Fresh90’s Weblog

I am catching up on blogging these days.   What we did on day 69 instead of Kenpo was Ab Ripper, took a rest on day 70 (weekend) then got back to routin on day 71, 72 and 73.    I stopped after 30 minutes of plyo on day 72 as I was too tired to continue.     Engaged in some Passover food nonsense and it really caught up with me.   Today will be doing Cardio X as well.

Here’s a gem that was passed on to me.  

I’m happy to be doing cardio now!   

In my inbox I receive newsletters from Beach Body.   Today was about getting a wide variety of fruits and vegetables in our diets.  What is perplexing is the P90X diet guidelines only recommend 1 serving of fruit and 2 servings of vegetables a day, far and way below what the USDA recommends.   Now how can this be?  

It is  disturbing that Beach Body appears to “keep up” with the latest in nutrition, etc. yet their diet guidelines are SO behind the times with animal based high protein diets and low fruit and vegetable consumption and ESPECIALLY all the supplement pushing.   

I guess they have to push those supplements because of their stance on a low plant food diet.   Although supplements just can’t take the place of the nutrients in plant foods, especially FRESH plant foods.   So I guess the outside of the body will look fine but the inside is gushing with recovery drinks, soy protein isolates, artificial flavorings & colorings and a bunch of animal protein.   

It is a good thing our bodies are forgiving.    It doesn’t take long for our bodies to repair the damage of unhealthy diets, as long as we feed them correctly with health promoting foods.
