    Hello, I placed an order on 03/30 and haven’t received any updates as to the status of my order. It was for a digital ultimate transformation. Should I have received any updates?

    thanks!


    • Patrick

      Mark, I see your program in the system I will have an email resent to you. It is complete and ready to download.


  2. tom bodrovics

    Hi Patrick…I’m not sure if this would be the right place to ask but I;m here now. I finally got home and have a chance to go over the menu you provided me. On my profile for the menu I said that I was 171lbs with a 13% bf ratio. My goal is 180lbs with 8%bf. Workouts are like kick boxing intensity 1 hour +- per session. High reps bodyweight excersises. What you provided me was a diet that consists of just over 1800 cals. per day …is this correct. I am not fat and don’t want to lose weight, if you know what I mean. Please review my info. and let me know what you think. thanks Patrick. Tom


    • Patrick

      Tom, I get where you are coming from. But you contradict yourself. I say that to be honest not a jerk. Intelligent arguments and opinions are the best, but we need to be on the same playing field on this one.

      You state you do NOT want to lose weight.

      You state you want to go from 13% body fat to 8% bodyfat while gaining muscle.

      On your order the primary goal selected was “lose body fat”.

      1800 calories refers to the “Primary Macro Nutrients” as stated in your cover letter. What this means is you are consuming approximately 20-30% more total calories in the program. That said you are consuming 2100 cals to 2340 cals on random days. We’ve done all that fluctuating math for you so you don’t have to.

      Tom, start the program, tell me if you are able to eat all the food each day. Then in a week report back to me with measurements, weights and bodyfat levels. Then I can help you tailor it if needed, but I already know that you will be surprised ripped and muscular in a few weeks.

    Hi Patrick i was wondering about the status of my order. i can only imagine how busy you guys must be. any info would be awesome

    thanks

      Got it all hooked up tonight. We are loading it to the server for you and will send you a link as soon as it is ready… at least if its loaded before I fall asleep… or first thing tomorrow morning.


  4. Aslam Khan

    Hi,

    I would like to burn some fat and build lean lots of muscle. which program will be perfect for me and how much does it cost .

    I am doing hard workout 6 days in a week.

    Rgds


    • Patrick

      Aslam, I completely understand your goals.

      I have been in and out of that goal for years, almost 2 decades now.

      The best plan to achieve both is to go with a Personalized Nutrition Program and Order the Advanced Lean Builder. That is the one that will work best for you to get both goals.

      I look forward to seeing your transformation success story.


  5. Katherine

    Hi,
    I’m trying to lose 15 pounds and don’t know any ratio’s on my body fat percentage and all that. But i weigh 148 pounds and i’m 5′ 8″. I’m not fat but would love to have a really tight stomach, more strenght, and slim my legs and thighs down. If you could suggest exercises, how much food i should eat a day,and how much cardio i should be doing that would be so so helpful! Thank you in advance


  6. Katherine

    To expand on that i have a meal plan but i don’t know how effective it is:

    breakfast
    In the morning i have shreddies with strawberries in it and 1% milk.
    snack
    non fat yogurt and carrots
    lunch
    sandwich on whole wheat bread and a bit of mustard, wheat crackers with white cheese, and a fruit bar that’s only 50 calories
    snack
    special K bar
    supper
    chicken breast with a salad that has tomotoes and cucumbers and brown rice

    That’s my meal plan and for exercise i run 15 minutes, then i do side planks, front planks, bicept curls, squats, lunges, i use the weight bench, but even with this i still need suggestions. I’m not good with knowing what to eat and what kind of working out i should be doing.


  7. fredrik

    whens that shake contest video coming up
    will be fun to watch haha:)


    • Patrick

      We should be done the edits this month, but its gonna be close. For sure the recipe guide and videos will be ready in June. Some of them are great… others are great to watch.


  8. Robin

    Patrick~ I have been trying to get intouch with you for a few weeks & this is the THIRD time that I’m sending this email. It’s been almost 1 month since I’ve haqd my plan & still haven’t gotten started. Here is a copy of the emails I’ve sent. PLEASE send a response to my email address!!
    Good morning!
    I have been taking the first week studying my program before I actually start full force, and have a few questions. So here they are:
    1: There are some days that I eat my last snack at 10:00 a.m., and then don’t eat again until 9:00 p.m.. I don’t go to sleep until 2:00 p.m. +/-. Am I supposed to go that long without eating?

    2: How do I eat on my transition days, ( going from my working days to my days off), I am awake from 9:00p.m., until 8 – 9:00 the following evening, so that would be 24 hours! Do I just eat non stop for that period?

    3: Are all veggies basically “freebies”, with the exception of corn, carrots, & peas? Do I need to measure them or just wing it on most of them?

    4: What types of cold cereal are you talking about on those mornings?

    5: Most of my breakfast days call for some type of cooked breakfast, namely, eggs w/ veggies. Five of those mornings I am working and can’t cook my breakfast. Help?

    6: I like to eat quinoa. How do I substitute it for breakfast, or say for the rice?

    7: Can I add different flavored extracts to my plain yogurt and oatmeal? I don’t like the taste of plain. And also, can I use Stevia for my sweetener in the yogurt?

    Thanking you in advance for my answers! I am excited to get started!!
    Robin Bishop

    P.S. Since the original, I have been to the dr., and I now am told I am going through memopause. I have gained 10 lbs in 2 mths & it’s been gained in my chest & stomach. PLASE HELP!


    • Patrick

      Robin, I have a few questions to better help you.

      1. When you ordered your Personalized Nutrition Program did you incorrectly by accident have your workout times wrong? We never ask anyone to eat a last snack at 10am and nothing until 9pm, unless they are shift workouts who wake up at 8 or 9pm.

      2. Eating on Transition days is fairly easy. Eat your last meal as you go to bed. Don’t eat when you sleep. Eat your first meal within 30 minutes of waking. Then follow a 3-4 hour feeding schedule.

      3. Veggies are NOT freebies. The only freebies are water and dry herb and spices. Veggies are carbs. ONLY swap Carbs (C) for other carbs. Follow your measurement instructions we are very detailed in that respect.

      4. Dry cold grain based cereals

      5. You can swap any breakfast with any other breakfast, so use your preferred favorite.

      6. Quinoa is exactly the same measurements as rice, but comes with added protein and nutrients. Straight exchange.

      7. natural non caloric extracts and herbs are acceptable to add to any dish

      Sorry I was travelling for business a lot last week and had limited internet and responding becomes a risk when things cut out or you get half the message.

      Patrick.

      RE: Menopause, don’t stress, great nutrition will help you blast past the hard part of the process and make it bearable almost enjoyable if you can enjoy such a thing… sorry I know it sucks, but it will get better.


  9. Javier

    Hello, I got the subscription for the meal plan to lose fat, but i just have one big question, I work out 6 days a week, 4 days I lift and do some cardio and 2 days I just do cardio, so my question is, I eat pre and post workout meals which is a protein shake and a banana for pre and a protein shake post work out is about same calories as one of my snacks do that means that i have to cut one of my snacks to keep the same amount of calories that i have to consume during the day?


    • Patrick

      I suggest making one bigger shake and simply using that split over the PRE and POST workout. I suggest going about it as you are, but if nothing changes… well then nothing changes and as Einstein said, “if you want to change something you must change something”.

      OK that philosophical rhetoric aside… start doing it your way. Then after 30 days if you are NOT getting noticeable results, then go with the meal plan EXACTLY as outlined for you.

      It could be the pre and post workout shake that is keeping you from exposing the ripped six pack abs. I would easily wipe out the PRE workout shake for real results. Those PRE calories are fueling your fat stores whether you realize it or not and you never really reach deep into the energy and fat reserves to get truly ripped, shredded and peeled.

      I look forward to seeing your transformation success story.


  10. Angela King

    I purchased the empowered nutrition meal plans about a year ago. We had a computer failure and I lost my downloads. Is it possible to have access to them again.
    I paid thru my husbands paypal accout. His e-mail is svilleken@charter.net my e-mail is svilleangie@charter.net. His name on the pay pay account is Herman Kenneth King.
    Thank you for your help.
    Angie


    • Patrick

      Angela, I am sorry to hear about your computer crash. Believe it or not my main laptop just crashed this week to. I am wasting so much energy, time and mental space on saving the files and getting a new one set up the way I need it… it is downright painful.

      I have sent you an email with the download links once again for you to download.

      Thanks for letting me know.


  11. Steven

    I ordered the Meal Plans Deluxe Package about 2 weeks ago and have not received anything yet. I’m wondering when I’ll be getting them because my wife and I are ready to start the program. Do you know how much longer it will be?

    Thanks,

    Steven


    • Patrick

      Steven, its great to know that you got your meal plans ordered.

      Did you NOT get to the page that has the request to CONFIRM your purchase so we do not lose you in the mix of web pages and such?

      That page is the one that allows you to confirm your order and move to the download page.

      For security reasons I will have to email you that link and verify your order when I do that.

      Thanks for your patience and thank you for letting me know.


  12. Dave MacLellan

    Hello Empowered Nutrition. I purchased the meal plans + 4 week jump start coaching back in September. I had my computer recently redone and cannot find where to get the links so i can view those meal plans again. I have proof of purchase and receipt in my email if needed. Thanks

    Dave MacLellan


    • Patrick

      Dave, check your email and you will see a message from me to you with your link built in for the meal plans package. Thanks for letting me know. Sorry about your computer, my laptop crashed last week and I had to get a new one… it sucks BIG TIME


  13. Wanda

    I am interested in losing 20 pounds and most of that can be all the extra fat I am carrying. I am a 53 year old, pre-menopausal woman. Can you tell me which program would work best for me? I exercise daily, either using, kettle bells, total gym, and interval walking/running, or just plain walking. Hope this helps in helping me make a decision. Thank you.


    • Patrick

      Wanda, I think that you are doing all the right things. Starting with the research and asking questions is the right first step. As for what program is best for you I am assuming you are talking about our Personalized Nutrition Programs. That being said… it depends on your body fat composition more than your target weight loss.

      so 20 pounds to lose I can do quickly and effectively. But I can only assume that you would be best suited to start with a Foundation Fat Loss Personalized Nutrition Program then progress beyond that if a leaner body is more desirable. Alternatively you can get the best results with the Ultimate Transformation Personalized Nutrition Program


  14. tom bodrovics

    Hi Patrick…you had an excellent article on how you preped yourself a few days before a show. For the life of me I cannot find it on this new format in your web site. It had to do with carbs and some excercises you did a couple days out.

    It would be greatly appreciated if you could steer me the in the right direction.

    Thanking you ahead of time , Tom


    • Patrick

      Tom, I don`t remember the exact title of the post, but I would think it had to do with the terms contest, competition, etc… If I can`t find it I will look to repost something similar in the next 30 days as we are about to launch our 3 stage 12 week meal plans.


  15. tom bodrovics

    Hi Patrick….thanks form your response. I greatly appreciate your effort. It was on a page that only had 2 or 3 posts and I believe it was posted sometime in 2009. I’m kind of desperate though as my time line is within the next week. You see I am going to enter a contest and my photos have to be done by May 29 at the latest. I’m looking pretty good right now but I have never gone to that extra mile before with the pre-contest prep and all and I’d love to do it. Anyway Patrick if you have the time great but I do understand.

    Have a grrreat day!

    Tom


    • Patrick

      Tom, I will grab what I think you are looking for. In the mean time here is a plan for you right now.

      Today – cut your carbs to less than 10% of your calories… all at breakfast (after a brisk incline walk) and postworkout in the form of dry grains
      Today – NO fruit
      Today – NO Dairy
      7 days out
      - Double your water intake from normal
      - Practice posing every morning when you wake up and before bed… ***REMEMBER TO SMILE***
      - Train as always
      6 days out – same as 7 days out
      5 days out – same as 6 days out
      4 days out – same… NO Training,,, REST DAY, just posing and walking
      3 days out – NO Carbs, NO Sodium and a total body depletion workout, 2 posing sessions, 2 walks – half water intake (returning to normal)
      2 days out – NO Carbs until after the training session then you can start on the carb loading if you choose, I prefer not to carb load, rather fat loading as there is less chance of spill over of water into skin and creates a harder look to the body, NO Sodium and a total body depletion workout, 2 posing sessions, 2 walks – half water intake (50% of normal)
      1 day out (day before contest) – half yesterdays water intake (25% of normal) all before noon. BACK to ZERO Carbs, 2 posing and 2 walk sessions, 1 long focused stretching session… PROTEIN ONLY today if you are fat loading (*highly recommended Fat Loading)… NO Fluids, brush your teeth and spit it out
      Contest Day – assuming you are fat loading after carb loading 2 days earlier for 24 hours. Have a good bacon, egg and bacon breakfast. NO CARBS it will help keep you looking dry and hard… carbs can cause you to spill over the water from the muscle to the subcutaneous skin layers, leaving you looking smooth and bloated. NO liquids again today until the event is over. Have a BIG steak for lunch, no carbs, just protein and fat today.

      Tom I will post the depletion workout and carb loading articles shortly on their own pages or blog posts for all to see and use

      I hope this helps you Tom


  16. tom bodrovics

    Hi Patrick….thankyou so much for your quick response and effort in finding the post. I really appreciate it. When I am done I will send you a picture of the finished product. Thanks you again.

    Tom


    • Patrick

      Awesome Tom. I can’t wait to see the end results of all your hard work.

      Oh yeah, for your depletion workouts I highly recommend this format.

      Warm up, casual walk on incline 5-10 minutes.
      1 exercise per body part x 3 sets (Heavy, Heavier, Ligther but not light)
      1 set heavy 6-10 reps
      1 set HEAVY 4-6 reps
      1 set medium weight 25-50 reps
      Stretch and Cool down

      This format truly depletes glycogen stores and dips into fat stores (what’s left) and prepares the body for super compensation and swelling of water and carbs into the muscle cells leaving you full and not smooth, like so many guys end up looking bloated and hiding amazing sinew muscle.


  17. tom bodrovics

    Good morning Patrick…thankyou again for sharing more of your time and knowledge with me. I am grateful!!

    I know I have some additional question regarding the depletion protocal you set out. I will study it first and try and figure it out before I bother you again.

    Thankyou again Patrick.

    Tom


  18. tom bodrovics

    Hi Patrick…I don’t mean to be a pain but I need clarification on some of your points.
    From 7 down to the 4th day out you said DRY grains only post workout. Can this be dry old fashioned oats? Is this correct?

    Water intake…I’m drinking 4-5 litres a day right now @ 164lbs. Is this adequate?

    3days out ..NO carbs….does this mean not even veggies eg. leafy greens, broccoli, asparigus.

    Fat loading…Specifically what kind of fats would this include and how much?

    1 day out….Lean Protien only along with fat if fat loading or lean protien ONLY?

    Picture day….contest day….Steak for lunch…. Steak only or can it be with a salad and veggies?

    Last thing …am I allowed to eat nuts….walnuts, almonds. pumpkin seeds, pecans for the oil and fat or leave it out because of the added carbs?

    I hope I don’t sound to anol Patrick but I want to get this on the money.

    Thankyou , Tom


    • Patrick

      Tom, you are doing great.

      Dry grains can be old school oatmeal… its the one I like best.

      5 liters water is good.

      3 days out NO Carbs… NONE… ZERO

      I fat load with peanut butter, flax seed oil and bacon

      1 day out eat the same proteins as always… no change… just add the other fats in

      You can eat nuts… I like to use them when dieting it satisfies the brain and belly.

      You are doing great… keep at it.

      I bet you look amazing by now.


  19. Scott Stanat

    Hi!

    I purchased the meal-plan package last July, but I’ve lost the URL to the body-fat calculator. Could I get that again, please?

    Thanks

    Scott


    • Patrick

      Sure thing Scott. Check your inbox. “SUBJECT: Body Fat and Meal Plan Selector Tool”


    • Patrick

      Do you still have your download page URL? It should be on your original receipt and email. If not, let me know and I will get it for you ASAP.


  20. Steven

    Patrick, I got the confirm email but when I clicked the link it just opened up a new webpage with empowered nutrition and thats it. I then clicked it and it brought me to another page. If I’m supposed to download the meal plans off of that page, where is it located on the webpage? If you have to re-email me everything then that’s fine. Thanks for your help.

    Steven


    • Patrick

      Steven, can you tell me what page is NOT working. Add the URL right here and I will see what you are seeing and that way we can correct the problem. Could be a browser thing, but I am not sure and want to help you get everything.


  21. David

    Congratulations on the 10 year anniversary – I wish you many more!

    Being a married man with a family, I’m sure you can relate…..
    I am very interested in the Done-For-You Fast Fat Loss special that you are running. However, I do need to ask how can/do I do this with a wife and a 14 year old son? Can we all utilize this program eating the same “main course” meals with a few variations maybe on the sides? Or will we have to prepare 3 entirely different meals based on each of our likes, body types and goals?

    Thanks


    • Patrick

      You might be one weight… I am sure your wife is .50 to .70 your weight and size.

      That said you would take your recipe and multiply it by 1.60 (mid .50 and .70)

      Do the same for your kids and you will all be healthy and lean in a hurry.


  22. Steven Phillips

    To Whom it may concern,

    My desktop PC has died and I have lost all of my login information and documents I had purchased from your website through the Empowered Nutriotion program.

    Is there anyway you can re-supply me with the login URL and password for access again.

      Steven, that sucks… my laptop died just last week too.

      Let me get your link for you.

  23. Nathan

    Hey, it’s been a while since I’ve been able to contact you. I’m not sure why that was. Anyway, I was wondering when will I be receiving my macro mass meal plans? According to the tracking they were dispatched on 2010-05-22 10:37:03, but I haven’t received anything in my email (I even check spam).

    Thanks,
    Nathan


    • Patrick

      Nate, did you NOT get your email? Let me look it up for you again, sorry, i should have followed up.


  24. Uryel

    I just wanted to ask you. the portions on the diet seemed pretty big. maybe I’m getting something wrong. What do you mean by 1.00P or 4.00F I know it says portions if it says 4.00F does that mean for four meals? thanks for the help.


    • Patrick

      a portion is a measurement.

      1 P = 7 grams PROTEIN
      1 C = 9 grams CARBS
      1 F = 3 grams FATS

      1 portion is the measurement that allows for the easy swapping of ingredients and meals.


  25. Steven

    Hey I got your meal program awhile back. I guess you’ve come out with some newer more personalized meal programs. I did it for awhile but life and stress kind of got in the way of keeping up with it. Anyway given what I already have I was looking to shed some belly fat before my Hawaii trip at the end of next month. I was looking at the “Beach Body Ripped” plan and thought it would be more protien and less carbs but there isn’t much difference from the “Fat Loss” plan. Should I go with the “Contest Ripped” plan to drop the fat quicker or what? I’m on a very brutal workout plan right now so I’m set there but was hoping you could point an older customer in the right direction. Any advice would be great, thanks.


    • Patrick

      Contest Ripped IS very low carbs… fats and proteins are higher. You will love how fast this works for you.

      If you want a personalized nutrition program, we can rock the results even more.


  26. Debi

    I am in need of some help. When I click onto the coaching or any section where I am to login, I can’t. How can I reset that section. I have not been able to get in for months now but keep trying. Could someone direct me please.

    • Patrick

      I will pull up your details and membership info. A new membership site will be live in a few weeks and have a password reset system built in for instances like this.


  27. Dave

    Hi Patrick –

    I purchased your $77 Fat Loss Meal Plan package from http://www.empowerednutritionmealplans.com/. I had two questions I was hoping you could clear up that I could not find in the diet manual.

    1. On the meal plan, how do I know how many grams of each macronutrient I’m getting? For instance on the 1750 cal plan day 1 says Protein:19, but it’s obvious by looking at the foods listed, I’m eating more than 19g of Protein on that day which leads me to believe that 19 doesn’t represent grams. Could you please clarify?

    2. Based on your calculator I am supposed to follow the 1750 calorie plan. However, does this take into account activity level? For instance, I exercise and lift weights 3-5 times a week, so would this be enough calories for me? Should I bump up to a higher caloric plan?

    Any insight you might be able to provide would be extremely helpful, thank you.


    • Patrick

      Dave, i think we got this covered in our other comment response.

    I have a question want to consult, please contact me！

      What is your question? Please post it here, if it is private I will not approve it for public display, just let me know what it is you need to discuss and if its personal and private. Thanks I look forward to helping you.

      The next stage is to book a conference call that will be recorded for you to make use of and listen to whenever you need to follow up.

    Hi Patrick –

    I’m posting my question again because I think it got removed from this area, not sure how… Anyway, I purchased your Fat Loss Meal Plan package, and have 2 questions I was hoping you could clear up that I could not find in the diet manual.

    1. On the meal plan, how do I know how many grams of each macronutrient I’m getting?

Could you please clarify?

    [Dave 19 portions x 7 grams = 133 grams of protein x 4 calories = 532 calories of 1750 Primary Macro Nutrients coming from Protein]

    2. Based on your calculator I am supposed to follow the 1750 calorie plan. However, does this take into account activity level? For instance, I exercise and lift weights 3-5 times a week, so would this be enough calories for me? Should I bump up to a higher caloric plan?

    [Dave the tool is pretty accurate. Your training hasn't changed, so the nutrition must to get a desired outcome. For example a sedentary person who eats well wants to lose fat... Exercise is the catalyst. YOU already exercise and are currently at a level your body is comfortable with, so NUTRITION is the catlyst. Bottom line is you are eating about 20-30% more calories on any given day than what the total at the bottom says, we did the math for you so you don't have to. Last point. You will never know if this is too much or too little until you try it. Take it for a test drive for the next two weeks, then ask me again.]

    Any insight you might be able to provide would be extremely helpful, thank you.

    Many Thanks,
    Dave


    • Patrick

      Dave sorry your question got lost… I have my assistant looking for it, but more importantly I answered it in your comment questions. here are the answers again.

      1. Dave 19 portions x 7 grams = 133 grams of protein x 4 calories = 532 calories of 1750 Primary Macro Nutrients coming from Protein

      2. Dave the tool is pretty accurate. Your training hasn’t changed, so the nutrition must to get a desired outcome. For example a sedentary person who eats well wants to lose fat… Exercise is the catalyst. YOU already exercise and are currently at a level your body is comfortable with, so NUTRITION is the catlyst. Bottom line is you are eating about 20-30% more calories on any given day than what the total at the bottom says, we did the math for you so you don’t have to. Last point. You will never know if this is too much or too little until you try it. Take it for a test drive for the next two weeks, then ask me again.

      Hey Patrick!

      Thanks so much for the quick response I really appreciate it. It’s much more clear now. I’ll go ahead and give the 1750 cal plan a go and see what happens from there.

      Thanks again for the helpful feedback!

      All the best,
      Dave


    • Patrick

      Glad to be able to help you Dave.

    hi i’ve been looking at the diet plans and would like to know(hope its not too much of a stupid question) what does a ‘cup’ mean in terms of weight? As in 2/3 cup of oatmeal –
    2 2/3 cups Fruit juice…..?
    Thanks for the help


    • Patrick

      Sorry, a cup is NOT a measurement of weight. It can’t be a weight as each item in a cup will be a different weight, its a measurement of volume, not weight.

      Sorry I don’t have a better answer, but that is the ONLY answer. Its like apples to oranges. You just can’t accurately compare the two.


  31. Debi

    Patrick, is this the members login area? If not my username and password do not work and I can’t open it. Could you guide me on how to fix this please.


    • Patrick

      Sorry Debi, what page are you on?


  32. Nathan

    No, I did not receive any emails reguarding the macro mass meal plans. I’ve checked everywhere.

    Thanks,
    Nathan


    • Patrick

      OK let me grab yours link and send you another email. I have it somewhere, sorry. Glad you finally bounced back here.

  34. kim

    for any of the vitamins, fat burners etc that you sell are they 1 month supply also I can’t seem to find shipping charges. Do you ship to Cost Rica and what are the charges. thanks


    • Patrick

      Kim, the pills are all 1 month supply. The Protein Smoothie is 494 grams and everyone uses it differently.

      YES we will ship to Costa Rica, but the shipping could be prohibitive. Can you supply me with your address and I will have a shipping quote for you right away.

      I look forward to helping you accomplish your goals.


    • kim

      my shipping address is
      [actual address numbers edited for protection]
      Surfside, Playa Potrero
      Santa Cruz, Guancaste
      Costa Rica


  35. James Dupuy

    This is not the type of program I was seeking. I am requesting a full refund in accordance with your 60 day policy.

    Order Number: NDXE8JGL

    Thank you,

    James Dupuy


    • Patrick

      James I just sent you an email in regards to this. You will want to use the link on your receipt to get the instant refund as promised. Sorry this is NOT what you were looking for.


  36. Mike

    Last night i bought the deluxe packages but i can not find the bodyfat calculator or did not get a log in account. Help


    • Patrick

      Did you get the download page link? First you would have made the purchase, confirmed your information and been granted instant access to the download page and that is where the products and the body fat calculator is located.


  37. Darin Zegar

    We just couldnt leave your website before saying that we really enjoyed the quality information you offer to your visitors… Will be back soon to check up on new posts


    • Patrick

      Thanks, I am happy that you find this useful


  38. Mike

    I NEED THE BODYFAT CALCULATOR I CANT FIND IT HELP


    • Patrick

      We will get that link, live and active today for you Mike. not sure what page you are trying to link to it from, but it should be on your download page.

      What product package, what page are you downloading from? This will help me find the problem immediately.


  39. Jennifer

    I am a new user and i registered and confirmed.. then looked around the site. The next day i tried to go back on and look and i everytime i click on “click here” for returning visitors it just brings up the same page and it is not letting me log on? what am i doing wrong?


  40. dora

    Hi Patrick. I put a diet through a couple of weeks ago, it is for one of my clients. When I tries to go under my login, it keeps saying that there is an error on the page. Can you let me know the status of the diet. Thanks


    • Patrick

      Hi Dora, we are switching to a new server and will be with intermittent error codes. Everything should b e solved this week and be much more effective and faster with next to no interruptions in service for another 3 or 4 years.

      I will have the personalized Nutrition Program shipped out tomorrow.


  41. Jennifer Deobald

    I am a new user and when i click on the returning visitor page it just reopens the page that i was on? Can you please help me get into the program i would like to look up some food stuff thanks


    • Patrick

      Jennifer, can you help me know what it is you are looking for or were previously reading so I can better help you? Glad you like it enough to ask for help. I look forward to helping you find that info and to accomplishing your goals.

      Which program specifically did you get and are looking for again?


  42. mike

    hello I ordered the delux package on june 28th I still can’t find the bodyfat calculator help


    • Patrick

      Mike, I will get you that link today, sorry I missed this one. The link should be on the product download page, but just in case, I will find it and get it to you. Its an online link and tool, not a download.


  43. Amber

    I purchased and paid for a digital Foundation Fat Loss Program almost a week ago but have not received any information about how to customize or personalize my program. I have been emailing the email on my Paypal receipt sales @ empowerednutritionsystems.com but my emails keep bouncing back as undeliverable due to lack of storage.

    The checkout said after paying I would be redirected to a confirmation and personalization page, but I was not.


    • Patrick

      Amber did you NOT get the redirect link on check out to start the Personalization of your program, that is very disturbing, thank you for letting me know. I will email you that link immediately. Look for your email in your inbox shortly.


    • Amber

      Patrick – thank you…but its been two days and I still haven’t received anything. I am very anxious to start the program so if you could send that information as soon as possible that would be great. Thanks again!


  44. mike

    it has been 2 weeks since I ordered the deluxe package and still do not have a link to he bodyfat calculator I would like to use this system to the max also it said there was coaching as part of the deluxe package and never got a log in or password please help


    • Patrick

      Mike, just making sure you got your email with the link to the coaching audios, workbooks and downloads… can you confirm this? Thanks.

      the bodyfat/meal plan selector tool is on the download page where you grabbed the books, and downloads. It is a web tool not a download. it won’t work on your computer if you downloaded it.


  45. Amber

    Hi Patrick – In case you have not checked your email, the link you sent me to go to the customization page said that a login and password was required. I have also forwarded my Paypal receipt with transaction ID detailing my order. I am trying to be very patient, but I ordered my plan 17 days ago now, and still have nothing. It is a shame because this program has come highly recommended, but if I do not receive anything by Friday, I will be filing for a refund through Paypal…I am getting married in just over 2 months and if I cannot get a nutrition plan from your company, I will give my money to another.


    • Patrick

      Amber, you will need a password and user name, was that NOT in the email?

      I will send you a new link. Sorry for the challenges, we will get this done real fast and I will personally build your program for you and send you some added bonus gifts for your patience.

      check your inbox for an email from me.


  46. Rob

    Hi, i recently purchased the Done for You meal plans deluxe membership and was wondering where the MASS Building Meal Plans – To Grow AFTER The CUT were as i cant find them, i have found the other bonus meal plans apart from this one.

    Thanks, Rob


    • Patrick

      Hey Rob, can you remind me exactly what package you got. Sorry, I have several meal plan packages out there with MASS and Fat Loss Meal Plans.

      Just let me know what the package name was, like Budget Diet and Ultimate Meal Plans or Fat Loss meal Plans or FREE Muscle Gifts, etc… you get the idea.

      Thanks. I can tackle that for you real fast or if its a broken link we will fix it and I am sure others would like the same thing too.

      can’t wait to see your transformation success story Rob.


  47. Rob

    I ordered the budget diet and ultimate meal plans. I managed to download the mens fast fat loss meal plan bundle, beach body ripped bundle and the contest ripped mean bundle from the Meal plan Deluxe edition customer download area. When i bought it, it was meant to contain the Mass building Meal plans – to grow after the cut.


    • Patrick

      Rob, did you get the email with the link to the MASS Building Meal Plans I sent you last week? I never heard back and was just wondering. let me know and I can resend it.


  48. Rob

      Rob. Sorry you did not get the download or it did not appear for you. TECHNOLOGY… AAARGH!!!

      Thanks for letting me know.


  49. Nancy

    Hello Patrick,
    On 18 July I ordered 2 – 1 lb containers of the Protein Smoothie. I paid through PayPal, and the transaction is marked as completed. I received no email confirmation, and have yet to receive the product.


    • Patrick

      I will put a trace on this for you Nancy, sorry about that, I am sure it can be resolved quickly and if missing another shipment will be sent to you.


  50. Dave

    Hi Patrick,

    I’ve been following your 1750 fast fat loss meal plan and so far so good. However, I noticed that it requires me to eat a lot of cheese. Although, I’m eating low-fat cheese should I be concerned about any health risks associated with consuming so much cheese (i.e. high cholesterol)?

    Thanks,
    Dave


    • Patrick

      You should be pretty safe, since there are vast amounts of good healthy fats to compensate the bad ones in your mealplan you are safe, unless you have issues with your heart and cholesterol of course.
