V-Diet Cost

Has anyone else noticed that the V-Diet is basically a ridiculously good way to make customers buy a shit load of Biotest products?

I know a lot of you people on here follow Biotest like sheep, but you have to admit this is basically marketing at its best!

I calculated that a month worth of V-Diet is well over 400 dollars.

So why can’t you just spend that 400 dollars and follow a clean diet? I don’t anyone who thinks eating a month of powders is healthy for your body. Even Christian Thibaudeau says he is not a fan of this, and I understand that he is highly respected on here.

Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this?

Hopefully I won’t be bashed to hell here. As a side not I do enjoy Biotest Surge because it’s not very expensive and tastes great. So don’t be quick to call me a Biotest hater.

don’t worry many others agree

You save money on food. The cost evens out, and is probably cheaper if you otherwise eat a high-protein diet.

Yea its true. I calculated how much I would need for the V-diet. In Metabolic Drive alone it was 320 bucks. It may be a great marketing strategy but thats what the hole site is.

Alot of articles plug in their products for any diet or routine. I’m okay with it though because I like their products and once you try them you probubly would too (other then maybe the price).

Its hard to believe everything you hear from a website that sells the product. Its not exactly an indifferent third party.

When I attempted it I bought my own brand supplements. It was still outrageously (sp) expensive.

It’s not a money-saving diet, but then again what Gus and others have accomplished is pretty amazing in my book.

You need to remember that it’s not a long-term diet either. It’s all about dropping fat really fast, so it’s not like you have the spend the money to do it for very long.

With this in mind I don’t think the cost is all that bad. Sure, you could always do something cheaper, but some of us don’t mind paying for convenience.

But could the V-Diet provide the results it does without the supplemental support?

We are talking about a very extreme diet option here for cutting a considerable amount of fat in a short period of time without muscle loss (and for some a little muscle gain).

Besides which it changes tastes and eating habits, and fixes (or at least begins the process of fixing) insulin resistance problems.

You could do the V-Diet without buying all Biotest products, or while using fewer supplements, but, it would not be the V-Diet anymore and would not give the same results (especially if you are not using comparable amounts of supplements).

You can’t get something for nothing.

Would you have them avoid offering a description of an effective diet just because it requires a lot of their quality products?

Maybe they could have written an article about the moderate results of a diet featuring whey concentrate and Hydroxycut.

Funny thing is the inventor of this diet Shugart, has yet to post his own pics. When asked how much bodyfat he lost he simply said I don’t know, but it was a lot.

This diet is just another Biotest plug in my opinion. Shugart even had to write an article called “Why Metabolic Drive Only.” Complete fallacy, as you can use any protein you wish.

So far Gus is all I have seen.

Also, it may be easy but this diet is very unhealthy even if you are extremely overweight.

Eating powder for a month?? I can’t imagine the kind of harm your body takes.

It is geared for people who’ve tried “weight loss pills” in the past and want to try it all over again. It’s the same concept. Money and temporary discomfort… instead of dedication and hard work.

Yup, you can’t knock Shugart’s hustle. He has made Biotest a ton of $$$ from 150 lbs kids trying to get SHREDDED

So what is exactly the V-diet in that case.

Eat Metabolic Drive instead of food for a month?

In that case you can buy ON 100% Whey and called it the W-Diet?

Come one.

Have you even read that thread?

Jesus people, calm down. It’s a PSMF, plain and simple. It’s just marketed differently. It’s great to shed fat quickly. I find it useful if my bulking “cycle” ends up with a little excess blubber.
