    Abs are 110% made in the kitchen so be aware of what you are putting in your body. Also if you're just doing insanity you may want to incorporate weights and muscle strengthening exercises. Buy a set of dumb bells and do lunges across the house, squats are great, bicep curls, curl squat press all of these exercise with help you get stronger and feel tighter. :)

    Calorie Deficit + Adequate Protein + Strength Training = The Truth

    I'm eating pretty clean.

    This is irrelevant and has no effect on your body composition.

    What do you mean ?

    I mean that the only thing that matters in terms of what you eat and your body composition is your calorie balance (calorie deficit, calorie surplus, etc.), as well as protein intake. Whether the foods you are eating are "clean" or not has no effect on your body composition (skeletal muscle mass, body fat mass)

    He means its all about the amount of calories you consume.
