Hi all,
I am 5"1' and 70kg and 22 years old. clearly i am over weight so i started off with insanity on Dec 27 2012. It been 4 weeks i've been engaged in this craziness. Ever since the first day i have never dropped a single kilo from the recorded weight however i could see some changes in waist. I could now wear my old clothes. I used to wear XL before, now i am down to L and almost fitting for Medium size shirt.I couldn't follow the diet as per the recipes provided in the nutritional guide. However, i used to eat 5 times a day and here is what i eat regularly in a 24hrs and please do suggest me if there is anything i am doing wrong.

Meal 1 (6AM) : Oats
Meal 2 (9AM) : 2 slice whole meal bread + 1 tbsp peanut butter
Meal 3 (12PM/1PM) : 1 Cucumber sliced + 2 lettuce leaves + 1 Apple + 1 pc grilled chicken
Meal 4 (4PM) : 2 slice whole meal bread + 1 tbsp peanut butter + 1 Banana
Insanity at 8PM
Meal 5 : 1/2 to 1 cup brown rice + 1 pc grilled chicken + Corn nibblets + green peas

Majorly i want to loose my embarrassing & irritating love handles and moobies.

Any suggestions or opinions to get my results are appreciated. Thanks!

thank you for you response elizgomez...i have added you. your assistance is much appreciated

I would also add that it looks like you may have too many processed carbs (bread) and not enough protein or fat.

I might think about swapping out one of those bread servings for a sweet potato, which packs much more nutritional punch. I'd also think about adding some plain yogurt with berries to your breakfast and drizzling some olive oil over your veggies at dinner.

That would increase your calories and improve your nutritional profile.

I would recommend adding fresh fruit and vegetables to your meals. The fresh veggies will add bulk to your diet without adding calories. They also are packed with needed nutrients. Try limiting the bread to once a day and replace with veggies and hummus or apple and peanut butter.

I've read it's also more beneficial to work out in the morning if you want to lose fat (if that is an option for you). Working out first thing in the morning is when your glycogen levels are depleted, thus the body burns the fat, not the food you've eaten (because you haven't eaten any yet!)

That being said, because you won't have fueled your body yet, the workouts will be a bit harder to do, but you'll burn more fat doing them.

No. No one food item can make you bulky....the only thing that can do so is lifting really heavy weight and eating a surplus of calories.

Protein is essential for muscle repair and synthesis, so adding more to your diet definitely won't hurt you and will probably help.
