P90X Who wants to Bring It?

[Linus]

I've got it and the Power 30. I've tried the Power 30 and am interested in getting into the P90X (ideally without causing too much noise to the neighbours below).

are you following the program precisely?

I just have the disks, but downloaded some workout and diet logs.

If you are following the program how far along are you?

[Linus]

Well.. It's the workout specifically that I want to follow and use a diet program that works for me (vegan/vegetarian). I actually have followed the power 30 for about 2 weeks and saw some results from that. I just need to get back on it again..

cool I am mostly veggie too (eat organic meat about once a month).

But want to bump up the protein and utilize strategic eating (like recovery meals after workouts) to build muscle.

I have been pretty inspired by people's blogs on the net about it. But it always helps to have workout buddies!

I want to start Monday.

You may want to look at Vega Protein Mix as an alternative.

no no hell no! I hate to workout. I have to be playing. why do you want so much muscles? I can understand being strong and lean. I think its too hard on your body imo

linus thanks for the link.

you can get good proteins from lots of sources. lately I've added hulled hemp seed to oatmeal, on whole grain toast with almond butter or peanut, put in a shake with organic soy milk, 2 raw fresh organic eggs, organic molasses. this shake would actually be a great recovery drink. add banana.

Sounds good. Although I'm trying to get back to being vegan so the Eggs is out

wow this stuff looks good but its so expensive for 15 servings 74.00? I guess is you're looking at it as a meal replacement then maybe.

I know it's hard when you're busy to prepare food but whole foods really are best. Anytime you process food, even healthy food you lose so many important things that only live food can give you.

I am a big juicer. There's no way I could consume the amount I juice. We forget how many proteins are in raw vegetables.

I have a hard time staying as disciplined as I'd like. I get busy and often cut corners only it to pay for later. When I'm around someone sick I get sick, never fails. I'm never around a lot of people so I dont get a chance to build up immunities. The good thing is when I get sick it never says long. I definitely attribute this to lots of organic fruits and veggies.

How much protein do you feel a body needs?

[Linus]

Hrmm... roughly around 84grams. I think that people forget that protein is in everything we eat (speaking of raw foods). http://www.vrg.org/nutrition/protein.htm
