OK, the green beans had oil, and the arugula had some dressing, so it's not perfect, but still only protein and vegetables. No wine, no bread basket. We'll see what the scale says tomorrow morning!
Great blog! It will be interesting to see how you progress with Dukan + P90X. We are both around the same weight, and I'm exercising quite a bit as well. I have the P90X at home - but have never tried - perhaps I may!!! Do you find that you have enough energy while on a low carb eating plan? I noticed that you eat a few things that aren't typically 'dukan', is that to supplement your exercise?
ReplyDeleteAnyhow! Great work so far! Can't wait to see your progress!

Thanks Heather! I know I am eating a few things that aren't exactly Dukan, but I feel like I need a little bit of carbs right before a workout, so that's why I've been having the almonds or sweeter veggies right before/after the workout. I did the P90X diet when I did P90X the first time, but I wanted something even stricter, because I had been so slack recently. The P90X diet itself is very high protein, low carb in the first month: 5 servings of protein, 2 dairy, 2 veggies, 1 fruit, 1 carb, 1 condiment, plus a snack, an exercise bar, and a drink.
ReplyDeleteAs for energy and P90X, I've been fine. I love the program, highly recommend it!
