Comments on: How I Got Sick From P90X http://www.dadtrek.com/993/sick-from-p90x/ The journey to becoming a better husband and dad... Wed, 28 Jul 2010 06:09:53 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Dawn http://www.dadtrek.com/993/sick-from-p90x/#comment-1149 Dawn Mon, 17 May 2010 20:24:41 +0000 http://www.dadtrek.com/?p=993#comment-1149 Jon, Your blog is great! It exudes honesty about P90X and I like it. My husband and I have been doing P90X together (although he is a few weeks ahead of me) but he is doing the classic workouts, I am doing the Lean program. I find that I have plenty of energy in the morning to work out, but then come the afternoon I am so tired all I want to do is sleep. I get to the point where I say bump it lets go out to eat because I don't feel like cooking. BUT, I also am not eating large lunches. Like you I eat small breakfasts and lunches and snack in between, and have a large dinner because that is how I grew up eating. I know for a fact I am not getting the right amount of calories into my system, I just don't know where I can add more. I am not a fish person, so that is out. I enjoy the recovery drink as well, which helps me immensely after my workouts. I am getting ready for week 4 and my husband is on week 7 or 8...he is constantly feeling nauseous and I tell him he is a man and needs to eat more than what he is eating. If we are burning 600 calories per workout, that explains it! I really appreciate your blog and will follow it through! Thank you for your honesty! I am sure there are a lot of people out there feeling the same way! Jon,

The only issue that I am having is that I feel that I am eating too much. I am 5"8, 130 pounds and I am eating about 1600 calories a day. I am constantly hungry. I eat a wide variety of fruit, veggies and protein daily. What do you suggest? My goal is to get lean and toned. Any advice would be much appreciated!

I think in my case it was lack of calories. I was trying SO HARD to eat properly, but I wasn't getting enough calories each day. Eventually I learned that "do your best and forget the rest" doesn't mean eating perfectly. Instead I learned to eat better. :) That’s a really good point about seeing a doctor.

And drink lots and lots of water. I drink like a gallon of water a day. if it keeps up you can always get a blood sample drawn and they can go through and tell you if you are lacking something like iron or whatever. I got one done and it only costed me $60 after everything. It helped alot. I was missing lots of iron lol. I noticed a huge difference after getting more iron. not to spit more vegan stuff out but one thing that I normally do to keep me energized durning the day is that I carry around a little ziplock bag of several types of nuts,seeds, sugarless dried bberries and stuff. try to not seed dry rosted salted stuff.

But then my body got used to the fact it was gonna get pushed everyday, and it got a bit better. Not that i got used to the exercise, but just exercising in general.

There's a lot of good, unbiased advice to be found there from some very educated people! That’s some good advice you found in the Nutrition Fanatics thread :) I’m a semi-regular there.

I've been doing the X off and on for about 2 yrs. now, but I'm now on week 5 of doing ALL the workouts, most without pauses! Anyway, I eat a good breakfast, do my workout then I have a PROTEIN drink. I find these are crucial...a couple hundred cals, RIGHT after the workout. I have lunch at noon, then another shake around 2pm-3pm. dinner around 6 and I'm good. When I miss a drink, or have too small a meal, it affects me. recently I started getting a sore throat, but pushed through Plyo and I was fine the next day! So, P90X has been keeping me from getting sick. Thanks again! Really enjoy your blog!

It's easy to eat a ton of calories when eating greasy (fatty) foods... or when eating junk food or deserts. However when I cut out the junk, and cut down on the fat, suddenly 2,400 calories or more per day is a TON of food to eat. The good news is that my body is slowly adjusting to my new eating habits. When I haven't eaten something in a couple hours during the day, I start feeling hungry now. So it's getting easier. :D @Critter – I couldn’t agree more!
