The P90x nutrition guide is actually very good and it gives you a few different options to follow. If the nutrition plan is faulty, the exercise plan will not deliver the results you desire. You have to stick to the nutrition plan to gain the best results. The P90X Nutrition Guide is divided into three phases: the Fat Shredder; the Energy Booster; and the Endurance Maximizer.Eat nutritiously. The P90X program burns a lot of calories an in order to have the stamina and energy for this program you will need to eat a healthy balanced diet. Resist the temptations for “just one” helping of something you know you shouldn’t be eating. Refined flours and sugars will hinder your ability to complete the program, so read labels carefully.

...as scientists discover more about how the immune system works, they are finding evidence that it is the complex interaction of nutrients in real food that helps the body build its defenses against disease and infection. They even warn that large doses of some supplements such as selenium, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin B6 and vitamin E may even harm and suppress the immune response..

Hi Bob,

it would depend on person to person and it would depend on the state of your intestines. If it already has good intestinal fauna then no problem. but if it doesn't yet, it might take some time to clean, detoxify and be populated with the good bacteria.

feeling lighter now. can't wait to measure after another week!

Kefir is supposed to populate the intestine with beneficial probiotics. Does anyone have any idea how long it takes after one begins drinking kefir for the intestines to become fully populated with the beneficial probiotics?

hey guys,
I'll be following and will be posting my results here from time to time.

If you can, please post your results too!

Let's all do this together!

My starting weight: 138 lbs
Body Fat Percentage = 34% ( this is my estimate from getting a measurement of 2" when squeezing the fat on my thighs)

Bust: 37
Waist: 31.5
Hips: 35.5
Arms: 11

My goal is to lost at least 10 pounds within 4 weeks. I might ramp it up with a more precise diet program but for now I will stay with what i eat daily. Just the normal controlled portions <img src="http://www.yourkefirsource.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" />

I'll be back in a week!

hey Gi,

just registered.

will make a thread now <img src="http://www.yourkefirsource.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" />

Have you seen this new product from MP?

It's his personal workout where he teaches you everything step by step, no matter how unfit you are.

And no, this is not for people that want to bulk up.

and Yes, this is definitely fit for women.

I've been following it for a few days and I'm loving it so far.

I've done p90x and regular weight training and yoga, but this video course of his is really simpler than all of those.

It's really cheap too, unlike a p90x program or even equipments. It's on sale right now but it's limited until he reaches 99 members.

Definitely worth your time. Try it.

I asked a friend of mine (katie) to try it out too, I'll ask her to post her results here from time to time. Why don't you join her?

Why not me? Because I've been training for years, and it would be unbalanced for me to post results.

He is the real deal as most of you got his kefir grains. He is a real trainer and straight to the point with this stuff. Just take a look at his video.

Check out MP's NEW Ultimate Efficient Workout now!

I found this seller of kefir grains plus video. Might want to check it out if you're looking for some. To see kefir grains seller click here.

Hi! if anyone's in New York you might want to drop by Finger Lakes. It's extremely beautiful there this time of the year. And if watching the different colors of the leaves signaling the arrival of autumn is not enough for you, this place is just great for wine tasting and cheese.

One particular place the Finger Lakes Dexter Creamery will showcase its farmstead kefir cheese, cultured with living kefir grains and handcrafted with raw milk.

Now doesn't that sound like a family trip worth going to? <img src="http://www.yourkefirsource.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_biggrin.gif" title=":D" class="bb_smilies" />

Wanted to share with you kefir lovers a lovely salad recipe.

- 2 lb (1 kg) fingerling potatoes, cut in half lengthwise
- ¼ cup (50 mL) olive oil, divided
- 1 tsp (5 mL) salt
- ¼ tsp (1 mL) pepper
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) fresh thyme
- 4 hard-cooked eggs, quartered
- 3 onions, thinly sliced
- 3 green onions, sliced
Dressing:
- ½ cup (125 mL) kefir or buttermilk
- ½ cup (125 mL) thick yogourt (Greek)
- ½ tsp (2 mL) salt
- ¼ tsp (1 mL) pepper
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ (50 mL) extra virgin olive oil, or more to taste

1. In a large bowl combine potatoes with half the olive oil and the salt, pepper and thyme. Spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast at 400F/200C for 30 to 45 minutes until tender.
2. Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a large, heavy skillet and cook onions until well browned.
3. Combine potatoes with onions and eggs.
4. For dressing, whisk together kefir, yogourt, salt, pepper, garlic and oil. Adjust seasoning to taste. Drizzle over salad. Sprinkle with green onions. Makes 8 servings

as long as you know what it is, the correct kefir pronunciation doesn't really matter. But maybe we should have a poll on what it should be. Like should it be kefir or kifer or kiefer or keefer, etc. etc.

what do you guys think? <img src="http://www.yourkefirsource.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_razz.gif" title=":P" class="bb_smilies" />

Sorry to do this to you guys and gals, but found this article and all i can say is poor kids!

That's why I always believe making kefir at home is not only the best and healthiest way, it's probably the SAFEST too.

i think it's Kefir. Ofcourse i'm a little biased since i spell it as kefir. <img src="http://www.yourkefirsource.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_mrgreen.gif" title=":mrgreen:" class="bb_smilies" />

and just in time for school opening too!

It's that time of the year again...
no i didn't mean christmas... i meant FLU season!!!

good thing for us we have kefir to fight off bad bacteria
if you still believe probiotics isn't the answer read this excerpt

Eighty percent of your immune system is located in your digestive system, so--it makes perfect sense that probiotics would be very effective at warding off cold and flu viruses

Remember, a robust immune system is your number one defense system against ALL disease, and in order to keep your immune system in top working order you must have a healthy balance of good to bad bacteria in your gut (the optimal balance is about 85 percent “good bacteria” and 15 percent “bad”).

and this

In many cultures, probiotic-rich food and drinks, such as the fermented superfoods natto, kefir, lassi (an Indian yogurt drink) and sauerkraut, are an integral part of the daily diet.

If you eat a diet rich in fermented foods like these that have NOT been pasteurized (pasteurization will kill the probiotics), then you will likely enjoy great digestive, and immune system, health.

cheers and take care of your health everyone!

can't wait to give it a try! <img src="http://www.yourkefirsource.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_mrgreen.gif" title=":mrgreen:" class="bb_smilies" />

saw this article that is very fitting here.

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria normally present in the digestive tract. They are vital for proper digestion, strong P vitamin activity, and also perform a number of other useful functions, such as synthesizing vitamin K, help with regulating hyaluronidase, and preventing the overgrowth of yeast and bad bacteria. The beneficial bacteria most often used in supplements are acidophilus and bifidobacteria but there are many more including B.Bifidum, B.Longum, S.Thermophilus, L.Plantarum, and Lactococcus lactis. Thanks to advertisements, many more people have become aware of probiotics in yogurt, but unfortunately, consider them only useful for digestive regularity.

Although some people who have a problem with dairy can eat yogurt or other cultured dairy products like buttermilk, some cheeses and kefir, many get their food-source probiotics from supplements and cultured or fermented foods which also contain various types and amounts of beneficial bacteria. These foods include sauerkraut and tempeh.

thanks for the post. it is a nice read.

I had the same problems. And until now i'm not really sure how you're supposed to pronounce it. <img src="http://www.yourkefirsource.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_mrgreen.gif" title=":mrgreen:" class="bb_smilies" />
