JohnnyT Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Over the past 2 months, my wife and I have lost 18 and 17 lbs respectively. In addition to all the activities we do, we have started the INSANITY workout program. Is anybody out there doing this program? If so, what is your diet opposed to what they are recommending? We are on day 29 of our Whole 30 at this point. Thanks folks. JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZone Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I was actually wondering the same thing! I follow a P90X/Insanity hybrid and I know so many people say they notice an increase in strength following this nutritional approach.....but, Honestly I'm feeling a bit fatigued. I have either a sweet potato, acorn squash or fruit at each of my 3 meals....plus, I usually have a hard boiled egg and squash or sweet potato post workout....But, i'm still feeling less strong... I would love suggestions! Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyT Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 After reading up on some of the Insanity Meal Planning, there are some similarities, protein and such....BUT, I really think I need to up my complex carbs while I doing Insanity. The Whole30 was great for what it is......we finished and feel great, but now with this ULTRA STRENUOUS program, protein and complex carbs are needed in higher amounts. Insanity is not yoga. Check out the Meal Planning on http://www.teambeachbody.com/home. Great tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derval Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 You can still do whole30 and up your starchy carbs, portion sizes etc to whatever is required for whatever workout your doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZone Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I agree w/upping your carbs....gauge your energy levels when you eat sweet potatoes / starchy root veggies etc vs. grain/complex carbs....you might be able to see a noticeable difference! How far into Insanity are you ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyT Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 This is my first week with Insanity. I also do a lot of mountain climbing......and my energy/intensity/lasting levels definitely dropped while on Whole 30... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
