This phase is the lowest in calories to help kick start weight loss and is followed for the first four weeks. Carbohydrates are reduced while protein intake is kept high to help with building muscle and burning fat. In phase two, complex carbohydrates are added back into the plan to allow you to train harder and keep up with the intense workouts during this phase. You are permitted to eat three servings of complex carbohydrates such as whole wheat bread, pasta or oatmeal as well as one piece of low glycemic index fruit daily.
Protein intake also remains high so as to aid in muscle recovery. You can stick with this phase as long as it is working for you and only need to progress to phase 3 if you want to increase muscular endurance and gain more muscle. Carbohydrates are increased further to give you the stamina necessary to get through the high intensity workouts of this phase. I did this for the first 30 days. I stayed with this for the last 60 days. I have it twice a day.

Hey David I am going to be getting the p90x program from a friend of mine who has moved on to another beachbody workout and was wondering if I could somehow still get ur help with the diet plan.
Just wondering if u can still help me without me purchasing p90x from your website. I am interested in some of the supplements. Beachbody — the company that produces the P90X workout and nutrition plan — sells protein shakes and protein bars that are allowed, but not required, on the diet plan. One of the greatest benefits of the P90X nutrition plan is that it eliminates unhealthy processed foods and includes lots of nutrient-rich whole foods.
The plan claims it's the proportion of protein, carbs and fat in the diet — rather than the calorie content — that leads to fat shredding.
While calorie intake is certainly a factor in weight loss, the Harvard School of Public Health website confirms that the quality of foods consumed and ratio of protein, carbohydrates and fat does affect weight loss. Research confirms that diets with more protein and fewer carbs may assist with dropping weight and keeping it off. One study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in found that a low-carbohydrate diet led to greater weight loss than diets with a higher carbohydrate content.
A higher-protein diet with a low glycemic index is also associated with better weight-loss maintenance, according to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in The limited carbohydrate intake may help with burning fat, but because carbs are your body's preferred fuel source, you may lack energy for the workouts.
In fact, if you run out of glycogen — stored carbs in your muscle and liver — you may feel as if you can't complete a workout. P90X refers to this stall in energy as "bonking.

During each of the three phases, you will be expected to consume five meals per day.
These meals will consist of breakfast, a mid-morning snack, lunch, an afternoon snack and dinner. When you begin the P90X workout program, you will be in Phase 1. The amount of time you remain in each phase is generally up to you. Although it is recommended that you make it through all three phases prior to completing the 90 day program, the time you take with each one depends on your daily caloric needs, energy level and previous eating habits.
If the first phase seems too strict and you find yourself having difficulty making it through your workouts, you can move onto the second phase as soon as you choose. This may or may not affect the amount of weight you lose on the program but, regardless, the important thing to remember is fueling your body to complete the 90 day process.
This is where the P90X Nutrition Plan allows for the diet to be customized according to your needs and desired end results. The Fat Shredder phase was designed to do exactly as the name states. It is designed to help shred the extra fat layer off your body through a diet comprised mostly of protein, minimizing carbohydrate and fat intake.
This phase of the P90X Nutrition Plan is very similar to the South Beach low carb diet in that it drastically restricts carb intake. The carbs included in this phase tend to be low glycemic carbs that have minimal effect on blood sugar. Most of your meals in this phase will consist of vegetables, lean protein and healthy fats. If you do not have experience with these types of diets, this phase may take a bit of getting used to. In the beginning, you may feel fatigued and experience headaches, bad breath and mood swings.
