Like most of his show, he completely tries to dumb things down. . Most people hate to count calories and these "rules" are a way to attempt to limit your calories without actually counting them. I'll stick with tracking calories and maintaining my macros within a defined range.

Cons - Metally tough to push play everyday as you know you are going to get your butt kicked by Shaun T. With any sor to fknee ankle issues, it will be tough on them especially for those too overweight. Not a beginners workout. Should be in good enough shape to not have to modify too much. If you have to modify a lot of…

Considering you are doing P90X it looks pretty good. I know the nutirtion guide suggests 40/40/20 protein/Carbs/fat ratio after the first 30 days and you seem to hit that occasionally. The women that I know that do P90X have had success eating 1800 total calories. If you have a few workouts where you are feeling a lack of…

Weigh yourself the same time of the day on the days you do step on the scale. As a point of reference, I can easily have my weight drop 5 pounds overnight, especially If I've had alot of water or other fluids to drink in the evening. Tim

If your protein goal is the 15 % set by MFP, you can eat more protein than that.

I too was unaware of any "requirement"! Drink when you're thirsty, that's what I do.

Totally understand where you are coming from. Two years ago I started P90X. Two weeks in, after busting my butt on the hardest workouts I had every done I had gained 4 pounds. I trusted that all the work I was doing was going to pay off and that most of that gain was fluid retention due to my muscles freaking out to all…

Spot on.

My advice is not to do the LEAN. Do the classic version. P90X was designed that way. You're results with the Classic version will blow away anything you get from doing the LEAN!!

While many people think consuming protein after a workout is a must the actual truth is that your muscles need carbs to replace the glycogen they just burned as fuel. That's why they have things like Gatorade, which is just sugar water. Protein is definitely needed to help repair your muscles but even Whey, takes quite a…

Ave. HR was 131 BPM and you were burning nearly 20 calories a minute, seems way too high.

Doing P90X correctly you can drop weight. I lost 30 pounds and easily keep it off doing P90X.

What are you goals?

On the resistance days your're probably fine to continue to run. The day you do Plyo, I'd think twice about running. In my opinion that would be overkill.

Awesome! Nothing will change your body the way weights will.

The problem with using Hex DBs is that that can roll on you when you go wide. Push up stands generally have the bar higher so you can go deeper for a bigger range of motion. Just get stands with a wide base, preferable round. Didn't like the perfect pushup ones, the best I found are the power Stands from Beachbody.

Enjoy! Push yourself but don't be afraid to take breaks when you need it. Even those in the video have to stop once in a while. Just try to keep the breaks a short as possible and get back into it.

YES!!

The LEAN program was added to appease those that feel that lifting weights will make them bulky. Please! I beg of you, do the Classic Verison of P90X as it was intended. You will get the best results that way. Women, on a reduced calorie diet will not gain muscle mass on P90X. As a guy I have severe difficulty gaining mass…

For me meds would not be an option. Based on all the research i've done, Statins (Lipitor being one) have not been proven to increase life expectancy execpt in men under 70 and with pre-existing heart. They didn't even do a study on women so why are women taking this drug when there is no proof it makes them live longer.…

I rely on chicken breast, eggs and tuna. The sodium in the tuna bums me out a bit but worth the trade off. As a guy, I find it hard to get much more than 40% of my calories from protein without using something liek whey protein powder, but that's when I'm trying to ingest well over 200g a day of protein

I love it. Someone else that actually does research on topics!

Sometime in April after I finish my first round of P90X2, I plan to get dunked and get a more accurate BF% than I'm getting with Calipers now. Would like to be sub 10%. Calipers have me around 8% which I just can't be right. Tim

Great job! Good luck with P90X2, I'm 2 weeks into the second Phase.

This White meat chicken is essentially all protein!!

Clif Builder's Bars Nearly all organic ingredients, but 270 calories. but 20g of protein. Basically satifies my sweet tooth

I read it, but had to get a set of cliff notes to be able to follow along. Brutal!

Ours is spent on our first installment of our property taxes.

Being totally out of breath walking up 2 flights of stairs. Unacceptable!!
