P90x Vegan

Comment by Seth Lopez on February 1, 2011 at 2:48pm

I'm 5'8 156lbs and supposedly I should be taking 100 grams of protein or more according to some sources. I take the vega sport protein supplement and also brown rice protein as well as sunbutter, veggie burgers and beans/lentils. I take in about 80 grams of protein all from great sources. Calories mean nothing to me, I've lost weight eating 3500 calories a day so I don't worry too much about that. Karrie, I'm about as far as you in the p90x program and am getting amazing results so far as well!

Hi Seth, thanks for sharing. What is your goal for the end of the program? My goal is 125 lbs and body fat 16 %

Well I just want to be ripped haha I'm always bulky and have big muscles that aren't defined. I look like I'm 20lbs more than I am because I have a strongman type build... big chest and arms. So I really want to lean out and look my weight with some definition. I lost 80lbs in the last year and a half... thats before going vegan and starting p90x so I'm happy with whatever I get out of this program in all honesty. Thankyou for sharing as well

I am also excited to see this group.  I just started my 6th round of P90X.  I have been doing it for over 2 years.  I went vegetarian for fun in March of 2010 and mostly vegan in July 2010 after reading the China Study.  I read the Thrive Diet a couple of months into it and thought I might need some more protein, so started on the Vega WFHO and it gives me the boost I needed.  I will be checking in with the Doc next week and I am excited to do some bloodwork to see how it is affecting my health.

I love P90X and the results it gives me.  I look forward to see what Oliver has to say about P90X+.  I have done that program a couple of times too.

What do you think of p90x+? I have those as well and I'm gonna do those next if I don't just go right to insanity after regular p90x

Hey Seth, I found P90X+ to be more of a maintanance program for me.  It is a great break and I only do it for about 6 weeks.  It definitely gives a different strength (new muscles) to the core.  I mixed in Insanity for the cardio on occasion this last time.

Keep enjoying the X.

Breakfast:  Green Smoothie, a typical one incl:  ½ serving Vega sport or WFHO, pineapple, celery, cuq, tons of leafy greens, ginger, cilantro, hemp seeds, flax seed oil, chia seeds, coconut oil, raw honey, chilled herbal tea as the liquid, and a few superfoods—vitamineral greens, maca, mesquite, lucuma & dulse.   Lunch:  coconut yogurt (made from young coconuts), raw granola and fruit.  Dinner:  hummus, guac, salsa, +/or nut/seed pate with veggies, crackers OR chili OR some other typical veg dinner.  Second dinner:  a huge green salad with ½ avo, sprouts, veggies & fresh lemon juice.  Although I don’t obsess too much about how much protein I get, I have been trying to add more in since starting P90X again.  I probably get 45-60g/day.   I tend to eat a high fat diet as it seems to agree with me, and well, I love avos, coconuts, nuts & seeds.  I don’t count calories, but I would have to guess 2000/day, being that eat so much (healthy) fat and I  have a treat or 2 every day. J.   I eat min 60% raw.  … I always have the sport performance optimizer before each workout—I love that stuff!!

has anyone done plyo barefoot?  i do all of my workouts barefoot (on a yoga mat), but given the impact of plyo i'm wondering if it's a wise thing to do.  i've done it barefoot twice, and aside from very sore calves and a blood blister, so so far so good!

Kristin, I always do plyo barefoot and haven't had any issues. It just feels better to me and I tend to launch off and land on the front part of my feet instead of my heels.

Hello Everyone,

I have a question about my heart rate monitor.

From what I have read I should be in the 50-80% range of  maximum heart rate.  Does that sound right?

Also I would like to Thank  Vegan Diaries for starting this group!
