P90X results: This stuff really works

[Tha_Shogun]

The diet portion is what sucks to me. I know that in the back of the book there's an even simpler plan. For like people who can barely boil water. Post that if you will, please.

Well I don't have the guide myself, I just know what foods to look out for and which foods to have inside of your system. True enough all the food that is highly recommended should be cooked by you or someone else but it's not that hard I promise.

For boneless skinless chicken breast I can just throw in the oven and bake @ 400 and it pretty much be ok, especially if I chop it into smaller pieces.

@ Ring: Man dude I thought the exact same thing, but yea it's true, milk is not recommended during intense work-outs and dieting. It has everything your body needs nutrients wise but our body is just not built to absorb milk properly from cows. A vague way of putting it is milk is kinda like spider-man 3, it had everything a movie needed to be good, but it just sucks.

I questioned it myself until I lowered my consumption of it and started noticing the results. It's crazy.

Is milk really bad? I remember my old running coach would tell us to have some chocolate milk after practice.

Personally I have never had any problems with milk. I was drinking it and still got results. Maybe each body is different. I'm back to p90x and I'm mixing it with Beachbody's Insanity. I want to lose about 10-15lbs before my surgery, I have 6 months left. The last couple lbs of fat are really difficult to get rid of. I tried that early this year but failed so hopefully this time I will win :)

Shogun, how much weight did you lose during this entire process?

milk is good if you want to bulk, but most definitely not as good if you´re looking to cut. :)
but bottom line with fat loss is calories in versus calories out.

the easiest way is to decide if you want to add muscle, or lose fat. they´re kind of hard to do at the same time.
to put it in broad terms: if you want to add muscle, AKA bulk, you should strenght train hard,
and be on a calorie surplus.
if you want to lose weight, you should do lots of cardio, and be on a calorie deficit. :)

What I've been doin' is trying to lose all the "Fat" I can. Being lean, at 140lbs is good enough for me to start my bulking up. P90x is good, but you can achieve desirable results by going to the gym for 45mins-1hr, frequently. Of course, routine's are the things to pay attention too, and depending on if you're wanting to bulk up or lose weight, you'll have to do some changes to your eating habits.

A good friend of mine got incredibly ripped by doing exactly what I'm doin', in a month's span. No p90x involved. I'm all for p90x, though. I think it's great... but it's too boring for me.
