Comments on: Why Can’t I Lose Weight? http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/blog/2008/08/05/why-can%e2%80%99t-i-lose-weight/ Sat, 20 Mar 2010 01:41:22 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: James http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/blog/2008/08/05/why-can%e2%80%99t-i-lose-weight/comment-page-1/#comment-2908 James Sun, 26 Jul 2009 01:13:34 +0000 http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/blog/?p=78#comment-2908 In my earlier statement I mentioned that I am doing EVERYTHING right, so yes I am following a diet. Now I will admit that I was eating the amount of carbs that the diet says to, which is 50%, but I am a little confused about that, but I assume it means anywhere between 200 and 300 carbs a day. If I am wrong, let me know, but I talk to my coach on the phone and told him in detail exactly what I was eating, and he said that I was eating good. That was before I started the program. It's now week 12 and my before and after photos look the same. In my earlier statement I mentioned that I am doing EVERYTHING right, so yes I am following a diet.

Since you are gaining muscle and feeling better, you are doing the workouts as you should, but are you following the Nutrition Plan? This is actually very important especially if your goal is to get your body fat percentage down. It could be that you are eating too many carbs. Carbs are what your body uses for energy. When you have used up all the carbs you have eaten, your body turns to your fat reserves. The key is to eat a small amount of carbs per day so when you are working out, your body can take from those fat reserves for energy. Also, protein is very important for muscle recovery. As you start to build muscle, your metabolism will increase allowing your body to burn fat more efficiently. So all in all, your diet is very important when it comes to body fat percentage. Stick to the P90X Lean program. Giving up now my just result in you giving up on the next program you try. I hope I was able to be more helpful! -Mike Hi James,

I am on week 10 of p90x lean routine and yet I am seeing small muscle results and I am feeling better, I haven't lost 1 inch of fat from my waist, 1 percent of body fat, or a pound on the scale. Now I pretty sure I am doing everything right. I've talked to my coach and he couldn't help me, so I don't know what to do. I went to beachbody.com and seen a few people who have the same body type as me and lost good weight, but I don't think they did p90x. I was woundering if after this 12 weeks, should I do Turbo Jam or ChalenChallange or something like that. Or just do the Classic p90x routine. Please help cause theres never anyone on the beachbody chatrooms. I’m having a similar problem.

So, you say you’ve actually gained inches. Are we talking fat or muscle? Alot of times we hear back from people reporting that they have actually gained weight but they are not sure how or why. In most of these cases in particular, they’ve gained weight because they’ve gained muscle mass. Muscle weighs more than fat, as you might know, and that was the explanation for them/ Somehow it seem like this may not be the case in your situation? How is overall your appearance now compared to the day you started P90X? Hi Ker,
