@Malachi. I followed the one that came with the program, so that’s what I recommend because it worked for me.

Hey Josh,
Im in the same boat as alot of people. I want to do P90X but I am tight on money with just getting married and stuck with a low paying job. I got P90X because I wanted to get into shape and get stronger for the police academy I start in January. I just wanted to know if there was any diet you could recommend besides the one the comes with the program. I wont lie, I am a picky eater. I dont like veggies and i would starve to death if I had to live off of salad. At 6 foot tall weighing 165 lbs and being 20 I would think that there is a better diet for me to want to gain muscle over burning off fat. If you have any ideas i’d appreciate it.

Hi I recently purchased the P90x program and I was just wandering how much it usually costs a week for groceries for the diet plan ??

Yeah, I recommend focusing on losing the body fat first and then on gaining mass, which is what I did. Follow the program exactly how it’s supposed to be followed, and you will get results.

I recommend following the Nutrition Plan exactly how it is outlined. And yes, if you follow the diet and workouts, you will lose body fat all around your body.

Thanks.
I would like to go for the Portion Approach, I am on Level 1, if I do what it says in Phase 3 for the daily servings for the whole Phase 1, 2 and 3,

that is:

Protein: 2
Dairy: 1
Fruits: 2
Vegetables: 2
Fat: 1
Carbs: 3
Snacks: SGL – BAR – DRINK

How should I alter this, should I add more protein? should I take away some carbs? and can I have more dairy and vegetables then what is recommended?

If i do this for 90 days will I still loose weight on my legs and butt?

Thankyou

The Nutrition Guide really doesn’t have a set diet for people looking to gain mass. However, Phase 3 is the closest to it, so I recommend following that. Also, I used the Meal Plan approach, which I found was the easiest to follow.

Thank you for your help.
I am quite skinny and looking to build bulk.
Being skinny will I develop a six pack quicker than someone with a layer of fat?
Also, to build bulk will eating more carbs and meat then recommended in the P90X nutritional guide?
Last question, What approach did you take on your first round of P90X and why? (The portion approach, The meal plan approach or the Quick option approach)

Thank you soo much!
