Tuna steaks are pretty good and don't even really taste like fish if you grill them. Tilapia can be a good, not too fishy fish as well. If you are just done with fish all together, use chicken or other lean meats. It's important in the beginning of a new diet to be strict with your food choices. Now that you have been successful with your diet, you don't want to let go and go crazy, but if you eat less fish, I think you will be just fine. -Mike Hello Andi,

My husband started this program the 4 days after we got home from 29 days of living at a hospital with our 6 week premature daughter. Not only did our family benefit from him getting to work out at home rather than going to the gym, we all ate much healthier during the 90 day period. I did not do the work outs with my hubby but I did eat the same meals as he did. I have to say, just by doing that, I was able to lose a significant amount of my baby weight during those 90 days. My husband and I are ready to do the program again, however, after an entire 360 days after ending and following the P90X diet plan to the "T", I can not look at a piece of fish and not get sick to my stomach and want to give up on the meal plan totally. I am totally good with following the diet the same way as we did last time, but I need some help in finding a way to switch the fish out for something else for a good portion of the time. What do I need to consider in doing that and or what are my appropriate options? Thank you!!! Thank you so much for this program.

This calculation cannot be perfect for everyone, so if you have to make adjustments to see faster weight loss, you can do so. I would also recalculate your nutritional level once you start to see a drop in weight because you might end up at a lower caloric level. -Mike Hello Willie,

If you are in a hurry and can't make a full meal, this is when you can turn to the quick options. If you want to use P90X and gain weight, good weight, you really have to pay attention to the resistance workouts and you should probably skip to the last phase of the nutrition plan. You might have to make a few adjustments in terms of calories and carbs as well. The best thing to do would be to start the program, feel it out and make adjustments as you go. If you are not seeing the muscle weight gain like you want, you can reduce the cardio workout by a little. If weight loss is your goal, stick to the diet as is and lift moderately rather than heavy. -Mike Hello Al,

How can I lose weight on 3000 calories? My current caloric intake is 3200 and I weigh 248. I usually need to drop to 2100 calories and work out 5 times a week to lose weight (2 lbs a week). But after 12 weeks I am pretty tired. I am just starting P90X and the nutrition plan calls for around 3000 calories.

Take it from me, I hate to diet. I used to be all about junk food and fast food, so following the Nutrition plan to a T was extremely hard for me. I actually did for the first month, but then decided to just use the Nutrition Plan as a guide and it worked out well. Stick to the portions, definitely, and try and stick to foods that are either in the guide or close enough. Using the portions approach is much easier for someone who doesn't want to follow the plan bite by bite! Good Luck! -Mike Hello Ryan,

I wanted to know if i had to follow the nutritional guide to a T. If i use it as a guideline and cut out junk food and fast food will I still be able to achieve results?
