Trying the Velocity Diet

Nutrition
1

Hi there,
Just to introduce myself i’m a 25 yr old girl from australia and i’ve been working out on and off for a few years now but have not been as serious about it as i am now.

firstly this is an awsome site that has helped me out alot and ive decided to try the Velocity Diet to hopefully lose a little extra fat before my wedding later in the year.

at the moment i am doing
tues: back and bi’s
wed: legs, abs
Fri: chest, shoulders and tri’s
sat: HIIT
sun: HIIT, legs

my question is, do the HIIT cardio days require the increased calories (from carbs PWO) that a workout day like tues/wed/fri would, or are they treated as non-workout days because im not doing any weights?

any comments would be appreciated 8)

I would definitely aim for a good carbs & protein PWO meal, especially since you`re doing lots of leg work (together with HIIT) in a week.

The Velocity plan does not recommend HIIT at all. Are you sure you’re doing the Velocity Diet?

The diet im following in summary is:
6 protein shakes a day
2x fibre supplement
2x 30g seeds/nuts(fats) per day
200-300calories of liquid carbs mainly PWO - only on workout days…
although i wasnt aware there was an exercise protocol for the diet… should i be cutting out all cardio?

Can you list your exact supplements please?

No milled flax? No fish oil?

The training advice is in the original articles. Basically, 3 full body weight training sessions per week with heavy weights. No “cardio,” but daily fast walks are recommended.

I see that you’re in Australia so I’m not sure how that will affect you getting the right supplements for the diet, but please don’t start the V-Diet until you do (if you plan on doing a true Velocity plan.) I want you to succeed, and following the diet closely is crucial.

Any questions, let me know or run a search for the multiple V-Diet threads on this site.
