How tall are you?
Sounds to me like that the “taste changes” in the V diet didn’t work. Cereal for breakfast and lunch? Only three meals/day? Not enough protein. Not enough veggies. unless this isn’t your real diet, or you left things out. If so, post what you’re actually eating.
Second, you need to do some reading on proper nutrition.
Third, what are you goals?
Fourth, it boggles my mind how you just don’t do any physical activity or go the gym for two weeks. I haven’t lifted since friday, and I’m ready to get the hell back in there tomorrow (or right now). Get the hell back to the gym. Work towards your goal.
Maybe you gained muscle and that’s how your clothes are tighter. If your goals were to gain weight, then success! but if not then, less success perhaps. It’s a mental game. Being fat before requires that you sort of step outside your box when you’re not dieting or trying to gain weight.
If you’re lifting, doing some cardio and eating well, it’s not as if you’ll explode back up to your former fat self. Sometimes you have to take a step back and realize that.[/quote]
Hi boyscout,
I’m 5’4’'.
Taste changes might have not worked, but I am no where eating as much as I used to be. I’ve only actually put 2lbs on from my last weighing period (which was the transition period of the V-Diet).
Second, I know about Nurtition - i’ve read forums, i’ve read stickies, i’ve read posts… the lot. So now you are probably thinking well WTF why Cereal? Well basically, its been the only thing that I can eat quickly and forget about it and continue doing what I’m doing. When eating cereal I’m no longer obsessed by food - all of this eat every 2-3 hours makes my mind completley obsessed by food and I actually think it makes me worse of because my body then looks forward to the next meal, which ovbiously leads to weight gain for me and severly disrupts my day.
Third, my goals are to be slimmer and have some muscle. I’m not looking to be no Rambo even thought I’d love to be like that ( I mean who wouldn’t?) I just want to look trim, average I suppose you could say with muscle in general.
Fourth, The reason for not having gone to the gym is down to the fact that I was ILL, very ill so I’ve not been able to. I’ve done walking for about 1.5 miles, but thats about it (every day).

Sometimes, it’s hard to believe that these are actually serious posts.
With the amount of information on T-Nation, the internet and numerous books on the topics of training and nutrition, you’d think someone would have managed to progress a little further along than just eating cereal for breakfast and lunch.
Not to mention that this guy used the V-diet when he was only 172lbs to begin with. Can we say, “Never go full retard?”
Do you see the stickies at the top of this forum? Read them. All of them. [/quote]
Nothing constructive here.
Yes V-Diet when 172lbs, no problem - 14lbs lost and I was certainly chuffed with that. Whats wrong with me doing the V-Diet at 172lbs? I lost 14lbs didn’t I?

Your clothes are tighter because you haven’t been lifting and all of a sudden have gained a bunch of fat. It happens. Especially when you have a shitty carb-laden diet.
Read the stickies. Develop a real diet. Good luck. [/quote]
Hi Otep,
So you say I’ve gained fat… how is this possible?? from not doing any lifting??
How have I gained this fat, without gaining weight? thats what I cant understand.
Is it easy to get that fat off, or is it the same as any other fat? (I’ll have to do cardio to get it off?)
With regards to the diet, my main reason for it being shitty- yeh I agree - is like I said above… so that I can keep my mind the hell off of food, where I eat… feel full… and carry on. I just find it impossible to not become obsessed with food when I find myself making proper diets.
Replies appriciated.
