It's a lifetime way of eating, healthy things as close to nature as possible. (ie, fruits, veggies, whole grains, beans, lean meats, healthy fats, water) I am happy with the food I eat, and it makes me feel great.
As for P90X, yes it is extreme. That's the point though.  The results that the program gives are amazing, if the work is done and a healthy food plan is involved. This program is not for the faint of heart, or someone who is really out of shape.
Most workouts are an hour total, some days include the additional Ab Ripper X workout (an extra 15 minutes). Yes, the Yoga workout is 90 minutes total. But as I said, this is an extreme workout. It probably isn't for those who don't have the time to devote to it, but I personally think that people have more spare time than they think.  A lot of spare time is spent watching television, on the computer, etc. My personal opinion is that if people LOOK for the time, they will find the time to exercise.
I do half P90X and half Supreme 90 Day for the variety, but also because Supreme 90 Day workouts are quite a bit shorter (generally, around 20-30 minutes total).
It's all about personal preference, but I don't think anyone can argue how effective these programs can be, if the work is done.
