    I have been doing it for app. 6 weeks with my fiancee and neither one of us had lost a pound?? I have adrenal failure that I am taking supplements for so am not really surprised by my lack of loss, but thought for sure he would have some loss. We warm up for about 3 minutes and then do 3- 30 second intervals where our heart rates elevate to 160-180, then rest. Any suggestions, maybe more time on the tread mill walking?

    Have you taken measurements? With the Insanity workout (HIIT as well) I gained 2 lbs in 4 weeks but had lost 5 inches in just my waist/hips I'd stay away from the scale.

    Weight loss is 80% plus diet, 20% exercise. Weight loss happens in the kitchen, fitness happens in the gym. I do 30% carbs, but for now try...

    40% carbs
    30% protein
    30% fat

    Never go above 40% carbs

    If you are going from the settings here is 55% carbs, which is too high.

    Home, goals, change goals, custom...

    Hope that helps!

    I think it depends on where your carbs are comming from, carbs= fuel, I eat whole carbs like fruits, and whole grains etc, mine is set at 75% and I still lose weight.
