Grocery Shopping for P90X

Prior to starting P90X, I pulled out all the food from my pantry and sorted them by what I am allowed to eat based on the P90X Nutritional Plan Guide. I organized the pantry with a shelf for my own food. If you have a family with little kids, you still need their food but keep them away from your zone (away from temptation). I went to the grocery and scouted for the foods I could eat and just to see what was available. Before I was more of an impulse grocery shopper, I would buy groceries based on how hungry I was at the time. Being hungry is NOT a good thing to be while food shopping, so have a healthy snack before you go so you won't have a melt down when you see a bag of Cheetos. No point buying something you won't eat just because it's healthy but do broaden your palate if possible. I did notice that the healthier the food was, it also cost more. It was an eye opening experience. I started to read more food labels and comparison shopping. For those 90 days, I can say my grocery shopping habits have changed for the better.

I shopped around for a supplement shake but could not find anything locally. Some tasted gritty, or made you feel bloated or gassy, or was just a filler with no nutritional value in it. My wife also could not digest artificial sugars that well so that eliminated a lot of the shakes. I looked into BEACHBODY's SHAKEOLOGY shake and was impressed with the amount of research and natural ingredients was put into it. Like the P90X at first, I was skeptical about it but it did have a money back guarantee so I made the gamble and ordered the SHAKEOLOGY individual packets of the Berry and Chocolate. The berry was ok but I was more of chocolate person, I liked it because it tasted more like a dark chocolate shake which I love. My wife and I would make a smoothie with bananas and peanut butter and it helps us get through the morning. Yes, it did cost more than those supplement shakes you get from the nutrition stores but it also provided more nutritional value than those other shakes. It is my treat in the morning, a chocolate smoothie for breakfast.
