I am a big fan of the bikini body guide ( and Kayla Itsines ) I discovered her BBG training guide a few years ago and was hooked after the first few weeks as I started to see results! I am going to be 100% honest and tell you it has been majorly hard for me to stay committed to the workouts in the past and to stay consistent. It has been an on and off journey for me with her guides until recently; I recommitted to the bikini body guide 1.0 12 week program on February 27th, 2017 and I have been going strong! (I am on week 8!!! yay!!) More on my bikini body guide journey later though… I want to talk about her meal plans!
She recently came out with a new book, The 28 Day Healthy Eating & Lifestyle Guide which I of course had to grab a copy of! What you eat is a huge factor in how your body will respond to the bikini body guide (or any exercise for that matter!)
The book is packed with great information, tons of recipes, and the photos are stunning, but, it sadly does not cater to the vegan BBG girl! So I decided to cater to the vegan BBG girl because I just know that I can’t possibly be the only vegan girl into BBG! I have gone through and personally changed all of her recipes for the first week and created a vegan version! If this is something you guys like let me know in the comments below and I will continue to go through her book, week by week and post the vegan versions each week!! Also, after you comment, make sure to subscribe to get the posts in the coming weeks right in your email inbox! Yay!

So that’s it for the first week! Are you doing the bikini body guide ? If you are, lets connect!! Leave me a comment and tell me where you are at on your bikini body guide journey! It’s always so much more fun to workout and do this “fitness journey” with friends!
Hello. I am so excited to find your website. I have been contemplating on starting Kayla’s program but didn’t know what to do about the meal plans. Right now I am eating raw vegan and I still don’t feel quite satisfied with it. I feel something is missing. I also enjoy developing my own yoga routine at home since I homeschool my kids and feel busy enough with them. I am dying to add Kayla’s workout program and the meal plan but didn’t know what to do about yoga and being vegan. You nailed it for me! Thank you! I would love to see if you could help me out with more of the menus you put together. Your progress is amazing as well! Keep up the great work!
Hi Meredith!! Thank you for your comment- so glad you found me too! 😉 Feel free to email me if you’d like to purchase further meal plans! xo namastshay@gmail.com
Thank you so much for this post! I recently started the kayla workouts and realize there are very few options for vegans! If you have any recent or new meal plans for vegans and this workout please let me know!!
