Another vote for cheese yet the amount of veggies and watermelon I can eat. Lol

What exactly are your goals? I do have insanity max 30 and loved it even more than the original insanity series. There is also a 30 min version of p90x called p90x3 ..check it out. On another note there are tons of HIIT workouts on fitnessblender.Com which are free. They also have other strength and cardio workouts too

I love silk dark choc milk and it's 100 cals a glass.

Well seems like you're not taking people's advice on checking a doctor so I just want to wish you the best and hope it's just temporary

I love plain greek yogurt and always have it handy. I eat it as a snack and stir in fruit n chia seeds. I sub for mayo, add various seasonings to use as a dip and I have used it to marinade boneless skinless chicken breasts. I also buy flavored yogurts at times as well.

Start lifting. I regret not doing sooner.

My go to is veggie omelet or poached egg with hot sauce, oatmeal with cinnamon, berries, chia and flax or greek yogurt with fruit and chia

Do you have a food scale? Are you measuring your foods accurately?

Different types of beans or pulses , chopped egg, chicken or fish (tuna and salmon are my fave), carrots, water cress, beets, cabbage, parsnip, raw broc or cauliflower ...so many combos. Dressings are usually simple ...vinaigrette I prefer citrus or balsamic, greek yogurt with different seasonings ( instead of ranch ) and…

Calorie deficit is needed to lose weight. However exercise has many benefits ... do something that you enjoy as you will tend to stick to it as opposed to viewing it like a chore.

It's not intentional for me but protein is always incorporated in my meals. It does keep me full longer though.

Do a hybrid of both

in a wrap, on top of a salad, along side a sweet potato (baked / roasted / steamed), with rice & beans

When do you usually exercise?

I add lemon slices and drink chilled. Cucumber and mint leaves too is another flavour I like. Flavour is what makes me drink more.

I ate diary and would have been miserable on a keto diet. CICO worked for me ...you just needed to be disciplined and motivated

Eat back half since most times estimates are high. I estimate cals using tdee method which incorporates activity levels so I don't eat my exercise cals

I just have coffee for bfast. I eat a yogurt or fruit at about 10 am. My energy levels are fine and have lost weight on a caloric deficit. Personally for me, when I eat is not important as how much I eat.

I do have PCOS and exercise ...mix of strength training and cardio works well for me. A low carb diet is recommended as well and I did it initially but always maintained a cal deficit.

Now I want ice cold watermelon with some feta cheese and touch of mint leaves

Caribbean here

My parents are Muslims and there are always a variety of foodstuff to choose from ...fruit, veggies, baked goods instead of fried and some sort of protein. They like to drink ginger tea as well. You can choose to break your fast healthy. Prep your own meals if you need to. If you're going by others to break fast, walk with…

I only eat a big breakfast when I'm traveling for vacation or work ... because most times I have late lunch or no lunch. On regular days, coffee and some fruit an hour or two later does the trick for me.

That was me the first time I tried insanity and that was just the warm up. Lol. I persevered and if I can't do the move properly, I modified or did jumping jacks or jogged on the spot. Eventually you will be able to keep up and finish the vids. Don't give up. You can also choose to do something less intense and then…

grate it and put in salads; roast it

greek yogurt, cottage cheese, protein powder ... you can also have meat / seafood too.

Hair loss is a sign of nutritional deficiency. I had this happen to me when I was lacking iron in my diet. Aim to lose the weight slowly and make sure you're get a proper balance of nutrients.

vodka and club soda with lime wedge or splash of lime juice does the trick for me.

Another vote for weights in the gym ...cardio can be done on the non gym days at home. Tons of workouts on YouTube ...check out fitnessblender as well for HIIT workouts too. Best wishes

I usually just eat a banana 30-45 mins before. Never felt the need for the pre-workout drink tbh. Oh if i workout in mornings I drink a cup of coffee but that's routine not necessarily for pre-workout.
