Velocity Diet Log, The battle begins

[chrischap01]

I'm going to go take mine now...
I accidentally dropped a fish oil capsule in my coffee.

It wasn't bad, actually. An interesting alternative to creamer.

[cawiau]

hey bro. That is totally what I want to hear and I KNOW ALL THAT! God damnit, I know it but I don't follow it. The thing I think I need to realize is that I can't do a diet hardcore (like I've done for the last two days) for 6 months in a row, very few people can and I am just not one of them. So I think I need to go back to what made me lost all the weight in the first place which was basically eating at -500 calories or so below maintenance and losing 1-2lbs a week. And more importantly, I need to only weigh myself once a month. It's funny though because I am learning all this as I go. Two years ago I knew none of this and didn't even know about water weight, etc.

Does that mean you are giving up on the velocity :confused:


By the way, Eggs, Avocado and chicken? I guess we all let the ball drop didn't we. ****.

Nah, it was plan. Fits into my calories for today.
It's for lifting later on...have a crazy leg workout plan.
And trust solid food more than liquid drink when it comes to energy efficient :)

Don't want a 315-340 lb barbell to fall on me :o
Or when I am Leg Pressing 900 lbs for my legs to give out :eek:

Those are my goals for today.

OK ;)

[skuZZitude]

Does that mean you are giving up on the velocity :confused:

No, I plan to do what I've been doing for a long time, I think it's a very successful diet. I just neglected to realize that if I continually ate the EXACT same macros every day, my body would get used to it eventually and the weight loss would stop. So I may need to do "carb ups" weekly... which I dont want to do. But I am doing a quick one, 12 hours that is it and very limited. Tomorrow morning (Day 9) back on track and going to go very strong for 5 days because I work 6 nights in a row now and when I work, my diet is always good cause I am not just sittin around. Then I go visit my parents and Im going to keep it up d own there.

[justdragit]

i think i may cheat today .. havent decided yet .. this is day 8 and I havent cheated yet .. but, if I do i dunno what I will eat ... dilemma's ...

[skuZZitude]

Btw got my cholesterol checked today and it came in at 227 overall which is very good IMO considering my situation when I took it. I am sure I can easily lower it to under 200 by the end of the year. That's one of my major goals. At 227 I'm only borderline high anyways and heart disease doesn't run in my family so I'm not too worried. On the bright side, my tryglicerides were really low..... like 33 or something. Oh and I'm also negative for hep A,B,C and HIV :D

[cydonia]

I just started today and let's just say I nearly threw up about 4 out of 5 times. That guy who wrote the diet on t-nation lied when he said this metabolic drive crap tastes like dessert! Oh well, I already paid nearly 500 dollars for all the protein powders and supplements so nothing I can do about it >:( I just hope it gets much much easier from this point on. I am currently 5'9 and 167lbs all I want to do is drop 20 pounds till I start school in september.

Suck it up and go with it!!!

But may I say at 5ft9 and 167 lbs, I really don't see why you need to lose more weight.
I would be bulking if I was you

[rj1992]

...oh well. i know for a fact it works with whey, fish oil and a fat burner .. already done it

Glad to hear it works just as well with 100% Whey. I'm going to join ya'll for a couple of weeks and see where I get with it. I've been doing CKD since June 1st, so this won't be that much of a change for me, just a little more restrictive on the cals, but most of that will come from cutting back on the fat intake. I'm just going to use whey, fish oil/flax oil caps, and an ECA stack. I hope my results are as impressive as your's were on your first go-round.

[cydonia]

also anyone using blender to mix it? I am just stirring it in cold water and was wondering if it would go down easier if I mix it in the blender.

Cold water for me...no blending.
Kinda hard with I am all over the place during the day.
I could try to blend the one before bedtime though....good idea :)

Cawiau,

I can understand your puzzlement. But I'm in the same boat - I'm 5' 11" and currently at 164 - but my BF is still at about 15%-18%. I'm your typical skinny fat guy - I carry all my fat around my stomach / love handles. I'm hoping I get the same results as the person who originally did this diet and lose a couple inches around the middle. I doubt very seriously I could get ripped in such a short amount of time, but if I can get a real good start in the first 2 weeks without losing what little LBM I have, I might stick it out for the full 28.

Ron

[cawiau]

Yep...the title said it all.
Why? I don't think I did so well on the first week so one extra week might be good.
Sure ? Yeah. I am leaving for Canada on the 10th of August at around 10PM. Going to be there till the 15 about the Same time.
So get back to NJ on the 16th and have a wedding on the 16th at 5:00 PM
So no gym till the 17th which is when I intend to start my veggies and meat diet.
So really need that extra week....

Promise to do cardio everyday

The thing is you can lose those inches if you do a clean bulk and lift like there is no tomorow in the gym.
Just saying ;)

Yep, I am also at around 17 % bf. What I am hoping to achieve through this diet is basically maintain what little muscle I have and lose fat. I want to get cut after I lose my excess fat :)

[rj1992]

I hear what you're saying. It's just that after losing 40 lbs, I don't want to gain a bunch of fat back. So, my theory is that the leaner I can get, the longer I can bulk without getting above 20%. I'ts been a real struggle from 20% to where I'm at now, so I'm very reluctant to go above that. If I knew that my body would respond that well to a clean bulk, I might be tempted to go for it. But my body never really seems to respond like I think it should...so I end up resorting to drastic measures like this. :)

[cawiau]

I agree. I don't intend to start bulking till I reach a single digit bodyfat.
The leaner you are...the harder it is to gain fat on a bulk.

So completely agree with you on that one.

[justdragit]

alright I lied ... i told you I wasnt going to weigh in until tomorrow .. well I did it today...

GOOD NEWS!!! Wooohooo!

Cawiau,

I don't have a hard and fast BF # that I need to get to in order to start a bulk, I just want to be comfortable with the size of my belly compared to the rest of me. I'll know it when I see it in the mirror. If that happens to be single digits and this gets me there, then I'll be a very happy camper.

Hope to see you hit the single digits though. Would be really cool to see one of those unbelievable, jaw-dropping transformations as it's happening. ;)

Very cool. Have you noticed any difference in your waist, or is it mostly water weight? I know you said you've done this before, just not sure how long ago and if you're shedding water weight now. Either way, it's got to feel good to see the scale moving so quickly.

Having started from a CKD where my last carb-up was 5 days ago, I don't think I have much excess water to get rid of, so probably won't see as drastic an initial drop as others have reported. :(

[justdragit]

this is Day 8 for me .. most of the water weight was off of me by day 2. I was already on a semi-low carb diet before so most of this is just fat.

Comment : Only completed 2 exercises thanks to a group of stupid teenagers :mad: It was 5 of them. When I started squat they were doing leg extensions and leg curls. I got done with Leg Press...guess what...the idiot were still there. THe gym was closing in less than half hour so I had a choice between waiting and praying they get done quickly or do cardio.
As you can see I did cardio. I will do leg curls and leg extensions, including calves raises tomorow morning before my morning cardio :)

I answered in my other thread so will quote here :



Pleasure.
I went before with my mom, brothers and cousins.
My fiancee did not get to go because she was studying for the MCAT and summer camp.
She is taking the MCAT tomorow and camp ends on August 10. So leaving August 10 at night.
Just me and her this time. ;)

Also, I love to travel. My fiancee love shopping, I love travelling. I save about 15%-20% of my gross income each year for travel expenses.
I got one life to live and intend to enjoy it.
I don't care about the new phone/car/elecetronics devices etc...but tell me about a place to visit or a trip and I am all over it :D



Also, can you guys check out my 10 day phase off plan a few pages back and give my your opinions...

I checked it and was thinking about stealing some of your ideas :D
Only one thing...lower the calories.

[Dominikm]

Thanks man, i'm gonna revise it now as even though the 3000 seems right it's seems like it's to much. 2500 should be a good starting point so i'll up the calories at around 150 to 300 a day untill I hit 2500 and that should see me with a loss of about 0.75kg a week or like 1.5lbs or so...

[Dominikm]

Ok I change it, please help me out guys and let me know what you think of my after v diet normal regular food diet...

WTF.... I lost 2.5lbs on the first day!
I don't know if that's water weight because prior to this I have been on the keto diet for a week and a half and thought I lost all my water weight. This is kind of alarming to be honest don't think it would be healthy to lose 2.5lbs of fat in a day if that is even possible.

[Dominikm]

Fat and water weight. I drop alot on my first few days also...

Welcome to the club, good luck!

It is possible. I went from 311.5 to 302.4 overnight.
Yeah!!
Was all mostly water since it was a whole week binge.
Good luck.

Hey guys...It's 11 and just worke up.
Yep, my alarm went off at 6 AM but just kept on slipping.
I was tired.

Anyway...Diet wise, will see how I can fit at least 6 meals in. Will take one now since I am going to the gym and intend to lift. Than try every 2 hours afterwards.


Two...I am dying. I mean my whole body is killing me. Every freaking muscle group.:(

I had a grilled chicken breast w/ lobster meat and steamed brocoli, and asparagus tips ... but OMG!! it was good!!! ... but thats it! it was also for a buddys b-day so we went to Ruby Tuesdays! ... now back to the program ... i dont think i did any damage though so its all good.

My thighs are killing me cant even bend it now, had real trouble sleeping last night because of it. Anyone know what kind of stretches would remedy this, I usually lie down and fold it to the side but can't do that because of intense pain. Really hard to do cardio right now :(

[-Aaron-]

This is getting ridiculous.

I can't stop from being damn tired. :(

I was thinking of combining two caffeine pills with my stack, heh.

[jhf]

I'm there with ya, I'm hoping its just a phase. For the last couple of days I've just been drained.... and it's a wierd kind of drain. Can't really explain it.... see i just tried and i can't! Heh it's definately nothing I'm use to like staying up for 24 hours or studying for hours on end, or working out really hard....

[skuZZitude]

Back on routine today, going well. Did a full 50 minute workout today and words can't describe how limp my body is right now, legs feel like noodles (squats owned me) and im having trouble even moving my laptop around cause my triceps/biceps/shoulders are so damn beat up. Decided to up my post-workout sshake to 2.5 scoops of whey just to make sure my body has enough protein.

I weighed in at 294.4 this morning! :O

Obviously my carb up was effective. My workout felt great today tons of energy. I am not setting anymore weigh goals, not even gonna weigh myself once. I've come to the acceptance that if I eat -800 cals below maintenance each day (2700 cals), and workout regularily, my body WILL lose weight and get in shape. Right now the scale is useless for me because I am probably experiencing newbie muscle gains and that is why the scale isn't dropping too much. Either way, it would be nice to see myself drop into at least 279lbs by the end of July... I think that will happen anyways. If I can get to 279lbs by July 1st that will mean I've lost 26lbs in 2 months which is quite amazing and inspirational.

Ooops that was suppose to be preceded by a quote from you on your blending situation Cawiau

Check out the magic bullet.... Thing is a gift from god and it's small enough to be portable. Heh I take it to work with me every day and you blend it in the cup you drink from.... It's the best thing since .... hrm sliced bread doesn't really fit... i guess protein shakes will have to do... The Magic Bullet is the best thing since cookies and cream protien shakes! Truely a godsend.

Another magic bullet user? I thought I was the only one!

I agree.... I got it as a gift and use it for ALL my protein shakes. Takes 5 seconds to blend the shake, no lumps. And it takes 5 seconds to clean the magic bullet too. Just put some hot water in it right after you're done drinking the shake, a little squirt of soap, screw the lip back on and blend the hot water/soap for 5 seconds, then rinse and it's ready for next time. No huge messy blender to clean.

[rj1992]

Nope. I have one too. It's the quickest,easiest and most effective protein shake mixer I've ever used. Beats the hell out of a hand held mixer! :)

Hey guys. I like this idea of this bodybuilding.com velocity diet mini support group :)

well I got some questions before I start my 28 days

how much and when do you guys take your fiber supps?

and I use grounded flex seed? powder

I'm seeing 8-10lbs the first week... I know some is water weight but can you see a diff in the mirror? do you feel lighter. also aren't you guys afriad of lose skin? from the fast weight drop

thanks all and good luck!

[Saint Mike]

I am still super impressed with all you guys.

It sucks that it tells you when you can and can't give reps to someone.

[rj1992]

Hey guys. I like this idea of this bodybuilding.com velocity diet mini support group :)

I just started, but I've been on a Keto diet for about 6 weeks and wasn't really getting my green veggies, so I was mixing in benefiber with my PWO shake and that seemed to work OK. I'll probable stick with that for now and adjust as necessary.


and I use grounded flex seed? powder

I just bought some milled flax seed powder yesterday and tried it for the first time in one of my shakes. It didn't mix very well and left the bottom of the shake pretty chunky and tough to drink. So, I won't be using flax in my shakes.

I guess it depends on what your body was going through prior to the start of the diet. If you eat lots of carbs then you'll probably have a good chunk of water weight to lose. I was eating less than 30g carbs/day, so I doubt I'll see anything that drastic the first few days. Your mileage may vary. Good luck.

Actually, I used it. It just didn't mix the flax well, and by the time I finished the shake, the flax had settled to the bottom. Not sure if I used too much, or what, but I won't be doing that again.

This was also what I was expecting since I was pretty much eating close to 9 carbs on keto diet before this but I just lost 2.5lbs on the first day which is more than I ever lost on keto in a single day this probably won't continue but it shocked me for sure.

Yeah, that's what I have - cold milled flax seed from Sam's club. It's about the consistency of corn meal. I'm really not even sure why flax seed is so good for you, I got it because the guy that wrote the v-diet used it - monkey see... But several others on here have stated they had good success on this diet with just whey, fish oil, and a thermogenic, so I scrapped the flax seed. I am taking an omega complex cap that has both fish oil and flax seed oil in it, hope that's good enough.

[-Aaron-]

Anyone try ON 100% Casein protein at all?

[Dominikm]

Nope, but cawiau used on 100% whey, so it should do the job.

Magic bullet, that sounds like a dildo to me, lol :)

Recovery, you guys sound like your all so screwed up. I kick my ass and push it in the gym and don't get that sore, yesterdays workout was proably the best yet and I can fell it a little this morning... Might just have a really good recovery system...

Day 14 today, 2 words "**** YEA!", lol... Solid refeed meal today, probaly do my steak angain but have some pasta but I want chicken also, desions, desions! Grr... Either way it will be clean and it will taste so damn godlike when it will water in my mouth.!!!

I get so annoyed, you guys are like 12 hours difference from me so I wake up do my stuff and get on the forums and there like 50 new posts on the the or four v diet threads we have, lol...

Did cardio today also, upped it to 45 minutes from 30 minutes. 15 minutes at 75 - 80 rpm @ level 8 on the cross trainer, 15 minutes jogging at 10km/h for 15 mins and 15 minutes @ lvl 8 on the bike at 100rpm...

Cardio day today, so that means gym and cardio twice, bordering 100kg and I wanna hopefully crack it tommorow, might, might now but I hope i will... so I will do the same routine at about 4pm except its only gonna be 30 minutes, thats 1hr and 15mins all up :)

Mmmmmm food, cant wait, gonna go make it now :)

[cawiau]

So 2 Days till weight in Dominikm ???
So about tomorow night for me :D

I am waiting to see how much you have lost so far...
You say you are boderline 100...so keep on kicking ass so you got pass it.
Good luck and enjoy your refeed.

[Dominikm]

Thanks man...

Food was great, got one of the pre marinated steaks, was good but in all honest my steak last week that I did last week taste better. Was good anyhoiow, had it in a roll with salad and it was like 350g steak, lol, so I ate thte other buy itself. Probaly the same calories in 2.5 of my shakes but its a once a week refeed so its all good.

2nd lot of cardio in a few hours.

[jhf]

Hey guys. I like this idea of this bodybuilding.com velocity diet mini support group :)

well I got some questions before I start my 28 days

how much and when do you guys take your fiber supps?

and I use grounded flex seed? powder

I'm seeing 8-10lbs the first week... I know some is water weight but can you see a diff in the mirror? do you feel lighter. also aren't you guys afriad of lose skin? from the fast weight drop

thanks all and good luck!

I put two tablespoons of the flax in each shake but like someone posted, it usually sinks to the bottom so i'm constantly swirling. I should check to see if there is a more refined version in the stores.

As far as loose skin, everyone is in a different boat. I'm not to worried about it because I'm only 20-30 pounds from where I want to be and if I do end up with any lose skin it will get filled in when i start hitting the weights.

And I wasn't seeing much in the mirror until yesterday when I looked and thought, damn somethings happenind:)

[cawiau]

And the game starts again, good cardio session later today and then a nice long sleep in, get up, wait 30 minutes and go for a **** (probaly 250g of weight there), maybe a wank as it make you pee more (probaly 500g liquid there) and then get my weight... Wait 3 hrs to annoy the hell out of cawiau and then post the weight, lol....

I'm a dirty prick this time... lol :)

[EazyE15]

Have you been losing weight every day, or has it stalled for a day or 2 then carried on?

[Dominikm]

I always loose, even if it's the smallest amount...

Day 14 is over! Made it in 2 weeks, did my 2nd lot of cardio today also... Feel awsome right now...

[EazyE15]

I might start the diet but i only have Whey. I got about 11lb worth so that would last. I also have fish oil supps, green tea extract and multivits. So if i did do the diet i'd have to modify it and include peanuts instead of flax seeds or Surge.
I might buy and make an ECA stack but im not sure yet.

Good luck, buy some surge though or you will fell it while you work out. Or gateorade I guess, liquid carbs in the end. flax seeds are becasue of good fats and high diarty fibre to keep you full... Flaxseed pack costs like $3 for a pound though... Buy it...

[Dominikm]

I need some comments on this...

Everyone seems to do quite well on the keto diet and I like the fact that ketosis burns body fat for energy so ontop of cardio and weights your body is naturally burning fat. I might do it after a 40/40/20 for a bit...

I was just wondering if after the velocity diet is up, you have got rid of any cravings for bad food, will this be destroyed with a keto diet?

What do you guys recon? As the food on the keto diet, over a prolonged period of time might do this in the end, lots of fat is what i'm getting at...

I doubt you will need to do it any time soon. I'd also wait a month or 2 after the V diet before doing Keto. keto diet is basically meat, eggs, nuts and low carb veg.
I doubt it would be destroyed with the keto diet because the food is healthy anyway. Just higher in healthy fat.

I think you are good to go. All I have is :

100% Whey Protein
Multivatimin
Fish Oil
Also trying the Hydroxicut.

Be patient....
I woul suggest easing yourself into eating normally and clean....before you start with the keto.
So about 2-3 month.

[Finnegan Bell]

hey cawiau,do u know that u r #140 on most bodyspace profile visits??

thats a good number with thousands of members

I was thiinking november anyhow... True, that... Lots of healthy fats, I guess it depends on how you do it. If anything it will make the diet taste better and you will retain the good taste and wiped out cravings you got from the v diet :)

Yeah...I guess
The final decision is up to you.
The reason I wouldn't do it because my intentions with the V Diet was for it to be a transition into a new lifestyle.
Like moving forward I will make healthier choice and eat clean.
SO if I am dieting, I will lower the calories or increase them if I am bulking or other varations.
Buit my choices of food will not be different or be BURGER KING / MC DONALD / or DOMINOES PIZZA.

[Freddie Beef]

Is anybody still doing the V diet here anymore, I skimmed thru and I am confused at to what is goin on.

Yea, alot of ppl...

I just finished day 14 today. Offical weight in tommorow! Yay!

cawiau, I guess so... But i'm not a very conventional person and I like being different and crazy. I wanted to try it before but never did, was at home, part time job, not much money and stingy day would not buy my food and I was to lazy to improvise...

Hell, once i'm fit i'm gonna skydive up and get about 1,500 jumps up and in a few years start base jumping. It could kill you in the act and it's a quite well know fact that it's just a matter of time till you really really **** yourself up from base jumping but to be able to base jump out weights the risk say alot of base jumpers...

Not just that, alot of other things, not very conventional, yep thats me...

If I do loose my cravings benifit I cn just do another v diet run when i'm bordering ripped to get it again and push the v diet and my body to the limits in a experiment to see if I can really cut the fat and be at 5% BF of so...

I like testing thing also, pushing limits... Even if it goes agains convention and pissess ppl off... lol, that me!

[Dominikm]

Really???

Stick some 5 star votes on my v diet log ppl so I can get more exposure, ppl see starts and click as they know its good content...

That might have been recently but with the amount of post we fly through on here it was a long time ago, so yea u have a bit of catching up to do if you wanna keep up :)

[skuZZitude]

Down to 292.4 this morning. Yeah right, "down". My weight fluxuates more than a thermometer. That is why when I started this whole diet thing a month and a half ago I said to myself "I am going to only record my weight ONCE a week, every Saturday, in the morning". So whatever the number is when I step on the scale on Saturday morning is what I put in my signature. As you can see it's so wacky it's not even funny how much it jumps around. But I guess the bottom line is, I am getting results. Some might say "well last Saturday you were 289.6 and this Saturday you are 292.4, that isn't results". Well, I have such confidence in my diet that I know if I continue I will see the results. I'm done trying to figure out my body. Whether I am adding muscle, retaining water, or whatever, I know next Saturday I'll be down to 286 or whatever and then the saturday after that maybe back up to 288 or 290? who knows. As long as I see long term results I'm happy.

But damn I must be putting on some muscle iwth the workouts Ive been doing. I can already feel my biceps getting noticably larger after less than a week of workouts. Not just feeling larger, but they look larger in the mirror. My legs are stronger and triceps filling out too. Impossible? Well I've always had the gift of gaining muscle at incredible rates. But that is bad for someone like me who doesn't want to be the hulk.... but I know after another week or so the newbie gains/muscle memory crap will die off and then I think the fat will pour off in considerable amounts for a little while until that dies down too. Predicitons are fun :D Catching up to me yet caw? You must be close by now! Im going up you're going down!

[Dominikm]

Awsome stuff mate, remember you can off the v diet, you have continute to loose fat but have put on water weight...

Keep going strong!

[cawiau]

Catching up to me yet caw? You must be close by now! Im going up you're going down!

Cheers guys. I can't imagine how you feel caw. Working out in the gym with the amazing workouts you pull, like, squats at 350lbs or 400lbs or whatever and yet you are still 299lbs. It's crazy. But the reason you have trouble loosing the weight is because you are just a tank with your muscle mass. If you keep putting up those massive squat numbers and don't let them slide, and slowly drop the weight, you will be a crazy strong guy when you start getting into the low 200's. I hate people who say **** like "Workouts are the key to weight loss. IF you workout in the gym 3 times a week you can literally eat whatever you want and never gain a pound"...... damn those people. The thiing that pisses me off is I haven't cheated once since May 30th, not once. I don't plan to either. Ok there was the carb up day, but that day sucked and I dont really feel it was a cheat. I just am always used to things coming easy to me. I don't want to become one of those guys who makes forum posts like "HELP!! I am eating -500 below maintaince, working out 3 times a week and I've gained 3lbs in the last month! What's going on???!"......lol. YOUR PREGNANT.

I have a question, do you guys take fat burner before doing a fasted cardio in the morning (that is if you do fasted cardio). I did it for 2 days and my heart rate shoots up and it's real hard to keep it in low intensity.

You got it right.
ANd my energy level is great to say the least :D

[-Aaron-]

For the first time doing this diet, I'm actually using Casein Protein. ON 100% Casein to be more accurate.

All I have to say is, wow. I have 0 hunger pains and it's been 3 hours but the fatigue is still there. I recommend this type of protein to everyone. Whether it be Matrix, ON, Low-Carb Grow, etc...

He asked me to inform you guys.

[matjiz]

been lurking for awhile now and figure i jump on the boat with yall.
i'm 21 5'11 226lbs and want to get back in shape. I figure i'll use dominikm's diet as the template for mine.
1 question tho. i have some ON whey thats like vanilla ice cream flavor. it taste like ****. is there a preffered flavor. also it's got Hydrowhey. is that the right stuff? anyways thanx for all u guys for givin me the proper motivation to get off my ass and do something about it.

[jhf]

I'm using ON whey for the majority of my protein powder. Don't go for the strawberry, it tastes like crap with water. I like the cookies and cream and rocky road flavors. Usually I put a scoop of each in a shake. Also I've been getting fabulous results using the whey protein. Good luck it's well worth the effort.

[dugnom]

So at this point in your diets, are you guys use to it? How are your cravings for food if there are any? Basically does it get easier the farther you go along?

I'm thinking about trying it, but usually if I don't get enough carbs I feel light headed, sluggish like. I do cardio first thing in the morning, and lift in the afternoon, but in between I would load up on carbs. I never went heavy on the fats, so do you guys feel like you are receiving enough energy for your workouts?

[jhf]

The first few days were a lil rough but then yer body gets use to it. Just check out the first week of everyone on the v-diets individual logs and you'll get a good idea of how it goes

So let me understand, basically you guys are just drinking protien shakes, flax seed, and fish oils? What about veggiess, how is your energy levels?

Yep, and my energy levels are a little low at times but generally are steady and with my surge during my workouts i'm pumped right up!

My diet is proably right for you, you are about 35lbs heaiver that me though so factor that in with a bit more protien and fibre... I can't speak for anything but matrix 5.0, not sick of the shakes yet and it's working awsome. I've had ON's 100% choco whey and thats good, heard rocky road is awsome also. Have not used they for the v diet but ppl are using them with no problems.

Day 16 today, lifts when up again today, best workout yet, week three is a piece of piss... Lost over 12lbs now (as of morning of day 15)...

You will be a bit slugish and tired but you get used to it and if you force yourself to keep going you get over it. If you have to work it's fine. That acarb load, I do that, it's with biotest surge. Pumps me the hell up so much for my workouts. No proper food carb ups, will stuff up the vdiet.

Yes on the 1st 3 - 4 days, not the worst thing in the workd though. Week 2 is not a walk in the park but I though week 1 was harder, might just be me as week 2 sucks for most ppl. And yes, week three is a walk in the park :)

[rj1992]

So let me understand, basically you guys are just drinking protien shakes, flax seed, and fish oils? What about veggiess, how is your energy levels?

Yes on the protein shakes, no on the flax, and I've subbed an Omega complex cap for the fish oil caps. It has fish oil, flax seed oil, and ALA in it so you get both Omega 3 and 6 EFAs. As for veggies, I'm not a big veggie fan, so I add a dose of benefiber to several of my shakes and I'm good to go, if you know what I mean.

I'm on day 4ish (started mid day last Thursday) and have lost almost 5 pounds. It's not as dramatic as some have lost in their first few days, but coming from a straight Keto diet, I didn't really have much water weight to shed. And I've done no cardio and no lifting (due to travel) at all. I'll be hitting the gym for the first time tonight since I started this thing. All in all, I'm very happy. Haven't really felt much hunger or a real drop in energy levels. I have noticed a difference in my love handles and upper abs. Still have some fat around the bellybutton, which I'm sure will be the last to go.

I do lift, I just haven't in the 4 days since I started. I was on the road and didn't have access to a weight room (it was under construction). I have an awesome home gym and typically work out 5-6 days a week (lift 3, cardio 4-5). Will be hitting it hard for the first time tonight after work.

I know I shouldn't be checking my weight everyday but after the first day when I lost 2.5lbs I have gained back the weight I lost within 3 days. This is my 4th day on the diet and no loss of weight is really discouraging :( My body is also no longer in keto mode which I was around a week prior to this diet.

[dugnom]

Thanks guys,

I going to give it a try, but I don't know when I going to start. I need to stock up on flax seed and fish oils. I prolly need to eat all the food I just bought this weekend first, I hope I have the will power like you guys.

[cawiau]

Come Tuesday me and my buddy mark will be joining you guys...

Welcome abroad, the more the merrier.

Hey Guys...still holding strong.
Decide to up my cardio a notch starting today since I have 9 weeks left till the misc. competition ends.
So, the plan is 50-60 minutes in the morning.
30-45 minutes in the afternoon for the next 90 weeks.
Will see what gives.

I will not be able to lift for at least a week in August. From the 10th till the 17th since I will be in Canada. Will try but most likely will not be able too.
But I can definitely get in the cardio :)

[cawiau]

Can someone please post the t-nation web adress for the velocity diet.
Can't seem to find it.
Thanks

I was browsing the net and found this, take a look.

http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/reprint/60/6/1401.pdf

I'm kind of worried now.

[justdragit]

weighed in today .. 247. :( ... wow. no change in 3 days.

[skuZZitude]

Glad to see everyone here is doing awesome.

I decided to give velocity another go, this time for real. Today was day #1 and it went surprisingly well. I ate the velocity diet to a tee. Here is what my diet is going to look like for the next 21 days (at least) until my birthday August 6th. I am going to stick to this come hell or high water. I think what was stopping me was how unhealthy it looks but Ive realized people do such unhealthy things every day, and how bad I ate for 7 years. Also, when my dad was 50 years old he went a little crazy and dropped from 280lbs to around 150lbs in about 4 months. All he ate EVERY DAY was 1 apple and 1 banana in the morning, and 300g of deli chicken in the evening. That is basically like, 600 calories a day he lived off of for 4 months? So I dont think I could do any significant harm to my body in 21 days... unless I did what the Super Size Me guy did.

Anyways here is my diet. Day #1 is complete and I am feeling good. Not going to weigh myself at all for a long time, I want that shock value. I am going to stick to it the entire time I am out seeing my family too, including the workouts (I've got a gym pass)

NON-WORKOUT DAY

12 Scoops Whey = 1344 calories
3 tbsp flaxseeds = 180 calories
24 fish oil caps = 216 calories

Total: 1740 calories

WORKOUT DAYS

12 Scoops Whey = 1344 calories
3 tbsp flaxseeds = 180 calories
24 fish oil capsules = 216 calories
710ml Poweraid PWO (instead of Bio Surge) = 250 calories

Total: 1990 calories

Deaths in the 80's or so were related to uneducated people doing similar diet and not realising that ontop of the water in the shakes they still needed to drink their 8 glasses of water a day...

Drink up you water ppl...

Unless you wanna die I guess :) lol, j/k...

[Dominikm]

You should know that thats not an issue on this diet matt damon... you weight goes up and down and by the the end of the week you have lost a decent amount.

Also those people did it for a period of 5 months or more :eek:

[cawiau]

Instead of my regular protein shake this morning after cardio I bought some soup.
With the way I am feeling, hoping I will feel better so I could go lift later on.
Going to the pharmacy in a little bit.:(

[Dominikm]

Also those people did it for a period of 5 months or more :eek:

RIP to those people, I didn't know it was for the long also... Man thats dedication and willpower at it's finest...

Also cawiau, if you punch velocity diet into google, I have knoced you off the first page, lol. I have like 4 or 5 links there now. lol :)

[dugnom]

Hey guys,

What do you recommend for Flax seed (seeds, oil, capsule, or powder)

[EvoSummer]

It looks like I'm joining you guys as well. I was doing a Lyle McDonald diet and while it was working great, I was dreading all the preparation and cooking I had to do as well as not having sweet in the morning, so I was eating less then I was supposed to because I just didn't have the time sometimes. I really feel this diet will help with my schedule since it's all basically the same depending on the workout day. As a plus, all of you guys are doing it so my journal might not be as lonely if you guys stop by to leave a comment or two ;)

I've bought Chocolate Matrix 5.0, Lipo 6, and milled flaxseed. I couldn't find any Surge in stock anymore so I'm thinking about using my EAS Myoplex shakes. Does anyone know if that's ok?

I'm pretty up to date on what my calories should be, but I don't know how many grams of protein, carbs, and fat I should consume based on my weight (202lbs). Anyone that can lend a hand?

[jhf]

I'm running about 46 grams of carbs, 231 grams of protien, 49 grams of fat

Basically you want under 100 carbs, your weight in grams of protien or more, and as for fat, he wasn't to specific so I just tried to the origionators fat intake. Actually those numbers are pretty close to the guy who designed it. I'm at 206 lbs so we match up as far as weight goes pretty well. On days that you lift weights you are going to have a couple hundred calories more and more carbs due to your post work out drink.

[EvoSummer]

Exactly. I know that I have to have 1500 calories on non lifting days and 1800 on lifting days. On those days I'll have my myoplex shake post workout. I think I'll try to keep my carbs, protein, and fat similar to yours and hopefully I have similar results. I can't wait till my order comes in so I can start.

[jhf]

Good luck:) Start your own thread so we can all keep track. Just keep in mind that the first 3-4 days are the toughest and after that it's all down hill. Also spend the next 28 days poking around the site to figure out how you are going to transition off and maintain all the progress you will have made. It's mind numbing at first but it starts to sink in. Good luck!

[EvoSummer]

Thanks a lot. I'm really going to try my hardest and will definitely keep everyone updated with my progress and my pictures.

Transitioning will be a process, but I'll definitely do it so I don't just balloon right back afterwards.

[AiRiC21]

Today is day one for me, first time going on a fat burner (hot rox) I burped up 5 fruity burps while speed walking lol... Well my begining weight is 181 will see what happens....

justdragit- mind telling me what your pervious diet was before this and what your drinking plan is as well as your activity?

next shake 15 mins away :)

Welcome, repped for taking the plunge into the unknown as it takes guts to do this diet, plus I don't like the red reps on ya, lol... :)

[Dominikm]

So i've done 18 days! That means i've got 10 days to go... I can't beleive it's gone so quick and week 3 will be over quite soon. All cravings are basically gone also, so that part does work.

10 days to, go... Will fly right by and I can't wait to see my end results. I have seen so many changes and my lifts have gone up so much... I've added 40kg/88lbs just on my leg press in 2.5 weeks :)... Hell yea!

After tommorow i'm down to a single digit with the amount of days to go... hell yea!

[justdragit]

Welcome, repped for taking the plunge into the unknown as it takes guts to do this diet, plus I don't like the red reps on ya, lol... :)
x2. I hit him as well as you can see :D ... now just dont get back RED!

[justdragit]

1 more thing. Those of you who mountain bike in 100 degree weather, BEWARE!! Not a god idea to drink a protein shake right before you go. I got out about 5 miles into the woods and BAM!!! it came back up and I got sick for like 20 mins .. not fun, not fun at all.

[-Aaron-]

I'm getting annoyed at this EasyE cat... :rolleyes:

Anyways, I'm on day 5 of this diet and dropped 9 lbs. :eek:

Somethings gotta give as I know it's not water weight. I was on the Keto diet before and have very little carbs in my system. I'm not losing muscle so that can't be it.

Thanks bro, like the new "non-matt" avatar by the way. :D

[cawiau]

Just passing by to see how is everyone doing?
Doing ok so far today but still sick :(

Hang in there guys, and good luck to everyone :)

[Dominikm]

Great mate, my weight loss has dropped right off though, I don't know what i'll loose this week. It's been said before, for basically everyone, metabolism drops off after week 2 so you stop loosing so much but the end result will still be awsome and i'm not gonna quit. Another reason could be that i'm dropping lots of fat but as my lifts have increased such a crazy amount I am putting on muscle for sure so the scale is not the best thing atm i guess...

Day 19 is basically over, got 1 shake left and then i've got my cardio, going to the gym in 1.5hrs with my mate. So yea, tommorow and i've do the double digits and then it's saturday with my refed meal and then suday weight in and week 3 will be over in no time!

I'm still considering a keto vs. my planned out 40/40/20 that i've got ready to go.

I really wanna do it and a keto would give me the best results while I have more weigth to drop that just the fat from a bulk later on, I know you can do it anytime but i've heard a few ppl say its better to follow a normal routine that a keto if you only have like 5kg of fat to drop from a bulk or so...

And it's a good diet, lots of good fats and good meat with the luxuary of some extra cheese and things like that, that you would not normal eat but its still all healthy...

Comments?

And again! Yay my lifts and going up so much! And i'm into single digits as of tommorow!

EDIT - MWHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!! I just did post 666 in this thread! MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks.
Now if I could lose the fat in my ass and chest...I would be a happy camper :D

[skuZZitude]

I'm still around bros! I am down visiting the parents. I am on day 4 of velocity and MAN it feels good. Being down here I went shopping to all the nutrition stores and also went to Popeyes. I found some SWEET ASS organic flax oil. It's friggen expensive , $27 a liter but it's good stuff and eating 3 table spoons a day it will last me 20 days. It makes the shake taste BETTER. I haven't weighed myself in a week now and I have no idea what weight I am at but it sure feels good. I am not going to weigh myself for a long time, but my goal is still 225lbs by the end of the cutting contest. Do you guys realize that as of today it's exactly 18 weeks until the end of the summer cutting contest? 18 friggen weeks!!!! So if you lose even 3lbs a week average that is 54lbs. So yeah I think some big results can still happen.

I dont have time to read the last few pages but someone update me on what ive missed. The latest gossip of the losing fat logs forum if you will? :D Cliff notes!

[justdragit]

Alrighty Good News and Bad News.

Good news is im still on the V-Diet.
Bad news is only until tomorrow.

I will weigh in the morning and see what I weigh then after tomorrow I am done with the diet for now.


CAWIAU - Excellent job so far man!! Keep it up!

[AiRiC21]

Captain's log Stardate:000003

Upon my arrival of day 1 i weigh 181 and now Ive dropped to 174 by day 3... whats everyone doing for workouts....


as for me speed walking every morning 4 miles and weights everyday for about a hour and 15 .... I can't see myself only working out every other day LOL

Dominikm- When did you start "seeing," results ...?

cawisu- how much weight did you loose on the vdiet?

Btw kimchi and rice sounds SOOOO good right now ;(

[-Aaron-]

Quick question; Why didn't Chris Shugart not use Fish Oils on workout/cardio days?

By the way, Cawiau, I can see results. :)

[EvoSummer]

Cawiau, I definitely see the progress in those side photos. You look like you lost a lot from behind and in the stomach area. Are you taking measurements too?

[msg911]

Hi everyone, I'm Mark. I'm keeping a complete log of what's going on day by day during this diet, so, I'll be sure to post it when I'm all done with this diet along with befores and afters...

I'm doing this velocity diet with AiRiC... or at least, I thought I was doing it with him, or rather, he was doing it with me. For some reason, my good buddy AiRiC up there seems to think that I'm being overly sensitive because of this diet. And since he isn't willing to give anything but his own opinion a single considerate thought, I guess I'll just spill my guts here. After reading everything I have about this diet, I'm starting to think it's probably not for him... He doesn't want to do the lifting 3 times a week on this diet, because he doesn't want to "get in the habit" of only working out 3 times a week. So, he's lifting every single day. He's not going to go for the oatmeal on Sunday, instead he's going to have himself some salmon, rice, and kimchee. I don't really have a problem with this of course, but, I wish he'd just stick with the program that was set up from the beginning. He's making modifications here and there, and they're upsetting me because I feel like I don't actually have someone I'm doing this with. I now feel like I'm just doing this alone, and someone else happens to be doing it also, just not with me. The so called "sensitivity" I'm encountering only seems to come out with him though. I can't really say I'm being sensitive, more aggresive actually, and very observant. But, I'm the one with a problem. There's no remote possibility that maybe he's just being more of a prick than he normally already is... and no possibility that he's wrong about anything on God's green earth... every time I have an opinion or even a thought, he does one of 3 things: 1) Interrupts me before I can finish what I'm saying, 2) Looks at me like I'm an idiot and have no idea what I'm talking about followed by him just laughing at me, or 3) Cuts me off before I can get out 5 words with "No --" followed by his omnipotent "knowledge" of whatever the subject happens to be... if it is me just being sensitive, then so be it... but since that's the only possibility in his mind, there's no possible chance he's just a complete *******... nooooooooooo, none at all...

[Dominikm]

Good stuff cawiau!

You can see a real change from day 1 to day 15 :)

Keep it up and go strong and finish this thing!

[Dominikm]

Thanks.
Now if I could lose the fat in my ass and chest...I would be a happy camper :D

In due time you will get ripped mate, and when you are your gonna have fuking tree trunk legs... You squat so much already!

[Dominikm]

I will weigh in the morning and see what I weigh then after tomorrow I am done with the diet for now.



Why?

[Dominikm]

Dominikm- When did you start "seeing," results ...?

After a few days I saw my stomach going down a bit, and I see constant changes now also. Massive change after the first week though... Keep it strong bro!

lol....

Mate, do what ever cardio and lifting program you want, as long as you do it it's not bad.

As for the refeed meal, in all honesty do you wanna eat plain oats with some fruit? I go for a killer steak, twice thick slices of bread and salad... After a week of shakes it's the best food in the world!

[Dominikm]

Yay!

Day 20 is over! So that means it's solid food day tommorow, I could soooooooo go for my steak again but I might do chicken and pasta or something like that... Anyhow its gonna be awsome and then a sunday morning weight in and i'm on the final week! Week 4!!!

Awsomeness!

wow ok....
Is anyone else feeling sensitive on this diet?

what modifications? working out everyday which I really wouldn't consider a modification but regardless I guess he feels alone...as for food

This is a direct quote from the "vdiet"

"what I eat on the free meal day This "real food" break will help me retain sanity and willpower, plus it'll provide a nice shot of healthy nutrients. The rest of the day though, it's back to protein shakes".

Retain sanity ...hmmmm lol

Here's my selection for the one meal cheat day.

Kimchi-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimchi

for those who don't know Kimchi has been cited by Health Magazine as one of the world's five healthiest foods, for being rich in vitamins, aiding digestion, and perhaps even preventing cancer... aka jesus

Salmon-
Is high protein and has something that is vital to the v-diet which is healthy fats like Omega 3

Rice-
It will be a blend of white & brown rice which works in as the carb in the v-diet as well as being the source of fiber.


dominikm- steak does sound good but i would just about any lean meat sounds really good right now.

[cawiau]

Hey people back on the velocity Diet today!
yeah...after 3 days of eating whaterver I felt like.

See how it goes for the next 3 weeks!

[cawiau]

Forgot to mention that I decided to weight myself in this morning.
So, after 3 days of pigging out and eating anything I please...I weighted in this morning at 298.8 lbs.
I am satisfied with it because after 3 days binge and cheat....I am still out of the 300 club :p

Prolly water weight. You should have weighed yourself before the binge/cheat. Probably were around 293 or 294?

[cawiau]

Yeah...but the funny thing is I only did it because we had to do the weight in at my office today.
We have a competition going there.

I managed not to care about how much I weight.
Great feeling :p

Does anyone drink aspartame while doing the velocity diet?

[EvoSummer]

Alright guys I'm in. I posted my thread and will keep updates there and here. Hopefully I do as well as all of you. Gotta stick together here!

[Dominikm]

Does anyone drink aspartame while doing the velocity diet?

Nope... Whats that? Im sure I know but I cant recall...

Good luck evo :)

[guy121]

Thought you weren't supposed to do cardio or much cardio while on this diet? I haven't been doing any cardio, just lifting 5 days every week. I did lose 15lbs in the past month (cheated for the entire third week, which I didn't lose any weight, but only gained about 2lbs.)

[jhf]

Yer not suppose to do intensive cardio at like 80% hr but you are suppose to get some light cardio in like a brisk walk etc....

[AiRiC21]

It is now day 5 for me and I'm at 170 ive lost a total of 11 pounds ... I'm two pounds less everyday. Looking forward to my kimchi,rice and salmon tomorrow :)

[jhf]

Damn, Kimchi sounds really good right now... Heh, I know what I'm having next week! Congrats on the good progress

[cydonia]

kimchi isn't for everyone and is a acquired taste. I mean I am korean so it tastes good to me naturally but most people will hate it lol.
Also my stomach gets really bloated after a while during the day, anyone else?

[AiRiC21]

When your bloated doesn't that mean your in starving mode???

[cydonia]

When your bloated doesn't that mean your in starving mode???

Little question for you guys,

I'm gonna use 100% ON whey for protein, because i can't find affordable casein in Israel,
but for my post workout shake, what is the altervative product for carbs ?

Gateorade + 1 scoop of whey should do it :)

I have decided to resume this again. I stopped over the weekend. But, now after 2 days off I think im actually ready to do this seriously. I have about 2 1/2 weeks until i got to the beach so that will be my time frame. I dont have a goal other than get down to w/e i can by then. I didnt do ANY cardio last time only weights. So this time im doing both. So we will see where this goes this time. Im hoping to drop at least 10-15lbs but we'll see.

[Dominikm]

Good luck mate, mines almost over. 5 days left :)

[Hotmoltenlava]

Keep going guys! I know how much it sucks. Just stick with it. Almost over.

Have a good one.

[justdragit]

Yeah, im not bs'ing this time. I'm going all out. I'm also planning on moving to the beach to live .. as a beach bum :D (serious) ... but that will be in about 1 year when i move, cause i need to save up some $$$ before i can leave!

[Hotmoltenlava]

When I was 21, I moved to Steamboat Springs, CO to be a ski bum for a year. I skied 45 days that winter. One of the best years of my life. Do it now, cause once you get a mortgage, lots of bills and a wife\family, you won't be able to. If I hadn't done it, I would be regretting it now. Do it.

Have a good one.

Hurray, my local Vitamin Shoppe now carries Matrix 5.0! :)

Just tried it, but doesn't fill me up better than ON 100% Casein though. :(

[EvoSummer]

So I'm now on Day 3 on the velocity diet and I'm feeling good. Yesterday I was feeling a bit tired, but I'm sure it was a mixture of the irregular hours I slept and my body adjusting to less carbohydrates. I looked in the mirror today and it looks like I've lost a good amount of water weight which is nice because even though I know it's water it's nice to see progress. It's been hard to stay away from that scale but I'm fighting it.

The worst part of this whole thing is that now that I'm dieting, my mother has made amazing food and the house is filled with doughnuts, desserts, and other delicious food. Since I've gotten back from college she hasn't made a single thing till now! I think secretly she knows that I'm dieting and wants to plump me up so that I'm unable to fit out the door to go back to school. Selfish! I'm staying strong though and can't to take measurements on Saturday.

What flavor did you get? I got chocolate and it's alright. Nothing to write home about. Dominik says he really likes the cookies and cream flavor so I may try that out as soon as my supply runs out.

[Hilush]

Poweraid, tell me you have that there? Same thing, different brand.

nope :(
what is it made of?

[EvoSummer]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powerade

It's a sports drink. What do athletes in your area use to replenish liquid and electrolytes during competitions?

[Hotmoltenlava]

nope :(
what is it made of?


Flavored water, with electolytes. They come in a variety of flavors, like fruit punch, grape, orange, etc.

Have a good one.

Oh its like isostar? :)

[EvoSummer]

Never heard of it but I looked it up and looks about the same. I really thought gatorade would be a worldwide brand like coke. Guess not.

But you would not bea eating anything like that anyway, would you!

Me? Never!!!! I might have smelled it a little though. I probably gained 5 pounds doing that.

Just hang in there and try to hold on to your sanity!!!

[Bellerose25]

Hey new to this site, was lurking on t-nation and their group. But I had actually made it here through Dominikin blog on a google search. I was wondering who else was doing this diet. Will put up stats, soon, seems like I'm the only woman on here doing it. I'm actually five days in already, after intial lethargic state in day 2, still going strong. The progress is pretty crazy lost about 9lbs in fives days, so yeah that's a lot. Some of it was water weight but not a lot because I was already following a clean, anabolic diet before. Well just wanted to say, "HI!"

[EvoSummer]

I know. I see those doughnuts every time I go to make my protein shake. Not as bad now though since I can ignore it now. That's a big step for me. It's like if you were to place a hamburger in front of the Hamburgler and he just ignore it. I realize that I need these results and will fight any temptations. Power!

[-Aaron-]

2nd week in a row and I've gained weight... :confused:

Followed the diet to a T and am not gaining muscle but maintaining it. Just annoyed is all. Although, I do eat a piece of chicken with cauliflower at night, every night. I just started that too. :(

[EvoSummer]

Are you measuring waist, chest, leg size? If you're losing the size there then you're fine. I've seen a few people here see they weight loss stall during the second to third week, but have still claimed to look thinner.

It's the reason I'm not going to weigh in till the end.

[Finnegan Bell]

wassup bro?? it has been a while with 298 lbs,whats going on?

Yay! My blogs works and my high google ratings is doing soomething, lol...

Welcome, your past the hard part... Good luck with the rest...

About the burgers and doughnuts, we know they taste good... But wait till you get to almost the end (3 days left for me now), you dont just ignore them, there are no cravings and it's like its not there... cant wait to get back on the normal food, so yea, it does work and it really does kill any cravings...

[Bellerose25]

yeah it did lol.... considering this is a relatively new diet, there wasn't much information so congrats on being the Professor, I guess! Day 6 has been great, I prepare all my shakes in advance in the morning and keep them in the fridge. This is just like anything some preparation goes a long way. Except yesterday I pushed a little too hard on my HIIT and almost felt like collapsing right out there on the soccer field. At least it was a plush green and gorgeous sunny day, but being zonked out in the middle of nowhere is probably not a very good idea. So I might take it easy today.

[Dominikm]

Thanks and good stuff...

I would lay off the HIIT though, it's to much on the v diet IMHO, I did massive cardio last week and gainged 400g but now I just power walk to and from work daily (1hr 15mins) and i'm dropping again :)

[cawiau]

Just checking in people!
been kinda neglecting this thread lately, sorry!
I am back on the groove and hopefully will be able to hang in there till August 10

Thinking of doing another one in October ...will have too see ;)

[dugnom]

Ok I haven't fully started the V diet yet and not sure if I'm gonna. So far Mon and Tue I did a partial V diet cause I still have food left, and I just wanted to see how it feel on a workout (as far as shakes only). So what I did was consume shakes during the day and had a chicken breast and a half of cup of mixed frozen veggies for dinner and a cup of cottage cheese and 2 Tbs of peanut butter 1 hr before bed. So basically I had 1000 calories in shakes, 500 calories in real food, and 120 calories in (fish oil / flax)


I've lost 5lbs in 2 days

yeah Dominikm you're right about laying off the HIIT, the first 2 days I felt fine, but today I felt awful, and I'm not even on the full V diet yet.

I might try this partial V diet for a few more days I have a few tubs of cottage cheese and a few chicken breast left


I haven't ate anything today I might just say the hell with it and go a full 24 hours.

[justdragit]

dun dun dun dun ....


Weighed in at 245 tonight. if you remember correctly i was at 249 when i started 3 days ago. so all is well. :D

lol, told ya so :) Take it easy on the cardio :)

[PopeGregorius]

That happens on low carb diets, when you deplete glycogen stores in the liver.

[justdragit]

Well, weighed in at 241 this morning .. :D 4 more lbs since Wednesday!!

[Dominikm]

Hell yea! Day 27 is over! 1 more day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[heathershubby]

First I want you to know, I respect you as one of the helpful members of this forum, but I have to disagree.

For me, it comes Health then everything else. :)

but I have to answer this one :) To all concern this is not an argument just a clarification me and Arron are cool :)

I respect that but my question is are you married and do you have kids?

To explain my post I have heard many times that "if you are dead your no good to your family" and this is as true a statment as any but my post was to him quiting the V diet because of the stress it was causing him with the family.

If you lose you wife and kids because the V diet turns you into a carb lacking version of adolf hittler its not a good choice.

I understand it works and for single guys in college it may even be a great choice but for a man with a wife and kids it is not the priority. He can work on being healthy and eat carbs and bring happiness and calm back to the home

again sorry I been on vacation for a month

[Bellerose25]

Days 11-14 are the most boring, this is is like riding a bike. But I did realize that I was taking too few calories in, about 1300, way less then I should. But it does explain my 4lb lost. That's 13lbs, but that's a lot in a short period of time. So I have to tweak it a little. I didn't notice but are any of you partaking the one solid meal at the end of the week as outlined by Chris Shuggart? It doesn't seem like it, but I could have missed it.

[Dominikm]

i'm done...

But yea I did do the 1 meal a week option and it's really good, my losses are bigger the day after that any other day of the week, spike metabolism I guess and you body burns right through the food and fat that day/night...

Unless some can explain it better...

[WhiteIsle]

Hi! That's all the excitement I can muster. I'm on day 2 of the V-Diet and feel pretty blah. But it's great to find this thread. I'll post more when I conjur up the strength. I'm really happy right now because it's time for my shake with the peanut butter. Give-me-peanut-butter.............

[jklv]

Wow you guys are getting awesome results!!!
I'm expecting to lose about 2lb of fat lucky due to instructurs suggestions, but 5lb loss of non muscle in a week!!! It's great!

[Callie]

How many days/week is everyone training in the gym. Weights and cardio?

Just curious?....
