Body for life is a program written by a man named bill phillips. Often imitated, but never duplicated, bill’s plan is a surefire way to get healthy, skinny, toned, in shape and more importantly, stay that way.body for life consists of a 12 week program referred to as “a challenge”.
You can officially enter a contest and have your challenge judged and you can potentially win a lot of cool stuff. But most people just do the challenge for themselves.here are the basics:.
eat six small meals a day, 2 to 3 hours apart. balance each meal with a carb, protein and healthy fat. your portions should be about the size of your palm or fist.
Eyeballing is key in body for life. Calorie counting is not necessary. i follow the rule of thumb: eat as many grams of carbs and protein each day for every pound you weigh. So, 120 lbs=120 grams carbs, 120 grams proteindivided by 6 meals= about 20 grams of each per meal. your ratios for where your calories come from at the end of the day should be 40% carbs, 40% protein and 20% fat.
no white bread, white rice, white sugar, white pasta, super processed foods, high fat foods, super refined carbs, soda, sugary desserts, etc etc etc!. every other day, you do a 20 min high-intensity interval cardio work out. There is a specific 20 minute structure based on RPE (rate of perceived exertion). every other day, you do a 45 minute weight training session.
You alternate between upper and lower body work outs. There is a specific structure based on RPE to decide how much weight to use and how many reps you do for each muscle.
drink a crapload of water. You may as well get a catheter because you will be urinating so much due to all the water consumption. one day a week, all these rules are thrown out the window and you do whatever you want. Free day:)okay so there is probably a lot more to know than that, but those are the basics. If you do want to know more about body for life, read the book or ask me about it. I love body for life. I have a lot of resources for learning more about body for life and how to get started on it and how to stay on track.the best part about body for life is it is free!
The only thing it takes is motivation. And another bonus, it is a plan that is structured to be so manageable that you CAN do it for life. It is not just a 12 week thing. If you stop the program after just 12 weeks, you will end up where you started. But it teaches you habits that can be stuck to for ever and ever. And you will never have to go back to being miserable and unhealthy and overweight!i heart you, body for life. Ok, Janetha, now you’ve done it you’ve inspired me!
After taking the time to read through your blog thoroughly I have concluded that you are even more amazing than I thought! I really want to get fit and healthy now!This is a very happy/irritated moment for me You’re thinking: “What?” ok, let me explain, I am very easily inspired, but at the same time, when I get inspired I get hit by a wave of confusion a.k.a.
The “Where do I start” problem then I speed into “OMG, this is just too much for me to do” which inevitably leads to “I’m never going to be able to do this, I fail”.Instead of freaking out as per usual, I decided to do something different this time: ask for help!:POk, it might be stupid, because I don’t think I have any actual questions right now (just in the post-inspiration glow here.). But if I have questions about the way you break down your meals, exercise or what Body for Life means, could I maybe mail you?Love,TinaP.S.
You totally have to tell me how “the vegans” (as you so lovingly refer to them) get their protein! XD That veggie loaf looks mysterious but its protein package. Is amazing to say the least (what freak veggies did they put in there for god’s sake?!)January 17, 2010 at 9:46 am. I am serioulsy considering doing body for life. I am 35, the mother of 3 children (16, 6, 4) and am sick of being told that I look good for a 35 mother of 3. I do not like what I see in the mirror.forget about what I see when I step on the scale. I sit at a desk 10 hours a day 4 days a week surrounded by people who make bad food choices and order loads and loads of take out every weekI need serious help and after reading all the results and the website I think this is what I need.
Did you find it difficult to keep up will all of the meals? Did you use the EAS supplements?Erica February 18, 2011 at 5:43 pm. You are amazing!
Very knowlegable! I have started the program 2 times and stopped because of stress with school and work. (excuses, excuses!) But now everything is fine- I am exactly in the same boat as you! I am between138 – 135. I am doing the bfl and not giving up this time.
I run all the time and eat very healthy. I cheat here and there on date nights. Your blog is my home page now! I did what Emily suggests, a board on the wall with all your goals! Love that idea!
My biggest problem is if I dont have time to cook, I don’t eat at all. Do you have any suggestions that could help? Thanks again!Janetha August 15, 2011 at 2:52 pm. Hi Janetha, I did BFL a few years ago and had great results. Some weight has slowly crept back on and I want to do something about that. I see you have been doing Jamie Eason’s programme but you did not follow her nutrition plan. Did you therefore follow the BFL nutrition basics?
You had fabulous results which I hope to replicate (?!!!!) So I’m wondering what your nutrition plan was ie: no carbs (at all/after lunch etc) protein shakes? Also did you have a free day? I’d appreciate any advice you can give with regards to your nutrition/supplements to attain such fabulous results. Thanks!Lindsey March 22, 2012 at 7:22 am. Thanks so much, Janetha! It is going to be very helpful to be able to look at some of your old posts to get meal ideas! One last question for youwhat are your thoughts about the importance of having a meal 6?
My meal 6 falls at 10pm, but I am always hesitant to have it 1). Because I go to bed at 10:30 p.m. I am never really hungry for it. Do you think I should just have it and not worry about the time/my hunger level or do you think it’s best to skip it? Thanks so much!!Janetha July 6, 2012 at 12:12 pm. Just started following your blog!
I’m starting phase 3 of Jamie Eason’s program. I may redo phase 2.
But i’m not following nutrition plan, and have gained 7 pounds (sadly not all muscle). So i’m looking into BFL to maybe shake things up a little more balanced, less restrictive. Do Jamie’s program with BFL eating.anyhoo, my question Are the veggies on BFL weighed and measured and counted as carbs macro for the day, or are they a freebie?Janetha December 3, 2012 at 9:10 pm.

Hi Janetha!I just stumbled upon your blog and I must say that I LOVE it so far! You are too funny and so inspiring.I’ve been pretty active most of my life-worked out with various trainers on several different occasions-but in the last 6 months haven’t been as diligent with exercise. I got engaged in September, married in November and I feel like we’re still trying to figure out life as newlyweds and have “balance” in all areas.I’m pretty knowledgeable about most things health and fitness but hadn’t heard about BFL.
I’m super intrigued by the simplicity of it.I’m going on a trip in June and really want to look and feel better. What would you say would be the best way to start looking into BFL? Buy the book? Do you need the book to be successful? I guess I’m just wondering what you did the time when you were successful when you were first getting started. I really think this program could work for me but always feel overwhelmed in the beginning when starting something new. Anyways.that was incredibly long, but any pointers would be so helpful!
