I posted this on my wall but since its all about the p90x diet plan I thought I would post it here!
Okay today is a new day! I started P90x Sunday and tried to follow the low carb (30%) high protein (50%) diet they recommended on Monday with the workout plan. They recommend this for the first month then gradually bring in more carbs. Anyway, I completely crashed and was eating every carb in site once 11 am hit. I evidently have too low body fat to follow that plan acording to the book??? Or I am weak one of the two
Didn’t help that my fitbit had me waking up 10x throughout the night with little sleep so I was really tired and I did the full workout and walked at lunch.
Anyway, today is a new day and I am not following there diet plan. I am doing my own plan because that seems to work best! I was absolutely STARVING the whole day and I polished off like 1910 calories plus!! When I am usually fine with anything under or around1500. I like trying new things to see what works better for me but it seems 5-6 meals a day is perfect with the first meal as a granola bar in the morning. If I eat more then that in the morning I want to pig out and I am eating my carbs… I LOVE MY CARBS! I WILL BE EATING MY PEANUT & BUTTER SANDWHICH TODAY! Lost all my baby fat and then some doing this so I am sticking with it. And my body loves carbs too so I am listening too it. Around 1500 calories a day is and has been working perfect since I have been bumping up my workouts a lot and doing extra workouts. The 1150 was doing great when I started ( I am only 5'1 and 109 lbs) but these last 2 weeks of me adding in an extra workout and doing more and longer workouts has me needing more. Okay as I said today is a NEW day so going back to what works and throwing the nutrition plan from p90x out the window! Although might keep some of it for new recipe ideas… there are a lot. Good luck to you all today!

I have done P90X 3 times now and have had the same experience at you...I'm 5'4" and 109...but I need more carbs than they suggest. You are wise to listen to your body....if I went by their plan, I am either starving or exhausted...neither one is positive. But I have gotten really good results from P90X and love the program....we just have to tweek it to fit our bodies
keep up the good work!0 -
I'm currently aiming for 40:40:20 as i just cannot so 50:30:20. It isn't about hunger or anything, it is more that I feel sick eating that much protein.0

You know what, it's all about what works for you. We all function differently and have our own set goals. My first round of p90x, I did the 50/30/20 for both the first and second phase. I was just going for mostly body fat. This time I plan on doing that again, because I gained all of that back this past year and need to lose it all. Good luck to you! Hope you keep rockin it!
I have a thread going on in the BeachBody Fit Club with a bunch of us p90xers checking in and keeping each other motivated. Feel free to join us if you want.
