Developed by the original P90X^® creator, Tony Horton

Currently in development, P90X2™ is the sequel to Beachbody's best-selling workout program, P90X. With P90X2 workout, P90X grads can get even stronger, more flexible, and more ripped. This program is designed for maximum intensity and efficiency. In fact, this completely new 90-day program features cutting-edge workouts so intense, we only let you do them
5 days a week.

Watch for more exciting details and the upcoming release date. Be one of the first to experience the long-awaited follow-up to P90X.

Muscle Confusion™ 2
If you doubt your muscles could feel any more confused than the first time you did P90X—you ain't seen nothin' yet! P90X2 is going to up the ante with movements, sets, supersets, and complexes that are going to have your muscles so baffled, they won't know which way is up.

Less is More
As intensity increases, training volume needs to decrease to allow more time for recovery, so in P90X2, you'll only be training 5 days per week. Remember what you learned in P90X: The body can only grow stronger at rest. This time around, you're earning more of it. Hard training is all about efficiency, and P90X2 has evolved to the point where less really is more.

P90X2 Workout

The P90X2 program is made up of three phases, each focusing on a different aspect of your fitness: Foundation, Strength, and Performance, that will help your body evolve in ways you never imagined. You'll begin by improving your foundation, where instability plays a large role. Then you'll build strength and, finally, power, which all translates to improved performance.

Expanding on the original program, P90X2 workout embraces the latest research in applied science to keep your muscles "confused" even longer. The end result is a program that everyone from 5K aspirants to professional athletes can benefit from.

What gives P90X2 its edge?

Dr. Marcus Elliott and the Peak Performance Project.
In order to take P90X2 to the next level, we enlisted the services of Dr. Marcus Elliott. One of the most sought-after trainers in the world of sports, Dr. Elliott now presides over Beachbody's Scientific Advisory Board and has lent his expertise to the evolution that is P90X2. Until now, his groundbreaking training techniques have only been available to world-class athletes. With P90X2, now you can take them home.

Processed Foods, Metabolism, and your digestion - Part 2

So here are the foods that I got on sale:

Sweet Potatoes(.79lb) 3 large
bagels(2 for 1 bag)
arnold whole wheat bread (2 for 1 loaf),
turkey meat (2 for 1 packs)
blueberry sale (1lb)
fat free organic milk (2.99 gallon)
split breast chicken (2 for 1 packs - 3 breasts each)
pure protein bars(10 @ $1 a piece - regular $1.39-$1.49)
tomato(from my garden- having a surplus at the moment)

For me this is a good savings, I support my food with my beachbody business so I an afford of few extras, but this would still be low or what I consider a good deal.

Ok, let's break this down into categories that will be helpful in planning.

Starchy Complex Carbohydrates Not Processed:
Sweet Potatoes(.79lb) 3 large

Starchy Complex Carbohydrates Processed:
bagels(2 for 1 bag)
arnold whole wheat bread (2 for 1 loaf),

Fibrous Complex Carbohydrates:
tomato(from my garden- having a surplus at the moment)

Proteins Processed:
turkey meat (2 for 1 packs)

Simple Carbohydrates:
blueberry sale (1lb)
split breast chicken (2 for 1 packs - 3 breasts each)

Milk:
fat free organic milk (2.99 gallon)

Carb/Protein:
pure protein bars(10 @ $1 a piece - regular $1.39-$1.49)

Now lets talk about my favorite subject, digestion. The goal for maximum nutrition and fat loss is to have things moving smoothly in your digestive tract. When your digestive track is slowed or blocked you are not getting the nutrition you need that will give you the energy to complete workouts or just do your daily job. You will fatique. This will slow that wonderful metabolism down causing the fat burning process to come to a screaching halt. This is why you see people working out like crazy, go wreck their nutrition with tons of processed foods and it kills their metabolism thus killing their fat burning machines, thus no weight loss or muscle gains.

Rob your muscles of nutritients when they want it and watch how fast they rebel. It's a chain effect. If you aren't feeding your muscles adiquatly because you are eating to much digestive blocking foods close together, the muscle may look elsewhere for muscle building proteins. Guess where it looks? Itself. Muscle will canabolize itself for the proteins it needs to survive. This in turn will slow your metabolism even slower. The more lean muscle you have the faster your metabolism will be, thus burning fat.
The goal in this blog is to analyze the food so that all the slow digesting/processed foods are eatin in such a way as to reduce the slowness that may occur from eating it. This goes hand in hand with budgeting for food. Many processed foods are on sale.That is why many people are over weight. What I want to show is how to eat some of those things and still reduce body fat.
This blog is not intended to promote processed foods and would advice to reduce all of your processed food intake and only eat whole foods. That would be my goal. These are steps to help mitigate the intake when you get the two for one turkey meat.

Quick lesson on macro nutrients:

Carbohydrates: fuel for your body
Protein: slow burning fuel used for repairing your bodyFat: The glue that holds both carbohydrates and proteins together

Starchy Carbohydrates: high powered fuel
Non-Starchy Carbohydrates: normal fuel

Some definitions
Non-Processed: not run through a machine, picked from a plant, it walked, it flew, it swam and went straight to our plate. chicken breasts, carrots, etc.
Processed: it was run through some sort of machine, it's has wrapper on it, you don't see it in nature. breads, protein bars, candy bars, luncheon meats, etc.

Now that we have some definitions that match my grocery list lets talk about the overal plan.

Rules:
You want to reduce the number of processed foods you eat back to back OR the amounts. If I have bread(processed ) in the morning, then I dont have a processed food for my next snack. Spread them out.
If you have two processed foods a day then try to eat more fiborous foods with or in between your processed food meals. Preferably with. You should acutally eat a good amount of fiborous foods anyway, but especialy on high processed food days.

Part 3: I'll talk more about how to use the carbohydrates as fuel and combining that with processed foods and how it travels through the digestive track.
