P90x - Day 10

# Week 1 Quick Results 1. 1 pound gained- probably water gain due to Creatine
2. 2 1/4" lost - probably not significant due to measuring inaccuracy
3. Did all videos except StretchX and 1 AbRipperX
4. I did 4 runs of 16.5 miles - the weather was great (missed my long run (double digit miles) due to having Fireman's training both Saturday and Sunday)

I am looking forward to my half marathon in a couple weeks and now focusing more on eating cleaner without the convenience foods. I keep trying to bring it and one up the previous week.

hi, have u heard of cyclical ketogenic diet? its 6 days of very low carb and high fats and proteins and one day of cheat where u deliberately eat lager amounts of carbs. the insulin spike helps keep your metabolism up and keep thyroid gland in check. Weightloss increases by 5times.

@ilovethechallenge I have heard of it, but while it may work for some, it would not be a long term way of eating for me. Soon the carb days would be two days, and then three days. The carb cravings would come back, and overall I believe I would more miserable for it. My athletic performance and metabolism is going well after 7 years.

With my weight loss being almost 5 pounds per week, I am not sure I wanted it to be much faster. The goal of Atkins is not speedy weight loss, but permanent.

In one of your previous videos you had stated that you had a little bit of loose skin. One of the things I have heard about p90x was that it can help tighten that loose skin because it lowers your body fat % enough to where the sub dermal fat no longer makes the skin appear as flabby. If you notice any improvement please let us know. thx

Well exercise and P90x in specific can help rebuild the muscle underneath the skin and improve one's BF %. It won't repair damaged skin -- i.e. skin that has lost its elasticity from overstretching and stretchmarks. I noticed no change in my loose skin before or during P90x.

Go Bowulf ! So, you are extremely analytical about this, and I'm interested in following your progress -- keep it up !

Thanks for watching, and I hope my results are as impressive as yours!

With creatine you shouldn't take it with anything or have anything in your stomach when you take it. That's why you didn't notice a difference on or off it. If you take your creatine drink an hour after shakes, and 2 hrs after meal, wait 30-45 mins you will notice a difference.
