Preparing for Insanity Workout

My fiancee and I took a good look in the mirror and decided it was time to try something new.  After asking people I knew and doing online research we decided that the Insanity Workout Videos are just what we need.  We want to lose fat and gain muscle and that's exactly what Insanity is suppose to do.  This week I am planning our meals for the next few weeks, because we want this workout to work like it should we are taking the meals rather seriously.  The nice thing about this workout plan is they provide a ton of recipes and a list of all of the foods you can eat, so you don't have to use their recipes, you can make your own too.  The hard part is trying to up our food intake.  We have been doing low calorie diets and eating 5 times a day for the last year, but now I have to eat an extra 500 calories a day....this is going to be rough. On the plus side the Insanity mean plan wants you to eat 5 times a day and since we are already doing that so at least that won't be new. 

The foods that they recommend are pretty simple, lean meats, good carbs, fruits, and vegetables.  Basically they want you to eliminate the crap that you eat, like McDonald's...try a lean burger or turkey burger instead.  Basically the food they want you to eat is the food you should be eating, so that seems simple right? Well it is until you start craving something fatty, like cake or fried chicken...thankfully I don't have a sweet tooth, but I do like fried food...
