Belly fat gain with Insanity???

smccb

I completed Turbo Fire and Advanced Turbo Fire earlier this year and was able to get down to my ideal weight. I also finally managed to get rid of that very stubborn belly fat!

But I started Insanity (I am in my fourth week) and suddenly, I have gained 5+ pounds back and some of that belly fat I had tried so hard to get rid of. The workouts seem so much harder than Turbo Fire, so I was not really expecting this to happen. Has anyone else had this experience? What would be the cause?

I am eating about the same as I did with Turbo Fire - actually probably a bit more because the workouts are so intense. I was starting to really feel tired during the day, so I thought maybe I wasn't getting enough.

I don't have an actual number of how many calories I intake every day. I am a terrible picker (lifelong habit I am struggling to break!) so it makes it hard to figure out. I would imagine I eat about 1800-2000 though. Any advice on the picking would be helpful too! :-)

Thanks in advance for any advice/information!
