melindaxl Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hi, I'm on my second week on insanity and I feel like I have to eat way more to keep my energy up then what I should! I've noticed my biceps are looking stronger, but I don't see any fat coming off yet! Besides doing insanity I also take my dog for a 30 min. walk everyday unless it's nasty out side, the walk has alot of hills and I end up walking about 2-3 miles! I don't know if that would make any differense! Plus I have a pear shaped body I would really like to get rid of! I'm doing searching on what vegan foods I should stay away from that can increase more fat in the lower body! I do have alot of muscle it's just I got some fat on top of it covering it up, whitch I HATE! It's like the last bit of fat that's hard to get off! I weigh around 140 lbs if that helps! Would anyone know what I might be doing wrong! By the way coconut oil in my diet keeps my energy up and helps me with my blood sugar and helps my digestion- so that's why I have it in some of my meals! For breakfast I have a protein smoothie a hour or so before I exercise! About 7:30 a.m 2-3 bananas1 serv. soy protein isolate1cup spinach1cup unsweetened almond milk1 tbsp coconut oil For recovery about 30 min. after my workout I have another protein smoothie.2-3 bananas1 serv. soy protein isolate1/2 cup berries1cup unsweetened almond milk1 tbsp coconut oil For lunch around 1:00 p.m1cup brown rice1/2 cup split peas or other peas1-2 cups of steamed veg.1 tbsp coconut oil mixed in the rice For a snack around 3:30about 5-6 dates or 1cup of juicy fruit1/4 cup of natural nuts For supper around 5:30 a medium salad 2cups romain 1/2 med. tomatofew slices of onionsome split peas or 1 vegan pattie cut up in the salad carrotscelerycauliflower broccoli2 tbsp veagan mayo1/2 avocado For a snack around 8:00medium banana1 serv. nat. p-nut butter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesxvx Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Judging from your sample day, it looks like you're pushing a nutritious meal plan for the day. I know personally after my workouts I only mix my protein with water, that way I can get my nutrition from a meal rather than what I put into my shake. Use this formula to calculate your caloric input for a day and shoot for around that. Your body-weight in pounds x 18kcal = Calories per day. I'm no expert on this stuff, but that helped me out.

melindaxl Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Thanks for your help! I'll try what you said! I'm starting to go back to my raw food vegan diet again! For some reason I can get plenty of food in the raw vegan diet without having too many calories! Plus my digestion does 100 times better which makes a differense in having less body fat! I have hypoglycemia and I do better on the raw vegan diet keeping my fruits high by having a high carb low fat vegan diet! I'll eat a little cooked veggies or whole grains, but 75% or more will be raw because my digestion and energy levels just does so much better! Thanks again!
