P90X Nutrition : Why Its So Important

To get great results with the P90X workout you have to follow the P90X nutrition plan. Don’t make the same mistake I did during my first 3 rounds of P90X and eat what you think is good and wonder why your not seeing the results you should be seeing. Yes, you will get stronger and in better shape but if your not following the P90X nutrition plan then your not going to see those ripped 6 pack abs or the definition you know you have.

P90X Nutrition : “Abs Are Made In The Kitchen” Tony Horton

That is one of my favorite quotes from Tony Horton and its so true. Tony said that over 75% of your results will come from what you eat and not from the workouts. Its hard to understand why a guy who makes his living from selling the P90X workout dvds would say that but he’s right. The workouts alone will not do it.

Why Is The P90X Nutrition Plan So Hard To Follow?

This is a common answer for most, if not every person who starts reading the P90X nutrition plan. It is very in depth and in some cases over whelming. Its set up for success so you have to understand that Beachbody is setting you up to achieve the best possible results. It might feel like you are taking a health class while reading the P90X nutrition book and it should. There are tons of recipes showing you how to prepare the food along with when the best times to eat are. What I recommend you do is sign up for a Beachbody Club membership. You’ll get 10% off anything you buy from Beachbody, get custom meal plans made for you, and expert advice from their trainers. Many people go this route first and then buy what you need to do P90X with saving them $20.

P90X Nutrition Plan – I Need Help With It

No worries. What worked for me was to pick a couple items from each phase, learn how to make them, and slowly incorporate them into my diet. This way it did not feel that overwhelming trying to learn 3 new things to cook every day. Now it was just 1 new thing a day which turned into 5 new meals a week. Its going to take time but most of the meals involve changing out one main ingredient like instead of using beef they recommend turkey.

Best Way To Get Results With The P90X Nutrition Plan

Buy Shakeology and start using it daily. This is a quick and easy way to make sure you get all of the vitamins and a handful of other powerful ingredients in your body every day. I’d say its made the biggest effect on my results since taking it. Shakeology helps keep the weight off and it gets to work on your system flushing out everything your body does not need.

Where Can I Buy The P90X Nutrition Plan?

Beachbody does not sell the P90X nutrition guide individually.  Your best option is to buy the P90X DVDs, join the Beachbody Club, or get a free Beachbody account where you can be a part of the community and win prizes. You will get free nutrition tips from their monthly newsletter.

P90X Nutrition Plan Review

What I really enjoyed about the P90X nutrition plan is that it slowly starts you in changing your eating habits. As most of us know, crash diets lead to failure. Our lives are not designed to make drastic changes so fast and our body will now know what to do and will go into shock mode. I can tell that the people at Beachbody have really put some time and effort into making the whole P90X package a top notch workout system. Most of the dinners and meals that are included in the P90X 3 Phase Nutrition Plan are simple and it really comes down to portion control. This is one thing that is stressed in the guide. They try to get you to eat through out the day instead of 3 big meals which most of us do. Eating 5 small meals during the day will give you the energy to stay moving but not make you feel so heavy and tired after eating.

Any Good Books To Go Along With The P90X Nutrition Plan?

I recommend “Eat Right For Your Blood Type“. I have been following this book for the past 5 years. It was introduced to me by my roommate at the times sister. She was in her 30′s but looked like she was in her mid 20′s. The book is pretty simple and it makes a lot of sense. Researchers followed back the different types of bloodlines (O+, O-, A, B, etc.) and looked at what type of food was available at that time for those people to eat. Whatever they had is what you should be eating. As an example, I am O+. This is the oldest type of blood. It was the same blood type as the cave man. The book says all that the cave man had to eat was a lot of proteins (meat). They did a study on people with O+ blood and found that they all had higher acidic levels in their stomachs then other blood types. O+ people needed the higher acidic levels to be able to break down the high amounts of meats in their stomachs. Other blood types should not eat as much as O+ people. On the flip side it says that I should not eat foods high in acidic levels like oranges because now I have twice the amount of acids in my stomach which gives me a tummy ache. The book breaks down what foods and drinks are good for you, neutral, and bad. Lucky for me beer is okay. Liquors are bad.

P90X Nutrition Plan: In Summary

Start incorporating Shakeology along with the P90X 3 Phase Nutrition Plan into your meal plan to get the results you want when doing the P90X workout. Its very important to do so or otherwise you might end up feeling discouraged because you don’t see as many results. Stick to the P90X nutrition plan and every thing else will follow.
