Proper Nutrition is VITAL to maximizing your success when you are navigating your way through the toughest 60 days of working out in your life with Insanity.
Luckily, Beachbody, and Shaun T have provided the Elite Nutrition Guide with Insanity.
The Insanity Elite Nutrition Guide is an amazing resource for proper nutrition. The best part is that it is specific to the extreme nutritional needs of someone trying to survive 60 days of Insanity.
The Elite Nutrition Guide is very well designed. It is appealing to the eye. It has a modern, clean look. It fits in perfectly with the most appealing Workout System packaging that Beachbody has ever produced. You know from the second you look at Insanity, you are in for something special!
The Insanity Elite Nutriton Guide is not a nutrtion plan to follow for only 60 days. It can be utilized for a lifetime. The Guide gets into the Insanity Philosophy immediately. Its not low calorie, or low carb. The Guide educates you in how to eat to properly fuel your body to thrive while doing Insanity.
The ratio of nutrients in the Insanity Elite Nutrition Guide is the following:
40% Protein
40% Carbohydrates
20% Healthy Fats
You eat 5 meals per day.
Breakfast
Mid Morning snack
Lunch
Mid afternoon snack
Dinner
There are 5 meal lists and you pick one meal from each of the five meal lists. Eaxch meal list has 10 options! The Elite Nutrition Guide is simple to follow!
Each meal is roughly 300 calories with Instructions as to how to up the calories to 400 or 500 calorie meals, depending on yoru caloric needs.
Month one gets you rolling nutritionally and during month 2 you simply eat more! There are nutritional “Blocks” that you can utilize to add 100 calories at a time to yoru meals. Doing the MAX Insanity workouts in Month 2, you will need it!
When you detemine yoru caloric needs, you will use the Harris Benedict Equation to determine your caloric needs. Follow the math in the Guide step by step to determine your caloric needs for your 60 Day Insanity Journey. **Shaun T has said on his Facebook Wall that if you want to lose weight/body fat doing Insanity, you should reduce the caloric intake you get from the Elite Nutrition Guide Math by 300 calories**
Here are a couple of pointers to follow while following the Insanity Elite Nutrition Guide & doing Insanity:
-
Drink ALLOT of Water. You won’t beleive how much you sweat during Insanity!
-
Use the Results & Recovery Formula after each Insanity workout to maximixe recovery.
-
Make sure you weigh yourself at the end of each week & ensure you recalculate your caloric needs as your bodyweight changes.
