Hydroxycut messes with your liver. I would not suggest it. Maybe Acai berry, or some other type of antioxidant would be a better idea to get your metabolismgoing. Its also important to eat small meals/snacks every 3.5 hours instead of 3 large meals per day. When you dont eat every 3.5 hours, your body turns intostarvation mode, and metabolizes your food slower to account for the lack of food coming in. No offense, but at your height/weight, whey would not be a goodchoice. It is basically a weight gainer. If you make sure you eat the correct amount of protein daily, you wil be fine.
Post workout I would usually make some type of shake in the blender that consisted of ice, various fruits (esp. berries) maybe lo fat yogurt, skim milk. Justexperiment, you will get it right after a few. It also depends when you work out. If you work out in the morning, it is not a bad idea to have a normalbreakfast post workout. Muscle repair takes place as soon as you finish working out for about an hour. If you work out late at night, don't eat a big mealwhen you are done. When your body is at rest (sleeping), it does not process food and calories as fast as while you are awake. So late night workouts are bestfollowed by a protein bar or some type of fruit shake that is easier for the body to process. Stay away from putting fruit juices in it, they have addedsugars.
I will post some before and after pics tonight after work.
And I like the idea of holding eachother accountable. Lately I have not been able to find the motivation due to my crazy work schedule. But I need to get backon my p90-X grind bad! I gained almost 30 lbs back since last july when I finished it.
