It seems to me that I have been working my butt off doing Insanity everyday...and for the last 4-5 weeks not seeing much change on the scale and in the mirror. So a few days ago my darling husband had the idea of altering our intake of carbs...mostly bread, pasta, potatoes, and rice...not for good, just for a change. It's good to trick your body to activate a faster metabolism. I have been focusing on getting my carbs from other sources like fruits, veggies and almonds. And for meals I've had to get creative with side dishes, forcing me to use things like spinach salad and roasted asparagus as fillers, which I wouldn't normally do if I could use potatoes.
The experiment has already been a success! After only a few days, I have lost two pounds and my waist is noticeably smaller! I couldnt be more delighted, and now I'm motivated to try to keep it up for a few more weeks. Some things that I will be using as side dishes are beans and sweet potatoes, which have carbs...but they are healthy and as long as I still use lots greens I think I will keep seeing results. Keep in mind that I am still doing Insanity, but if you exercise and eat smart, you will get results!

My new favorite breakfast: frozen berries, Chobani cherry Greek yogurt, and chia seeds. Combine at night, putting the berries in the bottom of the cup, and stir in the morning. And of course...serve with several cups of coffee!
