This is even true with Insanity and it's crazy anaerobic sets, though something slightly less intense might be more ideal (though we have kick ass results in test groups of Insanity on a deficit). <br /><br />The key is to do a program where you're less at risk of becoming chronically overtrained, which is easier to do if you are undereating while creating a lot of muscle breakdown because it can trigger emergency hormonal cascades that can lead to central nervous system panic. <br /><br />No matter what you choose, the trick is to get plenty of nutrients in a minimum of calories as you want to enhance recovery as much as possible without over or under eating.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-56163801060084831922012-09-20T10:01:14.745-06:002012-09-20T10:01:14.745-06:00Steve, I read your Losing Weight with P90X modific...Steve, I read your Losing Weight with P90X modification. Is this what you would recommend for a generally fit guy who still has body fat to lose? I ask because in a recent video chat you mentioned that Body Beast could be modified with a caloric deficit, but it wasn't ideal. Which of the Beachbody family of products do you think works best with a caloric deficit for reasonably fit individuals?Ryannoreply@blogger.com
