absolutely! I've done Insanity before and it was awesome, I literally drank so much of my own sweat it was gross. And curves are not a bad thing!
No no no ! I would rather stick needles in my eyes than insanity my brothers are fitness monsters and i seen them with it no thank you ha I'll just stick to 30 day shred and its not the curves on its own its the excess fat around them haha0 -

I'd make sure you're getting some dietary fat with those veggies so that you can actually absorb all of the nutrients.0

Just make sure you are getting enough fat in your diet, basically. Too little fat in your diet is bad as fat is actually needed for your body to function.0 -

I have porridge almond nuts and a Greek yoghurt for breakfast almonds for mid snacks and always some sort of meat and veggies for dinner even though still getting used to meat Lil normally tuna salad for lunch0 -

What do your macros workout? Like how much of your overall day is your fat intake? That's what he's more referring to, not just individual foods.
I think (and someone correct me if I'm wrong) that you typically need anywhere between 25-35% for your fat macro.0 -

I think the OP mentioned above that she hasn't started tracking yet but plans to start on Monday.

That's fine. I was just trying to explain about why it was mentioned she make sure she was getting in enough fat. And my recent response was more to explain that the fat intake was going to be an overall thing, not just individual foods.

Fair enough. 25-35% fat is about what I've heard, too. Or .3-.4 grams per pound of body weight.

Yes, almonds are a good source of healthy fat...and yes, I'm talking about your diet overall. Dietary fat is necessary for many things, including the absorption of many of the vitamins and minerals that are in your veggies.
I'm just pointing it out because a lot of people interpret "healthy" to mean fruits and veg and very little fat when in fact, dietary fat is a very essential macro-nutrient. IMO, a low fat diet is just about the worst thing one could do to their body.0 -

Unless you are getting indigestion, veggies are a great habit! If the meat is tough I am sure there are other ways you can get your protein, including powders if need be (not my preferred route, but I am a chicken-eating freak)0

What are you using to define food as healthy? Chicken isn't bad for you. There really aren't bad foods. There are foods that are more calorie or/and nutritionally dense then others, but not bad or unhealthy, especially if you are eating a well balanced diet.0
