Increasing protein but still hungry
I've recently started increasing my protein intake and cutting back on the carbs but I've found that I'm actually hungrier since doing this than I was before when I used to eat mainly carbs. I even started having appetite suppressents a few days ago, but that's not having any effect. I've tried drinking more water (well…

Sore Calf
I'm currently doing T25 and after nearly a week off (cos I had injured my knee), I started week 4 today. I did one of the cardio programmes 2 days ago to get me back into it (which i had no problems with), but this morning I'd only been doing it for nearly 10 mins and I got really bad pain in my right calf. I stopped and…

Nuts
I've read on here that nuts are a good source of protein. Please could you advise me on which ones are probably best for this, along with the nicest tasting. My favourites are pistachios and peanuts, but haven't come across any yet that are plain - except for peanuts when they are covered in chocolate instead of salt.…

Forgot to log exercise
What do you do if you forget to log your exercise for the day and it caused you to go over your allowance? Would you add it to another day's, or just write it off? It hasn't actually happened, but for some reason I was thinking about it earlier.

Just Curious
Hi, I've started 2 challenges, one where you weigh in on a Thursday and another where you weigh in on a Saturday. When I weighed in on the Thursday scales showed I'd lost .75lbs (or 3/4lb?) and on Saturday showed 1.1lbs (or 1 1/2 lbs?) Sorry if this isn't right, it's just that I'm used to working in stones and lbs. I've…

How do you log cardio recovery?
I was wondering how people tend to log the Insanity Cardio Recovery dvd? Also for when I get round to doing it - how do I log Max recovery dvd? Thank you.

You know that feeling....?
...... when you have just set out on a new exercise and healthy eating routine and less than a week in the motivation starts to wane and all you want to do is just go to bed and sleep and sleep and sleep cos you have no energy? That's how I'm feeling at the moment. :yawn: Even the fact that we've booked our work Christmas…

Help - too many calories left!
I've burnt quite a few calories today and despite having not had my evening meal yet, I have had a couple of snacks, but I still have over 1000 calories left to eat! If I eat a healthy dinner (with veg) then I'm not going to be anywhere near that amount, but don't want to have to force myself to eat either. Any advice?

Protein shakes
I don't know if this has been covered before - and apologies if it has been recently - but I've heard that protein shakes (ie Shakeology) can be expensive and wondered if there is another - cheaper - option of having a protein fix after a workout? Some dvds more or less insist that you will benefit more if you have one…

How to log ....
I know this question has probably been asked loads of times, but how do you log Insanity, P90X etc and the other dvds that Shaun T has done (mainly Insanity as doing that at the moment)? I've only done the fitness test so far and put it down as high impact aerobics but not sure that's correct. I have got a HRM, but it…

Calorie Deficit
Hi. I'm aware that to lose fat you need to have a calorie deficit, however I was wondering if this is to be below daily calorie allowance ie 1200, or as it can increase if you exercise, is it to be under that figure? I tend to stick to my allowance and don't usually exercise so that I can eat more - unless I'm going out…

Insanity
I saw an advert earlier for Insanity which showed amazing body transformations after 60 days, however it said that no weights were used. I was just wondering how they could've changed their bodies so much without using weights as many people advise to use them to help tone up? Have many of you who use the dvds noticed a…

Exercise - does painting count?
Hiya. Yesterday I spent 2 1/2 hrs painting, which obviously included lots of bending and stretching, can I class this as exercise and if so, how do I log it? Thanks

I've been really good with my food choices all week, got my motivation back regarding exercise, then my ex-husband to be throws a spanner in the works. There is a leaving do going on with work tonight as one of my work colleagues is emigrating to…

Insanity vs 30 Day Shred
I've read a lot of posts where Insanity is mentioned as part of people's workout routine. When reading reviews on both, they both say how good they are at getting results and that they're the 'must have' dvd. If you are already eating a healthy diet (therefore may not need the diet plan included with Insanity), from an…

How to I log it?
Hi, I'm going to be stripping wallpaper off 3 walls this week and it's not going to be easy, but I was wondering how to log it down. Obviously I'll be able to time how long it takes, but it's going to involve going up and down ladders and hard work with the scraper when it doesn't come off easily and know from previous…
