About the brown rice i am hoping i cant get some info about it,i just read its a good substitute for rice.Irish potato and sweet potato are healthier carb options.

I have never seen brown rice anywhere around but one great substitute is this local paddy rice or ofada rice, its raw and not processes just like the "brown rice"

well from what i read on google brownand white rice have bout the same caloric value. but brown rice is more nutritous. it could actually beofada rice

Tae Bo Ultimate Upper body workout - 50 mins

Skipping - 300

@Echala- all the best with the Insanity program, can't wait to see your results. I've always thought about taking this challenge some day..I know it costs quite a bit, but the results speak for themselves. Do keep us posted with how you are getting on. can't wait to see your before/after pics!

@taitee- nice workout . Brown rice has the husks on it and shorter grains. Basically it's unrefined. more nutritious and it is an acquired taste! Your post also reminded me to soak some beans this morning to make some moi-moi later. Cheers its definitely a good choice if you have the munchies than loading up on carbs.

^^Btw easy on the plantain o, I always knew they were high in calories but never realised how much until recently. There are aprox 65 cals per slice of plantain! so I've had to demote my beloved plantain to the odd occasion as I can't just eat 1 or 2 slices only...

Goodmorning peeps....how are we doing...?

So my meal for last night was 3 pieces of chicken with a handful of gari....did a 40 minutes of cardio, a mixture of jumping jacks, squarts with the use of dumb-bells, press-ups, jumping ropes, planks, sit-ups etc...i basically mixed cardio and pilates together, did 30 minutes of cardio and 10 minutes of pilates....

I am presently detoxing so not eating much, but the tea is a killer, i feel so much cramps, i have just taken it for two days, i am stopping it, too much cramps in my stomach, i will use the other tea am used to.....i no fit scream...

@babs2011 did not know that there are so many calories in plaintain oooo.....great, good to know....

@HG, let us know the new steps oooo, i am so interested.....

^are you sure the sugar in the tea wasnt the cause of the cramps.

Assuming you added sugar. It can sometimes have that effect if taken continuously.

Sorry to gatecrash the thread.

No not at all, don't use sugar for those type of teas'....drink it black...it does not even taste right with sugar....that tea is very effective, i have to drink it once a day and my stomach will be flushed....but i just hate the intermittent pain....i can't fit ....thanks....i was wondering what you were doing on the thread when i saw your name ....abi you have some few tips for us ni

^oh, ok.

i just browse the thread occasionally for tips- dont really post here.


I'm learning, sort of, lol.

dont have much to say besides avoiding too much sugar and stuff.

@babs 10x. somtimes in dietin u jus get stuck n dnt know wat 2 eat cos almost evryfood has 2 much calorie

Taitee, i actually use green tea or diet tea...to detoxify....sometimes i drink water and eat just vegetables, something that will make me pee more and have more bowel movement....it helps cleans the liver and so on....i tried doing a body wrap detoxification.....i don't know what it did, i only know that it made my skin smoother and silkier....

Even yoga...can help you detoxify.....

so ull just drinkonly teA d wole day or will eat oda foods?

^^^^ My dear i eat other foods oooo, but i avoid carbs and i am strictly on proteinous foods and water....just incase i am dehydarated. Not today sha, i had to eat rice oooo....because i am stopping the one i am presently doing, i have to start all over again, that tea is not good for me...

Echala: Hello All,

It's been a while, I hope everyone's doing okay and still working towards healthy living. Personally.

Tomorrow I am starting the 60 days intense INSANITY workout, I wrote about this workout program a few months ago, but I have been putting off starting the program because of how suicidal it looks. I recently bought the DVD set. So starting tomorrow morning and for the next 60 days, I am going to be sweating it out with Shaun T and his team. I will try as much as possible to log my daily activity during the 60 days.

I have taken some before pictures tonight and weighed myself. After 60 days I will post my before and after pictures and weight measurements.

Wish me luck as I embark on this all important journey.

Is this Echala or someone I met at Oshodi, lol. Welcome back, and welcome to Insanity may you not go insane with Shaun T . I will look forward to your pics

Aronky, I believe in you. Is that supposed to be south beach diet or Atkins? What we all look forward to is results and more results
