Insanity Workout



Recommended Posts

I had my Lap Band done in 2008. I lost about 100 punds and got pregnant in 2010. I am sad to say that I gained most of it back durning the pregancy.

For me 2013, is the year to lose this weight once and for all. I am starting the Insanity workout program today.

The program recomments 5 small meals and total calories of 1,500 for me. I am having trouble eating this many calories...I am just not that hungry.

My question: how many calories do you eat on a exercise program? I want to "fuel my body" but am having a really hard time doing it.

Thanks for your help.

I stay around 1200 calories and have been doing cardio about 4 days a week.

I think you could go to 1200 as well.

I am unique, and have my own quirky ways of doing things.....

When I work out, I have it in my mind that I am going to use the stored fat I have as a my energy...I'm going to "Burn" that source first....

I like to exercise first thing in the morning, before I have anything to eat.....I felt if I ate before I worked out, I would be using what I just ate and nothing else....

I will take 15gm of liquid Protein, my Vitamins, omega's, etc to get my metabolism jump started.........and never had an issue with energy.....(also my morning coffee...can't leave home without it)

Then, after a good workout, my body is screaming to be fed! I want to eat a full Breakfast (if I could)...but I always felt that would defeat what I had just accomplished...so I would have a high Protein, nutritious recovery shake.......

Like I said, that's just my idiosyncrasies....but It helped me......

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
