That's basically it. I don't really have caffeine sensitivity as far as most teas and coffees go, but the pills get me all crazy. Best bet is to just get the Green Tea Extract capsules or drops.

I absolutely despised ephedra, stuff drove me nuts.. I know that it'll subside after a week or two but I just can't stand feeling like that for even an hour

yeah the green tea pills say to take two in the morning and two with lunch, i took one in the morning and will probably take the second at lunch, it's not too bad in a smaller dose. and i can handle the caffine way better than the f-ing gitters and insane heartbeat you get from ephedra, a few years ago i was all about it i would do in in cycles month on 2 weeks off, i bought a s ton when it became illegal, i still have probably 3 or 4 unopened bottles that i most likely won't ever use.

I cant really chew anything right now and its damn hard opening your freezer or having a drawer full of beef jerky or protein bars and not be able to eat anything. Pretty much ive only eaten mash potatoes, mac and cheese, and ice cream. Ive lost about 15 pounds so far. But I wasn’t doing p90x to lose weight. Im a decently thin guy I just wanted to get in "high school" shape and have a base to build a little muscle. So now I havent worked out in a month, been on a low protein diet, and lost weight which I was hoping to use to build muscle. Not what I had planned but I think im going to officially start in April nonetheless.

I am sorry my friend. If you do a search in the parking lot you will find a similar topic in a thread started by me.

Been mugged before and it sucked.

Re: P90x

Moral of this thread - DO NOT PUT "mlm" at the beginning of your screen name...you'll be seriously injured.

Hope both of you guys recover quickly.

Re: P90x

Went to the gym this morning and it reminded me why I don't like to workout at home. It could have easily been an all female hot body contest in there this morning. To any hot chick that just works out in shorts and a sports bra, I thank you!

Somewhere, they're making a thread about a drooling pig that smelled up the gym this morning.

LOL! Probably but I was not alone. One guy looked at me and just shook his head.
