fruit, greek yogurt, granola bar, hard boiled or poached egg, deli slice of meat wrapped around cheese, carrot or jalapeno, cottage cheese ( usually add fruit or spicy salsa)

I believe so. Steamed sweet potato, broccoli and grilled salmon ...with a generous splash of hot sauce!

I love it and Sagi is so funny. I don't care for his cardio workouts so I swap those for an Insanity or fitness blender cardio workout. I love how basic yet effective his program is.

I like cabbage soup but no way am I going to eat it daily. CICO works for me

No. What is it?

Count calories and eat smaller amounts of what you usually eat. As long as you're in a deficit, you will lose weight. Exercise makes you fit but not mandatory for weight loss

I never really count cals when I am on vacation simply because we do soooo much walking. I actually lost weight in Vegas and we had free buffet every day that week. I must day we only ate two meals a day and bf and I are not big on grazing on snacks. Nevertheless ...I don't worry about it as I am back to my normal routine…

I never had weight issues till closer to 30 and I was simply eating too much. I do wish I started strength training earlier though.

I do a mix of Body Beast for lifting and cardio ( Insanity, Insanity max, fitnessblender.com, T25 )

I have no idea what that entails. I stuck to the old fashioned CICO plan and have been maintaining since.

I just saw pics watching bbc news ..it is scary. Stay safe with your loved ones. I hope it simmers down soon

Usually just a cup of coffee & multivitamin. I actually eat something at around 10am and it is either greek yogurt, hard boiled egg, oatmeal with chia and cinnamon, smoothie, cottage cheese with fruit / veggies

omg ..that looks delicious.

Well my smoothies aren't so calorific but it was primarily spinach, frozen fruit chunks (peach, pine, mango, berries), water, flaxseed ...sometimes I add yogurt and chia seeds too. To make yours calorific ...maybe add calorie dense stuff: peanut butter, avocado, full fat greek yogurt

Agreed, I actually have a copy of her workout and nutrition plan but yet to read it. Lol

Wear comfy shoes, you do a ton of walking. I actually lost a couple lbs when I went the last time. I drank a lot more water so I guess meal time I wasn't as hungry as I thought I would be. Enjoy the food and desserts though ... and you can check out the various menus online.

Will be 34 this Friday

Calculate your tdee on iifym.com so you can have an idea on cals

Agreed, if you are breastfeeding you should add at least 300 calories.

Modify if needed and ensure form over speed. A lot of ppl get injured with insanity because they are trying to keep up. I remember the first time I did insanity, I couldn't even do the warm up properly. Lol. Now I can do a video start to finish. Insanity max 30 actually has a modifier which is a great idea. I would admit…

Are you actually eating at a calorie deficit? Using food scales to measure your food? Your snacks, sensible snacks and cheat days can have you going over unfortunately.

Depends ...if I am lifting ...I ensure my form is correct and focus on the muscle being worked ...for cardio / HIIT workouts it varies from pushing through to that very last second to being happy it's over. Lol

I'm 5'4 and weigh 113 - 115 lbs most days. Jillian Michaels workouts used to be about 350 cals max on my hrm and I had to be giving it my all.

if you want to lose weight, you still need to maintain a calorie deficit. how do you know you're averaging 1000 cals for exercise a day?

Ironically, I looked my best during my divorce. I invested my spare time in a new hobby which happened to be kayaking. I also worked out a lot more. I used all my spent energy into working out ..it was therapeutic. Find something to distract yourself. As previous poster indicated, eating is a temporary fix.

Honestly I wished I started lifting sooner ...really transformed my body. My other fave is HIIT.

My condolences for your loss. Don't worry, it's just one day and you seem to have a great track record in maintaining your routine. Life will always get in the way and we need to find a way to juggle our busy and sometimes stressful routines and still find time to eat properly and workout. I think you're doing fantastic…

Sounds like a delightful protein packed meal!

Stuffed chicken breast, roasted sweet potatoes and some asparagus. ...or you can order a pizza like I am doing .

Body beast bulk Legs and 16 min HIIT - completed and still drinking water 45 mins later. Lol
