Ok so let's talk about nutrition first. Did you know that 80% of your success when it comes to getting healthy and losing weight comes from nutrition? You can work your butt off with these workouts but if you aren't controlling the food that is going in to your mouth then you are just wasting your time. Insanity Max 30 comes with an AWESOME nutrition plan. In fact, it is extremely similar to the 21 Day fix plan! If you aren't familiar with how that plan works, let me explain.

Insanity Max 30 Food Portion Containers

First, you decide whether you are to follow Plan A or Plan B in the Max 30 guide. If you are under 150 pounds then you follow Plan A and if you are over 150 pounds you follow Plan B. From there, it tells you how many of each food category you get. If you have the 21 Day Fix portion control containers (located on the left), then you can use them! The Insanity Max 30 deluxe kit actually comes with them. If you don't have them; however, no big deal! The serving sizes are listed next to each food on the food lists anyways!

Once you figure out how many of each food category you get, you now get to check out the food lists. Each color has it's own list and each food has the serving size. For example, if you'd like to eat strawberries as one of your fruits for the day, it says you can have 1 cup. If you'd like a mix of strawberries and blueberries for variety, you can just fill one cup, or a purple container, with both. It's pretty simple! Oh, and I should mention that the foods on each list are listed in order of most nutritional value to least. That part was really beneficial to me because I noticed that a lot of the foods I was eating ranked lower on the list than I would have thought.

Insanity Max 30 Meal

When it comes to eating healthy, lots of people seem to think it means going to the organic section and spending tons of money. It's not! In fact, the foods that are listed in the Max 30 guide are totally normal foods that you can get at just about any grocery store, even Walmart! Here is an example of a meal I had this past week as my mid-morning snack. I know, it's a big snack! I like to drink my Shakeology first thing for breakfast and then eat what would be considered a normal breakfast a few hours later.

* 4 Egg Whites (1/2 red container)
* Ezekiel Toast (1 yellow container)
* Grilled Red and Green Peppers (1 green container)
* Halo (1 purple container)

Aside from the food lists, there are all kinds of delicious looking breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and Shakeology recipes. There is even a DIY omelet and salad bar section where the nutritional value/serving sizes of all kinds of foods are available as you plan it out.

Last but not least, there are a couple of sample meal plans, information on when you should or should not be adding /subtracting food, and of course, a food tracker.

No Time to Cook Guide

There is another little gem that comes with the program. Does anyone out there enjoy eating out? Do you ever plan something to make at home but at the last minute you end up sitting at a restaurant? Or maybe some of you have those days where you just don't have time to cook due to kids activities or just being too busy! There is this handy little No Time to Cook guide that comes with Insanity Max 30! It's even small enough to fit in my purse! BONUS! This book seriously has it all! It's got 10 Tips for Eating Out that are simple to follow, a restaurant guide the tells you what you should try and what you should skip out on with pretty much all types of foods, and it even has information about the Do's and Don'ts of Fast Food! Restaurants like Burger King, Chipotle, Convenience Stores, Panera, Subway, Starbucks, and more are located in this section. There is a list under each restaurant with recommended foods and the nutritional values if you are in a pinch or plan to eat there. Lastly, you will find some information on Frozen Meals. It's no surprise to hear that those convenient processed frozen dinners aren't exactly the best choice; however, this book does outline the nutrition facts and gives recommendations for popular brans like Weight Watchers, Lean Cuisine, Healthy Choice, etc. If anything, this book is the PERFECT addition to my purse for when I am on the go and/or caught off guard.

Ok so here is my meal plan for this week following Plan A of the Insanity Max 30 Nutrition Guide. As you can see it is all normal foods that you AND your family can enjoy! I am still incorporating Shakeology in to my daily plan as my breakfast. A couple nights I even added a second shake in as an evening snack. I love that I can use this to get my daily dose of nutrients!

How about we talk about the workouts next?! Can you say INSANE?!! If I'm being honest, I'm not a huge fan of intense cardio workouts. I was actually on the fence of even purchasing this program because I clearly remember when I did Insanity. I decided that since each workout was only 30 minutes I would give it a try. Much to my surprise, I LOVED it! It definitely kicked my butt and yes, I was sore, but this has to be hands down the most motivational workout I've ever done! It's about pushing yourself to YOUR Max. You aren't competing with the others, you are competing with yourself. So what you do is push play and start the work out. You keep up with it for as long and hard as you can. Once you can't take it any more, you "Max Out." During that time you take a quick drink, catch your breath, and then jump back in! It's OK to Max Out! On the first workout I held strong until the 8 minute mark; however, in another workout I maxed out at 6 minutes 40 seconds! I also love that there is a modifier track so that you can see the modifier at all times!
