  • Currently 124, still wanting to shed more fat to get a full six pack. It's hard to eat lower at maintenance thought! I've lost about 3-4lbs, and gained muscle definition.

  • Do all of you who believe that it's the meds that are to blame realise, that if that were true, we could solve starvation worldwide? Bam! A drug with no calories that cause you to gain weight without having to eat more! Imagine the lives that could be saved in Africa! Magic (*)

  • I generally more hungry after I started counting calories - sure I eat less, but I also eat "better" (complex carbs, protein, etc.). I think it's psychological.

  • Hey there! I just wanted to say that I did the Insanity program recently and had great results. I only skipped 2 workouts (because of a hangover, lol). I didn't have much to lose, only a few lbs, but I did it mainly to get my heart pumping and get my body moving. I aimed for an average of 1800 calories per day, including…

  • Since your profile states that you have excess weight to lose, you once ate at a surplus... So, you know what it takes: eat a little more. If you for some reason are put off by eating "big volumes" of food, just eat calorie dense foods. 50g of nuts = 280 calories 80g of condensed milk in tea or coffee - yum! = 290 calories.

  • Please understand that if what you have heard is true, world starvation would be solved by giving everyone antidepressants. Calories in vs. calories out still trumps. You may feel more hungry on Desipramine. You will have to deal with that.

    in Healthy eating kinda sucks.... Comment by retrolina January 2015
  • I haven't done BR, so can't comment on the specific program, but keep in mind that diet is the key to losing weight/fat. Cardio will burn calories, and resistance/strength training with encourage muscle growth which will change the way your body looks. I completed Insanity a couple of weeks ago and started noticing changes…

  • Thank you everyone :) I realise I am at a healthy weight, so just looking at increasing muscle/decreasing fat. But I am not in a hurry. I need to go at a pace suitable with my life so that I won't reverse it once winter comes or I get lazy again, haha :) I may up my calories once I start lifting. It'll be the first time…

  • I'm almost there as well! Originally just wanted to shed 2 kgs, but now I'm more focused on what I'm seeing in the mirror. I'm 5'9" started at 58kgs, now down to 56kgs after 6 weeks on the Insanity program (the last 4 weeks I have been counting my calories, trying to eat approx. 1800 calories per day). I think it helps to…
