If you eat kosher and/or find it hard to stay on plan over shabbat let's share support.

I just signed up for the program. They wanted me to buy all the supplements. I keep strict Glatt Kosher. Does anyone on the program know anything about the kosherus of the products. Does anyone have a list of ingredients? I emailed them and they said to go on the message board. thanks

I bought the system and G-d willing will be starting this week. I am a Torah observant Jew. I am looking for some help in finding high protein shakes or snacks. I eat Cholev Israel so OUD is out. I appreciate anyones help. Maybe a website to find the above.
Thank you
Ephraim

I'm also shomer Torah u'mitzvos, and found Kosher Protein Powder at KosherVitamins.com. Just Google "Kosher Protein Powder" and a few options come up. I also got a box of protein bars, "Action Nutrition" brand, under the heart K.

I'd like to find a suitable substitute for the "Recovery Drink" if anyone has come up with one. Not sure if Gatorade does the trick.

RE keeping to the diet plan on Shabbos, one just has to heed the portion controls under the Diet Plan in the book. Ignore the recipes, since most of them are problematic with respect to basar v'chalav, triefos, other ma'acholos asuros. Instead of starchy, MSG laden gefilte fish, a 3 oz piece of salmon is fine. 3 oz. piece of chicken breast, appropriate portions of cooked and raw vegetables, and fruit instead of cake.

For the kiddush club after davening, I've got no eitzah. Just enjoy the single malt scotch and herring, and be somech on the idea that "Shabbos calories don't count." That should be the worst of our holy vices!

In regards to Shabbos food: like the Rambam says, everything in moderation. So for on Shabbos, I drink less than I used to (although it depends on the week) and don't really eat anything at kiddush, I also make sure that I am able to eat something before I go to shul in the AM... this means getting up exceptionally early

My focus on diet while doing Insanity is to ensure that I get the appropriate amount of calories in the suggested amounts of food types (protein, Carbs, fats) in as close to five meals a day. So far, I'm batting around 80% on the volume of calories and 30% on the number of meals.

Good luck and keep pushin'

Re: Yoni did you say snack bars are NOT kosher ? i saw it has OuD on the bars...pls clarify

Most snack bars and nutrition bars do say if they are kosher or not.

But also keep in mind that just because it says kosher on it that doesn't mean it is kosher. Hebrew naitonal has the kosher sign on it but it is no longer kosher and has not been for sometime.

There are a lot of kosher foods out there with out the various kosher signs. Just look up the ingredients and research a bit online.

I agree with what you wrote there are other options, also keep in mind that you can substitute a meat product with a fish or vegan product in your diet plan. It's hard but can be done Tony Horton himself is a vegetarian. But then again he has a nutritionist and cook preparing and portioning his food for him. To be successful at this you would need to get a good nutritionist who can help you make a vegan diet menu following the P90X numbers. Then on one of your free days like a Sunday unless you are living in Israel. You will do your shopping and your meal prep for the whole week. putting everything in it's proper containers and bags for the week. So you can grab and go a meal. This is how it works.
As for the Shabbas Calories Cholent can be made healthy I've done it. Just keep in mind how much you are eating my Shabbas cakes or cookies are healthy ones. Just don't do what my inlaws do they say calories on Shabbat and holidays don't count, well they do if you are exaggerating it. My husband says I need to eat at the Kiddish meal because it's a blessing for the person hosting it. I agree BUT don't take a large plate and fill it up knowing you will be going home to eat again with your family and guest. Eat a little bit of one or two things try to include vegetables and fruit in it.

Good luck I know it can be done!
