New Diet for 4-6 Weeks

Diet and Nutrition

I got off the V-Diet successfully 2 weeks ago and managed to get myself 20lbs slimmer from that, and I’ve finally transitioned into eating solid food throughout the day again (sorta), which was actually surprisingly difficult because i had this weird reluctance to part with my (relatively speaking) comfy routine of having shakes almost all the time.

I’m planning to do this for the next 4-6 weeks or so, with maybe and no more than one cheat meal in that entire period.

Breakfast: 1/2cup fiber one cereal and 3/4 cup of blueberries. 5 egg whites or one chicken breast (I portion all of mine pretty close to about a 20g/protein per piece serving)

About 5 scoops of Lo-Carb Metabolic Drive dispersed throughout the next 6-8 hours of the day (I go to school all day), again I’m pretty reluctant to give up my shakes. I grew to like em a lot, haha. Thank you V-Diet.

Then for the last three meals of the day, a chicken breast along with one small Hass avocado and a generous serving of green veggies (fresh or steamed, no added BS) for those three meals. So about 900 calories coming from the avocados.

Oh yeah, and I also take Flameout in the morning after breakfast and also at night or post-post-workout.

I’ve roughly calculated my caloric intake to be about 2100 a day, and I weigh 237 at 5’9". Net carb intake is actually pretty low, and most of em come from the shakes, I think about 40-45g carbs a day I calculated? I’m calculating about 210g’s of protein, give or take a few and I was thinking that’d be appropriate for my lean body mass. On workout days I take down two scoops of Surge, so one of my shakes is replaced with that. I didn’t get all the numbers down exact to the last minute detail, so please forgive me.

So what do you guys think? Am I a retard or does this sound reasonable? My goal is for steady weight and fat loss, and I was thinking about stokin’ the fire with a diet filled with healthy fats in the evenings and taking out as many carbs as possible. Any suggestions, flames, feedback, highly appreciated.

As per someone who also just got done transitioning off the velocity diet, I want to first say congrats on the weight loss. It’s a pretty amazing jump start. I like the diet but have one suggestion. One thing I might add would be a carb-up and higher calorie day. Alot of people take this as a “cheat day” and eat whatever they want which it absolutely should not be.

Some whole wheat bread with no sugars added , oatmeal, some fruit etc strictly clean carbs to help stimulate your body a little bit and maybe up the caloric intake to 3500 that day. I’ve noticed this has helped me to steadily start to drop weight. I usually consume around 10-20 carbs a day minus pwo shakes and really feel like the carb-up day has really helped my body start to slim itself out and make me feel better (could just be in my head but who knows)

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it. Shugart wasn’t joking when he said the psychological effects of the V-diet was the big prize to completing it, I really don’t feel like eating crap foods at all and eating healthy in general is easy and feels like a “cheat” joy now. I likey a lot.

The once a week clean-carb-and-calorie-up day sounds interesting. What would be a good round amount of carbs I should consume on that day, and what day of the week would you recommend I implement this on? And also, would you consider steamed brown rice a “clean” carb? Controlled portions, of course.

Congrats on the weight loss, and very nice transition cycle!. If I had to change one thing though it would be the addition of more protein. I myself am taking in at LEAST 230grams and I only weigh 194…besides that I have to say that you are most likely eating cleaner than I. About the brown rice, I know that its better for you than white rice and all but I might recommend Quinoa seeing as it is just about the best carb source available AND protein source as well since it carries ALL of the essential amino acids that you need. I also hear that it has many different recipes and tastes good with either fruit or vegetable. I don’t have experience with it yet but I’m hearing great things about it and they have a nice price on amazon so I’m going to use it for when I start the T-dawg 2.0 diet.
