Yeah, the community features do seem to want you to pay, but the logs and calendar work free.
I'm not seeing how you say protein powder is disgusting? Drop some into a blender with a cup of juice, throw in some strawberries or other fruit, and it's not much different than a $4 fruit smoothie. When I drank two of them a day one of them would be all berry and the other chocolate peanut butter.
Did the ab workout last night but it's obvious I have a ways to go before I can even come close to full sets of 25 on many of those exercises. Fortunately the guy repeats over and over "do what you can do, pace yourself, and rest if you need it." Makes you feel like less of a dork for only doing 5 and then doing another 3 before the minute is up.
After one day on the diet, I have to say... this is a lot of food. More than anticipated. The dinner last night was piled up high on my plate. Of course, it was plain chicken breast, carrots, and apples, but it was a whole lot of them. I'm going to have to adjust the diet some because there aren't many vegetables I can eat without gagging.
ChadTower:
Plyo workout done. Paced myself a little more than yesterday... did 20 seconds in the 30 second stints, then did the full 60 second stints. No pauses but no puking either.

I would have to subtract a veggie serving from another meal - right now that's mostly carrots and I want those. Soon enough I'll be sick of all those carrots and can make the switch then. I always have a lot of baby carrots around anyway because my turtles eat so many of them.

i'm confused does this plan have a max amount of veggies or is it that you couldnt bear eating more than you have to cos of the gagging thing.
is it just cooked veg you gag on, i get that , i think its the texture more than anything
ChadTower:
It breaks things down into servings within categories... I have to eat 4 servings of veggies a day in the first 30 days. There are few vegetables I can eat without gagging, mostly because I hate them, but some just because of texture. As soon as they hit my soft pallet those ones come back up. I can deal with raw carrots but not 4 servings a day of them. I found today I do actually like munching on spinach, though, and that counts. So I see a lot of spinach coming up.

As long as you keep trying them, your pallet will become more sophisticated. So, just keep giving it a go. It took several years to train my wife who led a very sheltered culinary life, but she's really good about trying foods now.
And that texture argument is lame. The texture of pizza, pudding, ice cream, etc are all gooeey, slimey and gross but people like them because they taste good.
