Now that I'm a moderator, I can edit my original post, since nothing has been said about whether this is against the rules I'll assume it's not, I've made minor alterations to some of the nutrition and exercise parts, nothing crazy, but added a day of weight training to the initial stage, and changed the protein levels slightly (upward) based on new data and new research.0

I have a question...
I know your plan is broad and I'm sure you don't want to answer questions from every tom **** and harry, but I was wondering...
I'm in stage three (I think). I'm about 10lbs away from a "healthy" weight (according to my BMI).
I'm still doing P90 - I'm in the higher intensity cardio/weights now. I was just wondering if that kind of thing fits into your "stage three" exercise suggestions. That's really the only exercise I do/have time for other than some light bike riding with my family in the evenings. I do it all 6 days out of the week.
What do you think?0 -

sounds about right (your stage). As far as P90X goes, I've tried it before, just to say I did, I don't like the nutrition part at all, but the workouts are decent as far as a generic exercise program goes. Really, like any exercise program, you get out of it what you put into it so if you work hard, put in the effort, you'll see pretty good results from it. Are there better programs than P90X? Yeah, almost any worthwhile trainer will give you a better routine, just because they can personalize it, but that doesn't mean P90 is bad, it's just more generic, so it may not get you quite as far, or give you quite the results as a good individualized program would. The only part of p90X exercise I think is not good is the Plyo part, most of what he gives you isn't actually plyometric, or just barely so, as a trainer, that's one of the things I specialize in (explosion training, agility, quickness, and reaction time) and I just feel his plyo is weak, but other than that, I think it's ok. I still think you could get out and do better HIIT than what they offer, but if you're pressed for time and can't afford a trainer, it's worth it.0 -
