  • Without knowing your current fitness condition, caloric intake, and any health issues that you may have, it can be difficult to make suggestions. If your physical condition is average (good), then have you thought about incorporating some weights into your training? You do not have to go heavy, just enough weight to pull…
  • On average, you are burning around 700 cal / workout with P90X. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uClu8PqGSwY watch the entire video and you will see how the nutrition for P90X was developed. It should answer the majority of your questions. Independent Beachbody Coach
  • I didn't figure out how to have it automatically posted in my signature until after I added it to my post manually. What can I say? I am a newbee!
  • The problem with sugar is two-fold: it increases one's blood sugar and stops your body from using stored fat for energy and foods high in sugar tend to be high in carbohydrates which will be an additional fuel source for your body. Eliminating extra sugar (like processed foods and sweets) is a good thing. You do not have…
  • I routinely have around 140g of protein. Your body actually burns much more calories digesting protein than carbohydrates and fats. I wouldn't worry about it. Calorie intake is paramount in losing weight, not so much your exceeding a protein limit.
  • I routinely have 4oz of double churned fat free icecream once every night! It is soooooo good. I add some peanuts and a few M&Ms (10 or less) and enjoy my evil delight! Skinny Cow is good too.

  • I am routinely hitting around 30 grams in a given day, though I still take in some M&Ms throughout the day. Shhhh! Don't tell the wife! :tongue: I think that your sugar intake will not break the bank when it comes to whether or not you will lose any weight, especially if you are working out...doing cardio for at least 30…
  • Well, I guess my burning question is..."How much sugar are you taking in every day?" I need grams. -Mark Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Online Calorie Counter
  • Also, do not be discouraged if your body hits a plateau. There is nothing wrong with you. This is a normal bodily response. Stick to your program, make sure your diet is clean when you hit a plateau, and kick up the intensity during your workouts; don't forget a little bit more sleep, and you should see your numbers drop a…
  • One thing to remember is that P90X offers three different (difficulty levels) to follow. If your goal is to lose fat and maintain your current muscle mass --> P90X Lean Program. If your goal is to maintain your current weight, drop some fat and build muscle --> P90X Classic. If your goal is to be INSAIN and you are already…
  • Sweet! Thanks for the help! I just copied and pasted what ImageShack.com gave me, but none of them worked. Nice to see some savvy people here to give me a hand with those pics. * Do to my success with the Beachbody products, I had sooooo many people come up to me and ask, "What are you doing to lose weight?" I just decided…

  • I know a little something about drinking...and I am not too proud of it, but due to my cultural exchanges with our friends across the pond (the Russians), I have found what worked well for me: - For every 1 drink of alcohol, drink 2-3 cups of water. - Don't worry about the calories for one night of drinking. Yes, if you…
    in alcohol?? Comment by markxster May 2009
  • Here is the simple answer. Have a realistic outlook and a positive mindset. If you are looking for a fast track weight-loss, do not shoot for losing more than 2 lbs a week. If your goal is to lose fat primarily, then you should focus your exercising on lighter weight strength training (due to a lower carbohydrate diet) and…
