Need help chose P90X Nutrition Plan

I am getting ready to start P90X - saw this plan has all 3 listed - How do I know what phase it is on or does it automatically change phases every 30 days?

The food or the exercise plan? The food plan has 3 phases, the 1st is a low carb high protein, the second is balanced and the third is more carbs. I'm a grad, but didn't follow the eating plan. It was too much food for me--that may explain why I didn't lose a single pound! You have to eat to lose--especially when you are working out hard. You will know when to move out of phase 1. You will crash without carbs after a while. Once you notice that you're getting extra tired and you aren't noticing any gains with the amount of weight you lift, I would switch to phase 2. For some people this is only a few days. Phase 2 is basically a well balanced diet. But, I would move on to phase 3 when you move to phase 3 in the exercise regime.

Good luck, press play and bring it!

The food plan - I searched P90X in diets came up with 4 options all member added the second one looks like it covers each of the 3 phases - so I chose that one for my diet plan. Just not sure if it really moves through the phases - it didn't ask me what phase I wanted. Thanks for the advice
