Dining with Tut

[kingtut]

I've heard mexico city is good, it's downtown on Larimer Street, haven't frequented the place tho so I can't comment personally. El Taco de Mexico sound good tho.

Define eating healthy batman.

I believe I've been there years back, when the wife worked (at a building, not the corner, haha) off Larimer.
I think it was pretty good, but not good enough (for my personal taste) to make the drive

[kingtut]

I don't recall the names but just the ones around DTC that my co-workers like to go to and I just go along.

If you're interested I can get you a copy. We can meet during lunch or something.

I hear ya. The problem (that I know see, that didn't before) is my perception of say, Mexican, would be different than Barn's, etc.
With that said, I like Los Dos Portillos (Holly and County Line). I used to like Mi Cocina (Sante Fe and Bellview), then it got all nasty. I also used to like El Lucero (Bellview and Federal), but that was years ago.
The Mexican joint near Park Meadows (that has the Marg limit) makes a pretty good chicken burrito. The Burrito Bar is hit or miss for me-- more hit than miss. What's the place on Broadway and 6th? Near the Imperial, and the Walmart/Sam's Club? That place is pretty good iirc. There's some others, but I can't remember them...

Heck yeah, if you're serious I'll take a copy:D
I work out and try to eat right (as best I can), but aren't counting calories, or on a serious regimen by any means.

Does this mean no ribs:(

Ya, I can get you a copy. I can have it ready for tomorrow. Let me know where you want to meet.

The first Phase, is Fat Shredder... This is the hardest phase because you really have to watch what you eat if you want the best result.

If you want to see results, you'll have to eat right. Otherwise, you'll get stronger but you'll probably won't be all ripped and shredded.

You do have one day off a week to rest and "eat what you want"... within reason of course. So, you can still have some ribs.

While P90X is a 90 day workout you may decide to alter your choice and timing of the phases for what works best for you.

Phase 1: Fat Shredder

This stage of the P90X diet focuses on a high protein, and is designed to rapidly reduce your body fat percentage. As this happens your available energy should also decrease. So, you shouldn’t extend this phase unless you aim to drop more fat, and if you feel like your energy level is enough to push hard during your daily workouts. If you already have low body fat and looking to gain more energy you should consider shortening the length of this phase. To determine your body fat currently, and during the program you may want consider purchasing our Body Fat Tester.

Phase 2: Energy Booster

This phase of the P90X diet is a more balanced mix of carbohydrates and protein with a lower amount of fat to achieve additional energy for performance. If you’re feeling energized, and making progress you are free to continue this phase for as long as you like.

Phase 3: Endurance Maximizer

Is an athletic diet An athletic diet of complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, and lower fat with the emphasis on more carbohydrates. It should only be initiated if you are seriously pushing your body. This stage must be earned. On the flip side some people hesitate to ever enter into this phase in fear of gaining weight from the additional carbs. Surprisingly they find that once they try this phase of the P90X diet they end up with even more energy allowing them to really “Bring it!”.

The 3 phases of the P90X diet are flexible and aim reduce fat, provide energy and give you long term success.

Man! I should be a P90X salesman... screw programming. LOL

I just love this program so much. EVERYONE should be doing it!

Nice dude! Well, I could use some [gut] fat shredding and some definite ripped-ness:lol: Tut needs all the help he can get...
My beer intake has been nearly vaporized, yet doing that hasn't helped as much as I thought:mad:

I'll shoot you a PM

[tsx_guy]

well crap batman.... thanks for being so vague. there is a vicious cycle when it comes to food.
food--->energy--->workout
too little food, you lose definition
too much food you get all chunky. what's a guy to do?

That's why there's a guide/formula.
Based on how big you are, how much you weigh, there are different levels of how much food/nutrients you need to take in for each Phase. Everything is all laid out for ya.

i weigh a shitload, i eat a lot, and park it on my *** all day. I don't drink tho, but old age is creeping up fast.

my biggest issue is accurately counting the # of calories i consume in a day.

[I`m Batman]

I park my a$$ all day at work too. So, we have something in common here. You just need about an hour a day, some dumbbells, pull-up bar, and yoga mat. As far as weight, I would follow whatever the guide say.

The first Phase is all about Fat Burning, so low carb. Your body will burn all you carbs first before it start burning fat, so low carb intake is important. Like the post above, you may feel that your energy level is low in this phase but it's necessary, if you have more to loose, you can extend Phase 1.

I'm no expert so I don't want to give you the wrong answer. Everyone is different, but I'm sure that this program will work for everyone if they stick to it.
I'm sure you and find your answers on their support website. beachbody.com
looks like they have a chat room under community & support, I'm sure the experts can answer all of your questions.

Tony, the P90X guy was 45 when he did the video. I think he's 50 now and he's still ripped. Age is just a number.

k..dumb question....if I don't eat carbs how the heck am I going to have any energy?

I already hit the gym for about 65 minutes a day.

You don't eat carbs!? What? How do you stay away from them?
Let me break this down: 65 min. at gym for 6i =
45min. stalking/staring at women + 10 min. warm up + 5 min. fast paced walk + 5 min. cool down

[I`m Batman]

You have just enough to get you through. I think it's about 20% of your daily intake.
Phase 2 and 3 is when you start eating more carbs for energy.

Phase 1: Fat Shredder

This stage of the P90X diet focuses on a high protein, and is designed to rapidly reduce your body fat percentage. As this happens your available energy should also decrease. So, you shouldn’t extend this phase unless you aim to drop more fat, and if you feel like your energy level is enough to push hard during your daily workouts.


I'm OK with low carb. I felt tired during the day but when it's time to workout, I'm fine and pumped up. Can't wait for Phase 2 and 3 though.

close tut, I don't warm up or cool down tho. I'm usually asked to leave before then.

I think i'll start with a low carb diet...hope it doesn't kill me. I love bread...
