 Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2008 9:45 am Post subject: P90X and Weight Loss? |
 |
|
| I'm a 27 year old male who is 5ft 11in and weigh 190lbs, I've been on the P90X program for two weeks now following the fat ripper diet and classic P90X excersize program. The problem is that I have not lost 1 pound yet, I'm sure some of that is because I've gained muscle but shouldn't I have lost a few pounds by now? I've been eating around 2500 calories and eating as few carbs as possible avoiding all bad carbs. Any info on how to turbo charge my weight loss would be great! |

| Hey Bro...don't worry about the scale...how are those pants fitting these days? This program is not designed to make you lose a lot of weight really fast in the beginning...if you wanted that you would have chosen the Atkins diet or The South Beach Diet. While those diets have a purpose...P90X is designed to break you down and build you back up again.When you start to lift weights like you said you will gain muscle...muscle will outweigh the fat and it is a counterbalance at first. I know it is frustrating, but dig down deep into your motivation levels and know that you are giving it everything that you have. My second phase it where I saw the most weight loss, b/c the fat started to come off in sheets! I am serious...veins I had never seen before and muscle definition that I did not know existed came out. I also did my own version of doubles called HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) that totally accelerated my results and I went from 16% to 8% BF in that next two months. If you want to know more about it then go to my website and read up some more and feel free to e-mail me with any questions.Take care and Bring it...make sure you are eating clean with your diet also!Derek http://www.firehouseworkouts.com |
