Diet is King!

Tony Horton, the creator of P90X, has a saying - "Abs are made in the kitchen." That means you can do 5 workouts a day, sweat, furrow your brow and grind your teeth, but unless your diet is right you are not going the get the great results you could truly achieve.


I've had conversations with some folks who have told me P90X didn't work for them only to find out they were still hitting the drive thru, eating late, wrong, and completely off the grid! Every Beachbody program comes with a nutrition guide just for that system. P90X has one. Insanity has one. Turbo Fire and Turbo Jam have it. And when you join the Beachbody Club one of your free gifts is a recipe book...and you gain access to everything the Team Beachbody site has to offer - including the new meal planner.


I know that some of the time the nutrition guide books look like rocket science but a simple rule of thumb is 40/40/20 - 40% Protein, 40% Carbs, 20% Fat. Follow that and you should be all right. Also there are many sites like myfitnesspal.com and dailyburn that allow you to track your calorie intake and break down exactly what you're putting into your body. They even have apps for your smart phones.


Remember to eat clean. I know its not always possible but what we eat is one of the few things in this world we have control over. So stick with it, push play, eat right, and success is right around the corner!


You can do it!
