On Eating

I just wanted to share with you guys how important a nutrition plan is while doing P90X. When I started my first round of P90X, first 2-3 weeks I wasn't really paying attention to the food I eat. I thought by workout alone, I could achieve the transformation that the program promises. So, I looked at changing my diet to the nutrition plan (funny, I follow the Insanity nutrition guide coz I got it as xmas gift). I went from eating salty and fatty foods to lean and less salty foods. I started eating whole grain breads etc. Fish, tuna, turkey and almost avoid fried foods, I mostly eat egg white omelet, my meal for the day is planned ahead for most days of the week, added supplement to my diet such as B-complex and use whey protein shake to drink as snack after workout. It made a huge difference when I did all these and I saw such dramatic transformation when I cleaned up my diet. Of course I slip and use my weekend to eat less healthy foods, but I realized, I workout well and burn more if I discipline myself to eat foods that will support my workout routine. I learned NOT to starve myself and most importantly, to focus more to the goal I want to achieve. After my round 1 of P90X, I lost 15 lbs. I am on my round 2 and I am doing hybrid with Insanity. I will continue to follow the eating and workout routines I started and decided to get rid of the weight I shouldn't have for good. I hope my little tip helps.

Great decision! I am glad you decided and committed. Like Tony said, no one said this is easy, but hey, all hard work will pay off in 90 days

How closely did you follow the nutrition plan? Just curious because I'm doing my best to - I'm upping my lean protein and going low fat and lower carb, but I'm not following it exactly. I'm also exclusively breastfeeding my 7 month old, so I have to have more fats (fish, avocado, etc) than would normally be allowed.
