Becoming Toned With the Insanity Cardio Program

At the end of each week that I had done the Insanity work out DVD, I had measured around my calves, thighs, hips, waist and arms.

I wanted to measure every factor, to see if I was losing any weight and fat. And, if I was, I wanted to know at what rate the fat and pounds were shedding. I also took before and after pictures so I could compare and visually see if this work out DVD was living up to its claims.

It is definitely a mental boost to see that the numbers are shrinking everywhere, but it is also the opposite if you are trying to gauge this every single day. The change is way too subtle overnight, so you don't want to become consumed with analyzing each day.

It took about three to four weeks before I could see that within 30 days I already lost a good amount of fat. I could see that each week showed some steady but small progress, and I kept showing up to the TV each day with a different Insanity DVD.

I didn't fill in my jeans anymore, and they became too big and loose for me. I got so hungry all the time because my body needed so much energy as it was burning calories throughout the day. If I didn't eat something within two hours, my entire body would became angry and growl fiercely.

I'm so glad that I didn't have to think too hard about what I could eat because Insanity came with a nutrition plan book! Loads of choices, loads of recipes and substitutes, and no thinking on my part. I had so much to follow for all of the 5-6 meals I needed to feed myself each day.

That's what I love so much about this work out DVD program--it encouraged a balanced nutrition by actually providing a whole section of materials on it. Visual materials that took away the hard thinking process of what I needed to do to eat right.

I'm happy to use this nutrition guide. Not only because everything was so tasty, but because there were whole grain carbs in many of the meals. The guys making this entire program knew their nutrition facts well, and didn't promote any fad diet. Just a proper meal with the right balance of healthy carbs, proteins and fats. No gimmicks. Just proper fuel.

I got to enjoy so many veggie and egg-white omelettes with whole grain toast, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with cottage cheese, shrimp pastas. Yum.
