Re: Velocity Diet - Started Today
Is there any reason you're starting the velocity diet so soon? From your measurements it seems you have a long way to go, I think you should consider a more sustainable diet for the time being. You could then later use the V-diet to do a final cut.
Also your workout program has overtraining written all over it. It's easy to get impatient, but you'll probably be happier and better off with a slower program and diet. |

Re: Velocity Diet - Started Today
for this stuff, the waist measurement is generally taken around the belly button

Way too much intensity in your cardio and volume. Reread the Chris Shugart articles.

I wanted to do velocity to jump start my progress, then go on something more long term, then do a final cut with velocity again.

Re: Velocity Diet - Started Today
Would 30 mins of cardio be more acceptable on training? I planned to keep it at 1 hr of low intensity. I just prefer elliptical over treadmill. Also, how does the lifting program look? I've basically been doing the lifting program for a few weeks already and been pleased with my lifting gains thus far.

Re: Velocity Diet - Started Today
You're lifting program is pretty bad to start with for a beginner this is a more advanced diet and you should be on a low volume/low intensity maintenance lifting portion for this. Also if you reread the original article Chris Shugart mentions doing walking each day since he doesn't think his body can handle much more intensity.
Also if you are using regular MD, then it defeats the whole purpose as it is a MRP. You also lack enough fats in your diet. To be blunt you have no clue what you are doing and are setting yourself up for a massive failure. You aren't even following the original recommendations in even a fairly vague sense. |

Re: Velocity Diet - Started Today
No, it was definitely the low carb version and I probably won't be using much more of it as it tastes horrible compared to the ON Vanilla. Aren't I getting enough fats from the Flameout? He basically said in the updated version that Flameout could be substituted instead of the fish oil caps. Do I need to add in the Flax for extra fat?
