   I love that you are starting week schedules with a motivational video, thanks Z! I will definitely add more veggies this week, I normally eat them with smoothies, at lunch and at dinner. Where do you suggest to include the 2 additional cups? As a snack instead of fruit? Or increasing the portion at lunch / dinner?

   Thank you Zuzka for the motivational talk to start out the week. Definitely going to add more veggies this week, I already eat veggies daily but why not add it into a snack when that 3 o’clock in the afternoon hunger kicks in before picking up the kids at school. 🙂
   I agree that the commitment is there and so many of us follow the weekly Zgym workout schedules and let’s continue to support our training with healthy eating 🙂 – you continue to inspire me and keep me on track bella 😘

   Hi Zuzka! You have many gifts; but one that stands out for me is your ability to connect with your members! It’s a special gift and one I truly appreciate!

   In regards to eating more veggies….such a great reminder! I try to eat lots of veggies each day and I do it because it helps me in so many ways:

   I have more energy
   My skin looks healthier
   Great digestion!
   Fills me up and thus, allows me to eat smaller portion size of the rest of my meal
   Sends signal to my body that it’s getting high nutrients and thus I have less cravings

   I always aim to eat my veggies first – kind of like a “buy in” for my meal…lol. That way, I fill up on the veggies and it truly helps me to eat less and feel full as well.

   The vegetables I eat are always organic, and I think that’s really important as well.

   Thanks again!!

   I don’t have nearly as many veggies as I should. You helped me decide my lunch for today: mug quiche FULL of spinach! 🙂 YUM!

   Hi! It would be nice if there was a way you could link all your “replies” to people or posts since we are not all on the same page. Sometimes i come across them, and find them very helpful. Thank you for considering this.

   I just joined ZGym over the weekend and I’m so excited to get started! I used to do BBG, but I got pretty bulky once the program started adding on more weights so I want to make sure I am doing a good mixture and lots of body weight exercises. Is there a forum of facebook group for this community where we can connect with other members? I found a facebook group but it’s not active.

    Hi Zuzka,

    Since you said you were answering questions this week in your inspirational intro, I had one thing to ask 🙂 . Now that I’m at the point where I’d like to gain some healthy muscle while continuing to stay lean, what types of food should I add into my diet? Healthy fats like avocado, peanut butter, salmon, full fat yogurt/kefir, etc? Your Z shred plan worked so well (almost too well, haha) that now I need to bulk up a bit! 🙂 . If you could give some specific recommendations, that would be wonderful!

    Many thanks,
    Katie

      I can give you a general idea, but remember that it’s also very individual and you’ll have to experiment what works for you. Since the Z-Shred worked so well for you to get you lean, I would suggest you continue to eat the same way but omit the intermittent fasting days so that you stay lean without losing weight. Also make sure that you’re working out daily and challenging yourself with heavier weight when we’re doing workouts that includes weight – that is always effective way in adding more muscle mass. You can also add more WEMs to your diet on your training days and see how it feels – add some healthy grains like quinoa, oats, brown rice, and some starchy veggies like sweet potatoes.

        Hi again,

        Thank you so much for responding! I will definitely take your advice and try these new methods to see how they feel 🙂 . However, I’m not sure I mentioned that now I am a bit too much “underweight” and would benefit from gaining at least another 10-15 pounds of muscle aka “meat on my bones, lol” to feel healthier/more energized (it’s been harder to lift weights, and do workouts I used to do in the past etc…). Any extra/different advice in this case?

        Lots of love,
        Katie

        P.S. Happy Friday! 😉
