I have recently started doing insanity and in the past week I have noticed a 3 ound sudden weight gain even though I have been eating clean. Could somebosy help me in understanding this. Does this happen with the workout? Is this the muscles responding?
If so, I hope I am not expecting too much weight comming back. I want to loose weight and look lean.

Please help! Thanx

    I am finishing up week 1 and from what I've read some people don't lose any weight until the 2nd month. Don't freak about not losing anything. Stay with it and the weight will start to come off!


    Here's the link to an Insanity forum. It's a great place to go for support and questions.

    Dont worry about it, i had the same thing happen to me when i started insanity. I was gaining weight but i had been sedentary for so long that i was building muscle. After a 2-3 weeks, i started losing 2 lbs a week steady until the end. On some weeks i regained a couple of lbs (i cheated with dessert :P~ ) but i lost them again.

    When i completed insanity, i lost a total of 12.5 lbs (while gaining muscle) and lost 2 pants size. It really works as long as you eat ENOUGH CALORIES. That was my problem, i was below the amount of required calories everyday (i was supposed to eat around 2700 calories but i was eating 2000-2200) and i didnt get extreme results because of this. The last 2 weeks were also very hard because i had no juice, it was probably the lack of calories/fuel accumulated since the beginning that showed up.

    If you follow the daily calorie intake & eat healthy, just keep going and give your maximum and you WILL have results for sure :)
