Well, I messed that up!

Stebby,

I started getting suspicious when I started having DOMS for much longer than I should. Having worked out daily now for over a year, I should not be so sore. I was so uncomfortable last week that I couldn't work out for 4 days. It could be a number of things causing it but I am thinking it is gluten. I've been off any wheat products now for almost a week and I'm feeling better but still taking too many NSAIDS, though I started working out again yesterday. I talked with the gurus about it and they think it is food related too so I'm anxious to get into the program and see what happens. I may have a sensitivity to dairy or eggs as well. By eliminating dairy, eggs, wheat, etc., we can see what the response is when we start adding them back one by one and hopefully figure out which one or ones it is.
 
Well I signed up, but after getting the information, The "bonus's" were already provided via their web site, no nothing new there.

I am glad someone mentioned the 7 day refund policy...I may listed to the first call, then decide if I want to opt out or not. :(
 
Does the info include recipes, shopping lists? I'm still on the fence and only have until tomorrow. But if it's just eliminating certain foods, then I don't have to pay $97 to do that. I'm in the process of buying some food from their recipes on the website so maybe I'll just stick with those.

Yes, you get a shopping list and a bunch of recipes for smoothies, dips, salad dressings, soups, main/side/vegetarian dishes, desserts and snacks.

That's a lot of money for a shopping list and stuff you already know, JMO! When I saw the price, I was like :oops:

Well, to be fair, it's a bit more than that. Most helpful - to me - is direct access to two nutritionists answering my questions and the questions others ask (most being ones I've never thought of). And they answer right away.

Yes, I'm quite nutrition savvy and actually know most of this information, but the support, community and yummy recipes are really encouraging and helpful. And I'm super busy...it's helpful for me to have somebody do a lot of the thinking for me so all I have to do is decide what I like to eat. Kind of like doing one of Cathe's workouts versus having to come up with my own. Yeah, I know what exercises build strength for different body parts and how many reps/sets to do and yeah, I know what movements increase my heart rate and how to create both a HiiT and steady state cardio workout, and yeah, I can self motivate, but I'd rather let Cathe do all that thinking for me and just pop in a DVD, follow along with her exceptional encouragement and go. Same thing with this nutrition program.. :)

I hope there is more than that :p I am glad you getting a lot of the program out. If it's helping you go for it! And I am sure you will learn something new. I may sign up once I hear a little more how the program works.:D How long is the program? Meaning how long to you have access to the website and them answering your questions? The recipes do look good on their website:)

I think you have to sign up today and after that it's closed, but I'm not sure. It's a 21 day program (elimination program). Not sure if the FB group keeps going after that. I do agree that it was a little mysterious at the beginning, in that I wasn't quite sure that it was and didn't want to do a diet, since I only focus on lifestyle refinements. A quick check for food intolerances was attractive to me.
 
Trixoo, please keep us posted on how you like the program. I think, I will pass this time around. I broke my tooth a month ago, I needed a crown on that tooth. That was over $1000:oops: Two hours later, I was in so much pain. I had 2 damaged nerves. Last week my dentist sent me to a Endodonist, she confirmed I had 2 damaged nerves under that tooth, which needed to be removed. I wasn't happy with that. Tuesday I got a root canal on that tooth. I spend another $1000 on that:( I should have them pull that tooth:p LOL!

OMG!!! I hope you are okay now. Dental work is the worst. I think I might pass this time too esp since I don't belong to facebook and will not have access to that part of the plan.

Thanks you! I am doing much better today. I been taking a lot of strong meds, lol. I usually don't take meds, but in this case I did :p The pain finally calmed down, thank goodness! I think the worst if over. I do need to go back for stage 2 next month (before Thanksgiving), that's when they fill in the roots. That shouldn't hurt that much since she took out the 2 damaged nerves:) I will wait and hopefully someone will give a full review.

darn!
 
I was sure I wasn't going to do it as of last night, then I ended up signing up late last night because if I can't stick to it now because of timing - I will definitely want to give it another shot in January. I will have the information forever. So after listening to the 2nd call today, I am excited for a change. A little nervous that I will not be able to stick to it since I will be giving up a lot of things I eat, but it's only for 21 days, right. They said to get optimum results to stick to it strictly, but for the people that do not have any conditions they want to improve and just want to lose a little weight, gain energy and just feel better, then you do not have to be as strict - that you would still see results regardless. I am going to try to follow the plan though and see how I make out. I know what I should be eating but I like the experts to figure it out for me. They respond super quick and I am learning a lot I did not know. I was able to ask them about certain products I already use (protein powder, probiotics, etc.) - and the others on the FB group ask similar questions so I am getting a lot of product info I wouldn't of. Good Luck to everyone doing it!
