+ I'm not sure if any of the Insanity workouts is any good for you regarding your knee? I've read before that perfectly healthy people get knee aches because there's a lot of jumping and stress on the joints involved. I think it would be better to build up those muscles there in an other way first, with more locally…

I suggest you read the Asylum Nutrition Guide.. It's there for a reason. Heavy exercise like this asks for more than 1200 kcal.

Hasfit.com has a lot of different workouts, cardio, strength, endurance, focused on certain muscle groups or full-body.. You should check out the site and see what suits your goals best. They have loose videos or a few fitness programs to follow. On top of that, nutrition plans are also to be found.

You are assuming as you do not know what others think. You seem to have a self-destructive view on your own body. Realize that people are very self-centered. You worry about how other think you look- They don't really care. Because while you are worrying about your own insecurities, they are too busy worrying about their…

Are you talking about veggies only? I know that legumes such as soy, beans, lentils, peanuts and peas do cause bloating for me. If you're also eating legumes, perhaps try cutting them out, see what happens. Maybe you're just eating TOO much vegetables though.. What is 'a lot'. You still need other foods and different…

I would advice against almond milk. It's basically very expensive water. It contains the protein of only a few almonds. If you're sensitive to gluten, avoid soy and dairy. Due to the processing of soy and milk, the body of someone who is already sensitive to gluten, might react in the same way. Meaning that, if the milk is…

Again referring to this post, the answer is simple and clear. However, if you care about that, it's shown that most grains in bread are heavily genetically modified. I believe this is part of the reason why people generalized bread to be 'unhealthy'. This is not a problem at all, although many people get discomfort or…

Thank you for being the first to actually get the point. You're right, there's no way to figure. The best thing is to probably add all of it in anyway. Though when macros matter, it can give an unreal perspective of consumed fats.. ..Nothing to do about it. Thank you.

Not sure about 2 litres of water. We need about 2 litres of FLUID, that means it includes all the 'water' that's coming from your food. Judging by your weight you're most likely not that tall. Eating around 1200 is the lowest limit a person could go to still be able to have a sufficient intake of all needed vitamins,…

Yep. I'm in the 2nd week of Month 2. (7th week) Certainly seeing results regarding increased muscle mass and more defined muscle. By the last week of Month 1 I did pretty much the whole workout, without needing any rests, although pushing it to the limit. Every new week I saw improvement in performance; The time where I…

I'd like to get back on what @Nexstar3 stated; DID YOU KNOW? In Rural Cambodia people use a lightweight iron ingot, they simply throw it in their pot when cooking soup or boiling water. The ingot was designed to supply iron at a slow, steady rate. More than 75% of daily iron requirements can be met with regular use. It's…

My father used to have a too high cholesterol. Along with cutting out more processed fats and meats out of his diet, he supplemented with Chia seeds and Goji berries. Chia Seeds Studies are hinting towards the idea that chia seeds lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and increase HDL cholesterol. Goji Berries…

Insanity™.. In week 2 of Month 2. I used to do Insanity before, years ago, but only made it through the first month. The second month kicks *kitten*! Good lord, if I'm doing the month 1 exercises now, no matter how hard I push, it's -Easy-. It doesn't bust my buttocks even half as much anymore. The exercises of month two…

INSANITY™ ALL THE WAY!

To me, they're neither a discouragement, neither an inspiration. Having pictures of what community PERCEIVES as 'perfect' as an inspiration, to me, sounds like a setup for disappointment. I don't see the point. ~ [SIDENOTE] "Perfect" is overrated. Humans keep believing that "Nobody is perfect". I'm telling you, everyone is…

This explains way better than any of my words could say. I've read about it before and recognize it in some of my male friends. Being relatively young however, this behaviour seems to be believed to be the norm, at least in my country/city/region, by both women and men. Anyone thinking differently would often be confronted…

Nice tips for beginners! How about keeping your hands relaxed though? Not stretching the fingers or balling them, but to touch two fingers as if holding a chip, to conserve energy. Also, to not twist the torse while running, but to keep the core tight instead. Many beginners twist their core and keep the arms tight to…

"Just as bad as no shoes.." Altho no shoes doesn't necessarily have to be bad. Barefooting, it's a thing, or barefoot shoes, to still provide much needed protection while running. It teaches your body the correct running form again, instead of the famous 'heel'-striking which sends shocks through the ankles, knees, hips…

Mean.. I can see it in your eyes.. I can see right through your soul.. humhum.

Your smile is very loveable.. You're looking incredible, congrats!

I used to have a Fitbit Charge HR that I used daily. Comparing heartrate and calorie burn, the Charge HR, in my experience, seems to slightly overestimate low-intensity exercise calorie burn (such as walking), altho I feel it's pretty close. Athough, one important thing I'm quite certain of; it UNDERESTIMATES…

I'll try out the things you've just suggested. As for lowering my intake until weight stays stable, what dropping margin are we talking about? You talked about creatin earlier, would it be of any use to add that supplementary (at this stage)? Would you mind if I keep contacting you as time passes and I'm trying out your…

For some reason it double-posted my comment. As it seems to not be possible to remove a comment, I'm clarifying this useless edited post..

Thanks for taking your time to actually analyze my situation and give useful information. To clarify, the testosterone is about cross-sex hormone treatment. What would your advice be on lowering body fat then? If looking at the OP, that would be simply creating a calorie deficit while remaining to do the same exercise?…

The only thing I've changed since March (When I weighed 59 kg) is nutrition. Hormone replacement therapy started in February, which is simply a 1g Testosterone injection every 3 months. I'm still doing the same HIIT workout in the same frequency. It lasts about 45-60 minutes, burning around 400-500 kcal. Working out 6 days…

I suppose those two you stated. I can't say, 4 kilo of muscle would sound ridiculous in 5 weeks, however I wouldn't know what to think as I am in the middle of hormone replacement therapy as well. It's confusing because, as you said, 19.7% of 59 is about the same as 17.7% of 63. So if my fat mass in kg stayed the same,…
