The workouts look pretty tough--alternate days of weights and intervals with interval/steady state workouts. One day of rest (and no carbs).

I hope this is a misprint or you are a very tiny person.

Your NROLW calories are the same as mine. I'm 5'2" and have at most 20# to lose (maybe less). I thought that starving was bad, that you can't build muscle (or even maintain it) at those levels...
Yeah, I get that it's a short-term "crash" diet... but I can't imagine eating that low and working out hard. And NROLW (I'm on stage 3 right now) isn't anywhere near as intense and extreme as what was described (6/week lifting and HIIT).
Aren't we supposed to, theoretically, be learning a way of life? A HEALTHY way of life? Isn't a big point of NROLW explaining why crash diets are so bad and how they hurt our metabolism, etc etc...?????
I guess I'm not the target audience for this, 'cuz I'm way too skeptical (not of the results, but of the health risks and longterm consequences), even if Allwyn has his name on it.
