Insanity & nutrition guide

I was given the Insanity Workout as a gift, but never received the nutrition guide. I didn't let that stop me, because I was determined, so I thought. I've tried doing the Insanity Workout a few times, but never made it past the first week. I didn't have a meal plan to follow. I guess that's why I stopped. I am now trying the workout again with a meal plan from another workout program. I hope that I will receive the same results as the meal plan provided from the Insanity Workout plan. The meal plan that I follow comes with 5 meals a day. (3 meals and 2 snacks). Would you recommend that I continue using the meal plan?

I think that in a lot of cases the food plan is geared toward people who are overweight or simply have bad food habits. I think like someone else pointed out if you use a heart rate monitor, pay attention to your work outs and eat well then you are fine without it. But if you want to follow it nothing to lose. I have never been overweight but then again I always cook and always have and I dont eat junk food save the occasional and rare post beer street meat etc. Once in a while wont kill you. Like anything common sense is your judge. But also if you are in a habit of over eating, that is a different challenge so maybe a glass of water first to fill you a bit will work. I think its important to do the workouts consistently and step away from the scale and dont obsess. its not the meal plan that gets you results, its learning to eat cleaner. And the exercising. Hope that helps.
