The 'diet' is simple. Overload on fruits n veggies and try to stick to clean carbs (whole wheat etc) and limit the red meat. My wife and I go through an obscene about of veggies during the week.

No fast food
no soda
Lots of water- I drink about 200 oz a day. That is a LOT but I have worked up to it over about 24 months.
Definitely for sure every day...eat breakfast. I Do plain oatmeal with a bit of brown sugar
Protein Shakes ---see above...make with 1% milk and add a banana for recovery. maybe a TBSP of natural p-nut butter.

Thanks. Corn OK? For veggies, I don't do much other than corn, green beans, and baby carrots, I am a meat and potatoes guy!

Just do google search for the p90x diet plan and you'll find it.

That is all I heard.... WTF....

I have no complaints at the shape I am in, but have seriously considered doing the P90X for the next bit to lean up for our trip to Mexico/the start of the boating season....

That said, when the heat hits...I need red meat... Don't know what it is, but my body craves it.... I'll eat a T-bone or NYS 2-3 nights a week....you're killing me....
