Ask Chris
Here on the V-Diet forum, I see a lot of new T-Muscle members asking me questions in other people’s threads. These are easy for me to miss, plus they sorta hijack the other person’s Velocity Diet thread.
So, here’s a thread for those questions. Fire away.
But remember: One, I may not be able to answer all questions. (You: “Chris, will you write me a complete training and diet program, then come train me and cook for me and give me free supplements…” Me: “Um, no.”) And two, be sure to use our search function and the “Start Here” thread:

Poke around a bit before firing off a question. You may be able to find your answer in 30 seconds instead of waiting on me.
Thanks! Looking forward to your questions!
I Have a Few Questions about the V-Diet
I work a 2:30pm to 10:30pm shift and might workout either before or after.
1)If i do it after work I usually go to bed around 2-3 am so does that mean i should take Surge around bed time if i workout after work?
2) do you recommend mixing the shakes with smart water, because I read it keeps you hydrated?
3) how many times can you do the V-Diet in a 6 month to 12 month period and can you do it back to back? If not what is the wait period?
4)Is it okay if I use benefiber?
5) how long should I wait before going into the beast building program on T-Nation after this diet? Can I do the V-Diet before and after the beast building program?
6) How many low carb Metabolic Drive containers do you recommend because in one place I see 10, another 11m and one says 13. I plan on doing this program with my fiance so that might be double the supplements.
Thank you for your replies to my questions in advance.

Most Up-to-Date V-Diet?
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).

I’m Gonna Take the Plunge
Well, I've been running out of time, in 2 weeks I'll be putting my waivers in the the military to see if i can get back in. And well, I'm not in the shape I need to be in. Anyway, every time I log onto T-Nation I drop by here and think about doing it, then eventually talk myself out of it because I don't have the money, or whatever else. But, I still don't quite have the money but once I get paid friday I'm put the order in. I don't buy my food aroudn the house so I can't justify it that way, but I do realize that I've been spending probably 80 a week eating out.
Anyway, one question for Chris, I posted earlier about doing this with boxing and what not, but I need to work on my cardio in a bad way. Hm, I can't find the magazine I found it in, but it talked about helping your cardio from intense anaerobic exercise, whats your thoughts on that? I'd find the article but I'm out of time and can't look through 30 GQs and mens journals for it.

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.

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…
