If it's green and less than 80g you'll be fine. If you're going to cheat then at least you made a good choice!!!
It shows that you can make good choices when you need to which is a super sign for post diet maintenance
Current loss: 6lbs

This is the mentality you need to break though. Don't make this another fad.....balance.
Lose the insanity DVD, it'll wait. Focus on your 3 shakes a day and learn to relax...otherwise the second you start eating you'll pile it all on as you'll be in a 'nothing' phase...
Current loss: 12lbs and 7.5inches

This is a VLCD focused mostly on protein so it'll do as well as any other diet you might try. A small amount of exercise on ss is fine in fact it's good for you but too much and you basically crash big style and your body makes you want more food. For good reason. It sends you into too big of a calorie deficit and you feel starved. Walking and gentle jogging or swimming (my evening fave especially when tired) is all good. Just take it easy. When you exercise strenuously you damage the muscles and the recovery on Cambridge takes days longer than it would otherwise due to the limited intake.
Once you move up to step 2 and beyond or you've been on ss for a bit of time and your body is used to it then the more strenuous exercise is all good!

Hi ladies,
I've done insanity before, not while on Cambridge, before I started. I found it really tough and that was on a full diet! But I did like it and really saw results. You are supposed to do 6 exercise videos a week, Mon to Sat with Sun off. I found this too much, I was wrecked and had no free time. So I switched to doing 3 videos a week and found this a lot more manageable and still with good results. I stopped a while before I started Cambridge though, I know I wouldn't have the energy for it now. There's a lot of jumping up and down and sometimes on Cambridge I get dizzy just standing up, I'd never be able for it! I'm planning on taking it up again whenever I go up to step 3 though and start on 3 videos a week again. It's a great program and I'd defo recommend it, I'm hoping I'll be much slimmer then so I'll be able to get nice and toned!

I did a bit too much a week ago and it floored me for days. It's better to enjoy the gentler stuff that knacker yourself with too much. Light weights and a lot of them will help with toning. Just fit it as as you are microwaving or boiling the kettle etc with a couple of tins. Once I'm working my way up the steps I'm going to do insanity. My friend did it and look so very toned! I will be unrecognisable come summer!
