Yes, I think I did, but I also went straight into NROL4W right after I finished so I am sure that has helped mostly....I really don't keep anything unless I keep it up! I felt stronger I guess because of variations of planks and pushups that she has and my core was stronger....it was a good jumping point of which to begin NROL4W, not really anything I would continue doing (unless I used it for it's purpose to get me ready for something). I also still do some circuit routines in place of HIIT since they are pretty much the same and get my heart racing!

The book said I was a "balanced oxidizer" which put me in the 40/30/30 club anyway, so I figured I didn't have to make changes to start NROL4W. I made a few of her meals but I use several books for menu options that all follow the same 40/30/30 plan.

She also is big on "purines" and how we metabolize them. Everyone is different.

She has you calculate your BMR and you are to stick to that number of cals/day. That is only about 1200 for me so I knew I couldn't do that. She does explain that normally she would suggest varying calorie intake to avoid plateau's and for weight loss...but that this book is designed to have you stick to this plan exactly, eat perfectly clean and you will CUT in just 30 days....for an event or whatever?? I am sure her other books are written quite differently for long term success.
hope that helps.
Nik
