How come no one goes on about fromage frais?
I see everyone eating greek yoghurt but no one eating plain fromage frais, why? Fromage frais has less calories and more protein than most of the greek yogurts in my supermarket except the very expensive ones.

Ketosis
The idea of ketosis is quite interesting to me, I don't want to loose weight but I do want to reduce my bf%. From what I've been reading ketosis can help me do this. Now I am slightly worried about exercise, I like to run, not major distances but a few miles. Will this be safe on a ketosis diet? I don't want to make myself…

Low carb, do I need to take a vitamin?
I hate synthetic and artificial stuff, taking a vitamin seems totally wrong to me when there's less chemicals in my shampoo than these pills. I am aware however that keto is restrictive on fruit and veg so am worried I'm not getting everything I need, is there a more natural way to ensure I get all my vitamins?

The idea of ketosis is quite interesting to me, I don't want to loose weight but I do want to reduce my bf%. From what I've been reading ketosis can help me do this. Someone not he main board has said that I will only burn the fat I eat though and not my bf, is that true? Now I am slightly worried about exercise, I like to…

Macros for insanity?
Am I right in thinking they're 40:40:20? I've used the formula in the nutrition guide for my calories and set my macros but almost 200g of protein a day seems an awful lot to aim for :/
-
Cravings, do you listen to your body?
Hear me out! When I eat whatever I want (including cakes, sweets, fatty foods etc) I never eat if m not hungry and I've never gained much weight, maybe a few pounds but that could be put down to what time of the month it is for me. Anyway I decided to cut out the crap, I'm doing insanity and want to fuel myself the best I…

Do you use butter or margarine?
I can't bring myself to eat margarine for a whole host of reasons, even though butter has more fat and calories I still believe its much better for me than margarine. What does everyone else use?

How many calls is your breakfast?
I found an awesome recepie for granola and decided to make some, however I added up the calories this morning and a small bowl with milk comes in at a whopping 700cals! I expected it to be high as its very nut heavy but still, 700cal seems like a crazy amount for breakfast. I'm really full however, and can see it easily…

Insanity: break before day 7
I've just done day 2 and I was already sore to begin with, if I remember rightly last time I just could not do day 3 at all because I was so sore! Did anyone else need a rest day before the allocated day 7 rest day?

Coconut oil
Before I post PLEASE behave! I've just ordered some mainly for beauty use but I notice its also cooking grade so was wondering how to use it and what the benefits are of using it over say olive oil or vegetable oil (if any). Thank you!

Can you drink and still loose body fat?
Does alcohol affect your BF %? I get the whole eating clean thing but if I'm so strict with my food it would be nice to still be able to get wasted every now and again! No 'drinking is bad for your liver' etc speeches please, I know that but hey, I'm young.

INSANITY, how soon for results?
Those who have done the program how far in were you when you noticed a difference in your body?

INSANITY help please!
I'm on day 2 of insanity and I am SORE! Like legs are so stiff, struggle to get up the stairs, I'm dreading tomorrows session. Is it normal to be so sore? I'm meant to just push through? Also I've been getting headaches, I've drank nearly 2L of water today but it's still not gone. I've been taking ideas from the diet plan…

Are all protein shakes equal?
I see all these different types of protein shakes, whey, casein etc. Isn't protein just protein!? If not, what's the difference, give me an idiots guide please :) My BF is convinced we can't drink the same shake, we're both wanting to build muscle though and I get the feeling his gym owner will just try and talk him into…

Insanity and protein
I'm starting Insanity on Monday, according to the insanity calorie calculation I'll need 2400 cals a day (60kg, 5ft4, will be very active) now while that all seems ok the macros of 40:40:20 have given me a daily goal of 260g of protein. It seems like soooooo much! I was under the impression you're supposed to have 1g per…

Scales that measure body fat/water %
Are these accurate or do they just estimate based on your stats? I got some the other day and you program in your sex, age and height before weighing so more accurate than just a simple number I suppose but still, can this number be trusted or do I need to get the body fat calipers out again?

Are you the main cook in the house?
If you're the main cook, does everyone in the family get the same as you to eat or do you make them something different? My new healthy eating kick hasn't been met with a very warm reception, my OH wants his pie and chips back and my toddler isn't keen on all this green stuff I'm giving her. I've been trying to do a bit of…

Insanity food help
Me and some friends are starting insanity soon but we're all at college 3 days a week, we get free food from college canteen but it's not great stuff. At 'meal 2' time options would be toast, bagel, egg (fried), grilled bacon, sausages, beans, mushrooms, cheese on toast, fruit, cereal pots (rice crispies, cherios) possibly…
