The ones that taste gross are generally soy based, and I'd stay away from all soy based protein products including protein bars, as soy can stimulate estrogen production or something like that.
EDIT: The stuff tastes pretty good. If you want to get a really smooth texture, trying using a little Bullet mixer. |
Yep, that is the stuff I got at Costco as well, I think that it only comes in Decadent Chocolate flavor.
As for the P90X diet plan, we aren't killing ourselves trying to follow it. Biggest thing for us was to cut down on the carbs, increase the protein (lots more chicken, fish and eggs) and eliminate all the junk (pop, chocolate bars, chips, etc).
We mainly use the Nutrition Guide as just that, a guide. There are some good recipes in there, but the important part to follow is the portion plan part. For example, Phase 1 Level 2, 7 servings of Protein, 3 servings of Dairy, 1 serving of Fruit, 4 servings of Vegetables, 1 Carb, 1 Fat, etc. If you stick to those guidelines, it will be a hell of a lot easier then following a meal plan, especially if you have a family.
We just finished Week 3 and are into the first Recovery Week. It has been huge commitment for us, but has been going really well.
If someone knows a site that can host a 396 MB PDF file, I will upload the Nutrition Guide there.
