 The cost of meat on the plans can be quite expensive. When looking for ways to save money I discovered Musclefood, an online butchers with great discounts, quality meats and for less than the supermarket. Click here to sign up and get a discount |
 MyProtein is the recommended supplier for protein powder and supplements for the plans. Click here to sign up and get a discount |
 The Protein Works are a good alternative protein powder & BCAA provider that some prefer due to the flavours. Click here to sign up and get a discount |
 Whilst the 90 Day SSS plan comes with some exercises/tutorials to follow you have to invent your own workouts and be disciplined enough to push yourself to the max. Being habitually lazy when it comes to exercise I decided to look elsewhere for my exercise needs and discovered the AMAZING T25 by Shaun T (Inventor of Insanity) which I put a lot of my success down to. |
| T25 does come with resistance bands, but I did need an exercise mat and bought this. |
 Cycles 2 & 3 of the plan require dumbells, a barbell, weights & ideally a bench. I didn't buy the right stuff and it ended up costing more in the long run as I needed to buy more weights. Based on what I now know after completing it I would recommend these weights : Pro Fitness Cast Barbell Dumbbell Set - 50kg |
 and this bench : V-fit Herculean STB 09-1 Folding Workout Bench |
| Lean in 15 & 90 Day SSS is about building lean muscle and body fat percentage reduction - normal scales don't show you this which is why I use Omron body composition scales. |
| Whilst I signed up for the 90 Day SSS plan to get my macros calculated and to have a personalised plan, lots of people get equal success from Joe's books and he has one to reflect each stage of the plan. This book reflects Cycle 1 on the 90 Day SSS plan but is no where near as strict when it comes to the food. |
| This book reflects Cycle 2 of the 90 Day SSS plan but isn't as strict when it comes to the food. |
| and his latest book reflects Cycle 3 of the plan and again the food side isn't as strict as the plan. |
| The Body Coach also has a new exercise DVD coming out soon and if you follow him on SnapChat you'll know the location looked amazing !!! |
| Spiralized vegetables are must on the plan to keep things interesting. This is really easy to use and clean and I wouldn't be without it. |
| It takes next to no time to make cauliflower and broccoli rice and this blender will make it even easier. It's does lots of things and is really easy to clean - one of my kitchen essentials and I love it. |
| It IS possible to have chips on the plan and still get lean. The Actifry is a great way to make chips with very little oil. It's also great for making fajitas and risottos. |
| You will also be making lots of smoothies so a good smoothie machine makes life easier. |
| We also found a George Foreman grill came in handy for cooking the chicken breasts, steaks etc. My children also love it when I use it to make a cheese panini but don't tell anyone! |
