  • Are you allowed drinks at the desk? then you could have a smoothie or protein shake.
  • I went to an all inclusive in mexico for two weeks. I ate whatever I wanted and didn't workout, although I was always on the go while there. I gained 4 pounds. It is a month today I got back and I am back to the weight I was before I left. If you're prepared to put in the work when you get back its amazing how quickly you…
  • might not be accurate but what i would do is this. if I did half the work out i'd eat only half the excercise calories back that i normally eat doing insanity. If you feel like you did 3/4 the workout then eat 3/4 of your normal exercise calories back. Just look at the last three weeks to get an idea of how much you've…
  • I would choose to go to a restaurant that had nutritional info over one that didnt. Not every restaurant should have to but what a great marketing tool for a resturant to set themselves apart from the rest.
  • I'm doing round two of P90x ( substituting all cardio for turbo fire though). Getting great results using MFPs formula. I use my hrm and just add calories burned to my base calorie amount and thats how much I eat. I try to keep my macros in check to make sure I get enough protein. fat is melting off and muscles are getting…
  • When I eat alot of veges I get bloated. I think its because it gives me gas. Beans and greek yogurt do this for me too.

  • Loved Turbo fire and dropped weight for sure but didn`t really tone up much with it. I now combine it with the P90x strength dvds and get awesome results. Alot of people are having success combing it with chalean. i did insanity also and got great results.
  • I've mixed in P90x with other dvd workouts and the gym. I just made sure I never worked the same muscle groups 2 days in a row. Had awesome results doing this

  • 2 boiled eggs, 50g smoked salmon, 1/4 cup cottage cheese. Super yummy
  • Before my hrm if I used a treadmill or eliptical I log my active rest and sprint separatley. 10 mins level 10, 10 mins at level 5. Remember one of the benefits of HIIT is that you burn more calories during the next 12-48hrs depending on intensity of the workout. I read somewhere that the maximum number of calories from…
  • Some rice cakes can contain alot of sodium and that may cause you you retain water. Depends how many you are eating
  • I'm doing my last week and I've gained four pounds. Lost 1/2 inch on waist and hips. Lost 1 inch on thighs. I'm eating maintenence calories.
  • Hi. I am just on day two of month two and when I first started insanity i gained 4 pounds by the end of two weeks and my measurements stayed the same. Now i am losing weight and I'm back to my original weight need to measure again but feel /hope that i will continue to lose from now on. From different posts I've read it…

  • I follow the nutrition plan for the most part. what I've found is that some brands of food have more calories than others. Example whole wheat bread, some slices are 100 and some are 140. A whole wheat tortilla full size is 200 cals but the 6 inch ones are100. What i do is log the meals before I make them and then tweak…
  • P90x is great for changing your body composition but i added in a little extra cardio because i was trying to lose weight . Turbo fire is an amesome calorie burner but all cardio and not much resistance/strength training. I was combining the two for awhile and that worked really well for me. Half way through insanity now…

  • I boil 1/3 cup oatmeal with water and stir in the vanilla protein after with one tablespoon chopped walnuts and /or 1/2 cup berries. Its my favourite breakfast very filling and 300 cals.
  • Just finished first week. Its hard work and I'm loving it. Didn't want to take a day of rest but made myself.
  • I print off photos of what I want my body to look like and tape it on the fridge and cupboards. That way I have to look at them as I'm pulling that snack out and decide what I want more. That cookie or that body.
  • I tried to go as fast a possible and didn't pay enough attention to my form and sprained my ankle. I will be starting agin Dec 1st but will be more careful this time around.
  • Copied this from an article on fitday. Agave nectar vs Honey The agave nectar is about 1.5 times sweeter than honey. Furthermore, it has a wide variety of flavors, which makes it a suitable additive for most foods. In addition, the nectar does not impact the nutritional balance of food. Agave nectar is a plant product,…
  • Heres what I do. I have 250 calorie deficit a day. over 6 days thats 1500 so on day 7 I can have a cheat day and eat between 200-400 more calories that day and still have a deficit of 1100-1300 that week. That way I'm not gaining and can enjoy my cheat day guilt free.
  • Turbo fire is alot of punching and kicking with drills that include plyometrics. Its a little dancy but so much more than just that. There are resistance work outs that you do a few times a week using bands. I actually found the resistace part to easy so I did my own. Overall it is a great cardio workout and it will get…
