Vegan Zone
Are you interested in using a WHOLE FOODS, PLANT BASED diet as part of your health and fitness plan? With the links below, you’ll find the sections of teamRIPPED that will help you do that.
I used meats and whey protein products for the first 5 rounds of P90X and Insanity (a fat shredder high protein diet, a maintenance diet, and a bulking diet). But then I opened my mind to the health benefits of a whole foods, plant based diet and started an experiment to learn more about how it fits with intense training like P90X and Insanity.
So click these links to see where this journey has led me and many others on our team:

I am interested in it…..
Hey Coach Wayne, I just started p90x today and I’m set on doing the smoothies in the p90x food guide for my breakfasts. I was wondering what you thought about substituting Soy, Almond or Rice Milk instead of regular milk?
Sure Chris, you can sub soy, almond, or rice milk for regular milk. No problem!
Hi Coach Wayne,
I am planning to use this nutrition frame for my daniel fast next year! Thanks for widening the spectrum of possibility!
Good day
Ok quick question. Is it a good idea to start Asylum while doing the vegan diet? Or should I stay with p90x workouts.
Hey Fishgut, you can do any workout (including Asylum) on a whole food plant based diet. Go for it!
Coach,
Okay. I have been devouring the information on your site of late. I am about to finish my second round of P90X and am on your X2 Crew for the upcoming challenge. I am really trying to focus on nutrition for this challenge as this has been my absolute weakness.
I am very interested in learning more about the whole food plant based diet and incorporating those recipes not only in my diet, but that of my family as well. Other than the link you have provided above, what are some recommendations you have for how to prepare your home for following such a plan?
Thank you.
Hey Matthew, I think people have a misconception that going to a whole food plant based diet is some radical shift. It’s really not. We had to learn some new recipes and substitute some foods for others, but we found it to be way easier to “eat vegan” than we thought it would be. There are some foods you’ll have to stock up on that you probably don’t already have in your cupboard, but basically it just involves buying different foods at the store when you do your weekly shopping. Just like before, you have to plan what you will eat and get foods accordingly, but our kids hardly noticed that we were “eating vegan” because tasty food is tasty food — whether it has beans and rice and veggies in it or whether it has beans and rice and veggies and meat in it. It’s not much different, really.
I’m having a he’ll of a time “dialing” in my nutrition! I really don’t like most meat and chicken gets old real real real fast! Gonna investigate this approach. Very frustrated ending week 1 round 1. I’ve lost 5.5 pounds brought it on work outs but have struggled getting the protein. I as well due to this and working a rotating night to day shift have been getting 500 to few calories on fat shredder with carbs about 5% higher than should be. Not feeling energy drop but who can tell when working such horrible shifts. I’ll figure it out but just frustrated at the moment even with good results.
Coach Wayne,
I am looking to start my vegan diet for my next round of P90X, but I have a question. Is it better for a person who is 15-20% body fat to work on slimming down before gaining muscle? Or is their a way to do both at the same time?
Thanks,
Nate
Yes Nate, definitely get that body fat down where you want it before you focus on bulking up.
We recently went vegan too, as a result of watching the documentary “Forks Over Knives”. The hardest part for us is feeding our kids (3.5 and 5.5). But we came across kidsarevegantoo.com, which as been realy helpful and even has some common recipe conversions, such as what to substitute for eggs when cooking/baking.
