When their body wants something, they know to eat it. They’ve reached a point in their fitness where all the sugar and fat addictions, hormone imbalances, and weird cravings have dropped away-and with them, the need to count calories. Intuitive eating is standard practice for many athletes (and healthy people in general).
The trick to accomplishing this is something called “intuitive eating,” the ability to listen to your body’s cues so that you make the right decisions nutritionally. It provides the tools and the guidance, but you call the shots, designing the absolutely perfect eating plan-for you. That’s the goal with the P90X3 nutrition plan. In other words, for most people, the only truly successful, long-term diet plan has to be built around their personal wants and needs-so it needs to be a joint project involving the nutritionist and the user. There are plenty of plans that tell you exactly what to eat-but what if you don’t like those things, or don’t have time to cook them? And then there are intolerances, allergies, ethical concerns, cooking prowess (or lack thereof), kitchen access, and how much time you can devote to your diet.
