    Thank you all for responding great advice! Do u all think I should up my calories to 1200?

    Insanity recommends at least 1800 cals

    1200 calories probably isn't enough. It's on the low end for females as it is, let alone while doing Insanity.

    Was just going to link that, even 1200 is to low for Insanity. I would be starving. :sad:

    I net 1800 and am still hungry doing insanity!

    girl you should be eating 1200 or more before you even account for the exercise...then you need to add on.

    you are already creating a deficit by going that low in the first place

    do it right.



    eat right
    work hard
    rinse
    repeat

    I was up to 2052 (or around there) but it felt like to much food so I downed it to 1843. Much better. I'm not hungry and I haven't missed a day. I feel if I eat less then that I would be too weak to keep it up.

    I should of mentioned this frm the beginning.... The reason I do 1000 calories is because the Dr I am seeing gave me an hcg injection w vitamin b12 I will be doing this for 6weeks and he told me that along w eating 1000 calories I need to burn 500 of them. Does this make sense?? Or should I still up my calories based on this information. I appologize if I didn't explain this frm the very beginning :ohwell: And I am taking every comment on here in consideration I'm here to learn so I thank each and every one of you :flowerforyou:

    I would suggest a new Dr. I am a nurse and talk with Drs and dietitians about nutrition a lot.
    I agree with the other posters that 1000 or even 1200 cals a day isn't enough. I am very active and eat about 1500/day. I can't imagine a Dr suggesting that for weightloss. I have successfully lost 70lbs eating right and exercising. Nothing drastic ever. Good luck!!

    You should not even be taking HCG with only 40 lbs to lose. You need to avoid this doctor, period.

    First, you are not gaining muscle.

    Second, you should be going by inches lost, not pounds.

    Third, you will not lose weight like you want by eating only 1000 calories per day. Work out your TDEE with an online calculator and subtract 20% for fat loss, then eat back your exercise calories. Insanity is an extremely demanding program. I have done it, and I lost weight on it eating around 1500 cals a day, NET.

    Ditto.

    Honestly hunnie, you don't look like you have much to lose. If I was you, I would calculate my TDEE based on the fact that I was doing a vigerous workout every day, and then take 10% off. When you don't have too much to lose you need to eat close to TDEE and let the lbs shift in their own time.

    If you eat at TDEE - 10% you will lose weight and have the energy to do your Insanity workout. It might take a little while to lose the weight, but you will look great. And if you are eating that many calories you certainly don't need any HCG shots. Good luck, you can do it! x

    1000 cal, are you 4 foot something?

    That is a great question.

    you are losing inched because you are toning and gaining muscle! muscle weighs more than fat, so do NOT give up. pretty soon you will see both lbs and inches!

    The insanity program book tells you how much calories you should eat during the program, I would go by that (honestly its probably more than 1200). Also when I did the program I only lost about 5 pounds over the whole two months but lost a lot of inches. I would highly recommend taking measurements. Insanity is a high intensity cardio program so if you aren't fueling your body properly you aren't going to see good results and could possibly injure yourself.

    Not trying to pimp myself out here.. but look at my thread. I talk about my experiences on HCG, low calories and how I now know better. I learned the hard way. My pics will prove to you that scale weight isn't always the best way to judge progress.

    it is refreshing to see someone actually open to hearing what people have to say instead of getting angry and defiant.

    lifting 3 days, eating, and some cardio on the days i dont lift... no pregnant lady pee or starving necessary.

    I think the answer is do the measurements. I didnt and I spent a week of eating less than my 1200 calories and still weigh the same so i know how you feel. I had a night off the diet yesterday because i was so fed up. But next week will start afresh and will try and do more exercise to burn off some bloody fat.:happy:
