Hello everyone my insanity is on its way. Just a few questions on food/nutrition. can you really eat the calories he says to and not gain 400 lbs?
I only eat about 1000 right now, will that enough? I am looking to loose about 15 lbs. thanks for input!

    I dunno. I always use my HRM when I do Insanity. I try to eat back as much of my exercise calories back plus my allotted calories. I try to keep net calories at the max amount I can without going over. It has worked. Lost about15 inches all around. Best of luck to you.
  • 1000 is way too low. You should figure out your BMR, eat that as a minimum, and then eat back your exercise calories. Otherwise, you will not have the energy for the workouts and may even get sick or gain weight due to starvation mode.
