LOL!!! Thank you! Thank you for posting this!! I too have to go to the

bathroom a lot too! Unfortunately it is usually in the middle of my workout

and just how you described! I get up at 5:15a and need to get right to my

work out. I have tried walking around for 5 or 10 minutes hoping I could

get the bathroom stuff out of the way before my workout but nope! Always

right in the middle!! So, I guess it is not just you two!

Hmmm, maybe but I don't think so. I try to target a 45%/35% protein carbs

split. I thought most people target 40% carbs. I could be wrong here. But

I think I am lower on the carbs end and I still experience it too. Maybe

the type of carbs we eat?

Handy,

I don't remember having that problem (if it's really a problem) in

the beginning, but I just finished my 1st challenge. I am in

my " off " week now and I can't stay out of the bathroom. I think my

body is rebelling and trying to rid itself of the the foods that I

have not been eating for the past 12 weeks.

I'm not too sure about that either - I'm eating less carbs than I

used to - and I wasnt' like this before! I'm wondering about the

UDO's???

in all honesty, you should take one week off every 6-9 weeks of

intense weight training so the body can recovery from what is has

been put through (numerous studies out there on the power of

recovery, if you do some searching I am sure you will find them). but

since BFL is a 12 week program then take one off at the end of the

program.

Are you taking Betagen? Creatine can cause a little gas, stomach

cramps, and for things to " move along " at times. I got pretty sick

and had to leave it alone all together but most people don't find

those symptoms last at all.

from: http://www.greencanyon.com/products/r100021.htm

While there are no negative complications reported in the medical

literature on creatine monohydrate supplementation, some users have

experienced minor side effects. No toxicity reports have been noted,

nor side effects reported that warranted discontinuation of

supplementation. The most common side effect has been mild diarrhea,

but usually this is experienced when loading or maintenance doses

exceed 5 grams. Occasionally, gas or flatulence, upset stomach, and

stomach cramps have been reported.

I'll have to check the label on the shakes we are drinking. DH

bought it so I havent even looked at it to be truthful. It does

say " meal replacement " on it - I'll take a closer look. DH thought

it could be the shakes too.....

thank you for the info.

And thanks Bill for the other info - I didnt know that (I'm SO new at

this stuff - I've never lifted weights before in my entire life!!)

Handy,

Yep, you are suppose to take at least one week off after 12 weeks.

This prevents overtraining. I am not enjoying my week off. I liked

the planning and routine that I got into on the BFL program. I went

to the gym this morning - I just couldn't help it. I was planning to

only do about 20 minutes of light to moderate cardio, but before you

know it, I had done 20 minutes of HIIT. Some habits are hard to

break!
