P90X Diet Questions and Answers.

Evelyn: “My daughter is on day 17 of p90x and I will be strting it tomorrow. I am vegetarian ( 25 years now) and have no plan to eat any meat on this diet. Would love to get feedback from you and ways to stay on the diet and not eat any meat— thanks so much”

Nate: First thoughts, jump in with her on the dvd she’s on.  If you can do it together it is so much easier to stay motivated.

Secondly, not eating meat is tough on a diet that requires so much protein in the first stages.  For years I was vegan, which as you know is a tad bit stricter on a diet than being vegitarian.  My diet mostly consisted of vegetables and fruits. 

Becareful not to ‘over’ eat on the carbs.  Anytime I would eat with friends or family they would try and shove pastas at me and potatoes and other carb/starches.  These things can counter anything P90x wants you to do. 

I love tofu.  Let me repeat I love tofu.  If you can grill it or pan sear it and then use some type of stir fry sauce on it it is the best thing to happen to brocolli and carrots.

Good luck, you’re a much stronger person than I.
