Starting the V-Diet 12/15/08: Details and Questions

December 16th, 2008 No Comments   Posted in Diet and Nutrition

Hey, I am starting the V-Diet tomorrow and would like to clarify something before I dive in. My approach is going to involve one HSM per day (I want to eat with my family.) Is this sample non-training day seem legit?

SAMPLE NON TRAINING DAY (1450cal)

Shake 1 (2 scoops plus half serving of milled flax seeds) 255cal
Shake 2 (2 scoops) 210cal
Shake 3 (2 scoops plus half serving of milled flax seeds) 255cal
HSM (345 cal)
Shake 4 (2 scoops plus half serving of milled flax seeds) 255cal
Fish Oil (13 tablets) 130cal

My V-Diet log w/pictures STARTING 12/15/09

December 16th, 2008 No Comments   Posted in Diet and Nutrition

My name is Jordan and I am a V-Dieter. There is no day but today. Throughout high school I was an overweight kid and once I started college I made the switch to a low carb lifestyle. I lost 50 lbs over that time and now I look good, but I want to look even better. I have decided that even though I keep a fairly clean diet and work hard in the gym, I need a drastic change to get cut.

The V-Diet will easily put me in a thousand calorie deficit from my previous diet/
I will be consuming 1440 cals on non training days and 1540 on training days with all carbs coming from flax seed and Surge.

My starting measurements are:
waist: 36in
chest: 40in
unflexed arm:14in
neck:15in

I will be doing a variation that Shug has mentioned though; eating one HSM per day with the alloted calories left from removing one shake. My TRAINING DAY:
shake1 with flax and 3fo
shake 2 with flax and 3f0
shake3 (.875 scoop) with flax and 3fo
shake4 with Surge
dinner
(.875 scoop) with flax and 3fo

My Progress Log

December 15th, 2008 No Comments   Posted in Diet and Nutrition

Well I guess I'll start my own thread about my Vdiet journey. I didn't make one at first but I've been bored lately and wanted to see what you guys have to say anyway.

(180×10.2)+879) x .5 = 1357
(180×10.2)+879) x .6 = 1630

I started at 180 lbs around 13-15% BF. currently my day looks like this

3 HOT-ROX
4 multivitamin made of plants and algae

5 Flameouts = 65 calories
10 scoops of Metabloic Drive = 1100 calories
6 tbsp flax seed = 180 calories
6 fiber choice tablets = technically 60 calories*
*(12g of it is actually fiber so i count 12 calories)

total calories = 1357
+Surge on workout days = 1682 so i overdo it by 50 cals with surge /shrug

So I'm on the end of day 9, i've had one solid meal so far on thanksgiving, i didn't OVERDO it but i did eat a shit ton of turkey and a bit of stuffing /shrug. i weighed myself this morning and i was at 175.8 i usually never eat any starches so i dunno if i had a lot of water weight to lose…

however the weight loss has slowed the last day or two. actually ive been fluctuating from 175 to 176 for the past 4 days…any thoughts on that?

i did the first "official Vdiet" workout yesterday and I liked it, so im gonna try and keep doing those. Im following the diet to a T, with zero slipups so far.

Genearlly i don't have cravings unless my jackass friends sit next to me with food i can smell, then i about go nuts but weirdly if i can just get good sniff in the craving goes away…

I'm REALLY looking forward to some veges nuts and meat this sunday for my solid healthy meal. Ill post some pics i took a the beginning of the diet and some i took today. any thoughts/advice/wisdom whatever would be greatly appreciated.

Most Up-to-Date V-Diet?

December 15th, 2008 No Comments   Posted in Diet and Nutrition

I've been spending hours following links and reading threads and I'm wondering if there's one concise explanation of the updated diet. It has evolved quite a bit over time- there's a lot of conflicting information.

Like just from here: http://www.T-Nation.com/…e_velocity_diet

to here: http://www.T-Nation.com/…78&pageNo=1

I don't know if I'm supposed to be using peanut butter or salmon caps. I don't know if my solid meal should be meat/carbs/veggies or oatmeal/blueberries. I don't know what kind of flax seed to use. And I don't know when to eat each of these things.

Is there someplace that just lays out the most updated diet? It would not take long to post if you know it- no explanations are needed- just the schedules/ingredients. I can handle doing the math to adjusting it to my weight myself (I'm 165 pounds).

The Ancillary Supplement Guide

December 15th, 2008 No Comments   Posted in Diet and Nutrition

The Velocity Diet requires four Biotest supplements pictured above:

Low-Carb Metabolic Drive
HOT-ROX Extreme
Surge Recovery
Flameout

… plus milled flax seeds (any brand is fine.)

However, one of the most common questions we get is, “Can I add this or that extra supplement? And if I can, how do I incorporate it?”

I’ve put together this guide to help answer the most common questions about additional supplements. But keep this in mind, you can have great success on the V-Diet with only the required supplements above. In fact, that’s all I used when formulating the diet (and I lost 16 pounds of fat in 4 weeks with no muscle loss.)

Still, here’s a guide to the most common ancillary product choices.

Velocity Diet Support Group

Well, the fat fast thread has served it's original group and is really named after something previous to the velocity diet, so I figured maybe it is time to start a new thread.

Velocity Diet Article
http://www.T-Nation.com/…ic.do?id=546491

Fat Fast Redux Thread
http://www.T-Nation.com/…ic.do?id=542025

Add me to the list of those that are going to be trying this plan. While I've got enough to get me started, I also have a nice order on the way for various tubs of Metabolic Drive!

The Maximum Strength HOT-ROX is patiently waiting to do its duty and the stockpile of milled flax seeds is also sitting all vacuum packed in a row.

I'm going to go pretty strict on this, perhaps a solid meal once each weekend, if only to keep things extremely simple and under control.

I've recently switched the workout into a higher volume lighter weight mode, so that I'll have had a short break from the 10×3 work before dropping back into it for this diet.

In order to make my life easy at work, I think I'll buy 24's of water. I'll get a dry empty bottle, toss in the Metabolic Drive!, milled flax seeds and possibly a touch of crystal light to flavor up the vanilla shakes and simply add water while on the job.

I'll post up-to-date vital statistics on monday when I get started. Anyone else just starting this plan hop in and let us know how it is going…

V-Diet Calculations Question

December 15th, 2008 No Comments   Posted in Diet and Nutrition

I'm thinking about doing the V-Diet in March (Need to save up funds for it) and it's looking like in order to meet my goals, I will be doing the second calculation for 30(+) lbs.

That's all good, but when looking at the recommended supplements (fish oil, flax, pb) I keep overshooting my total calories.

Obviously, one of the key components is getting 1 gram of protein per pound. Irregardless of where the protein comes from, I will be taking in 880 calories of protein. That only leaves me 370 calories for fat and fiber.

I can take in 30 grams of fat and 25 grams of carbs and not go over my calculations.

I guess my question is whether or not the '1 gram of protein per pound' is absolutely important, or if I could drop it down to say, .9 grams of protein (200 grams total) to place into my other macros.
