Food is a very important part of our lives. Well, it’s a little more than important—it’s mandatory. If you are a human with no interest in food, you likely won’t be around for long. Needless to say, the nutrition plan on P90X2 garners a lot of interest. People who may be interested in the workouts wonder what the “diet” will require of them, whether or not they’ll be able to maintain it, and whether they might actually enjoy it. Well, the good news is that P90X2 meals and the nutrition plan in general is more flexible than ever and offers numerous tasty options to make the lifestyle changes easier than you might anticipate.
P90X2 Meals: New and Different
You won’t find the same meals here as you did with the P90X plan, in part because there are no “meal plans” in this program. Instead, Beachbody trusts you to take the extensive food lists and recipes to design your own P90X2 meals and snacks. For many people, this dose of freedom is what separates this nutrition plan apart from other, highly-structured and difficult to follow options. You eat what you like, within reason. If it’s on the food list included within the pages of the Nutrition Guide, it’s approved!

Like the P90X Nutrition Guide, this one is loaded with good recipes. There are recipes for every meal, including some for smoothies. There are vegan recipes and grain-free options as well.

Making Your Own P90X2 Meals
As I said, if you find it on the food list, it’s yours to use. This means you can create your own favorite P90X2 meals. Make sure to adhere to the suggested portion sizes and to stay within your level, but have some fun. Fitness and nutrition plans are only effective when you are able to stick with them. The idea behind having such flexibility with this program is that you will stick with the things you’ve learned for life. When you see eating right as a chore, you will do it begrudgingly. But, when you like the things you are eating, it’s a totally different ballgame.
