Remembered to step on the scale today: 187.8. I’m down 13.2lbs in 41 days, just about 2.2lbs a week. And, once again: that’s WITHOUT 100% compliance with the Velocity Diet as laid out, WITHOUT a goal of fat loss. And, in turn, I am getting crazy lean, with summer around the corner, so that’s pretty awesome.
I am planning on a higher intensity phase of training coming up, which will necessitate a few more calories to recover, but I intend to carry a LOT of the lessons learned from the Velocity Diet into that experience. I’m still planning on book ending my days with the diet, starting and ending with a shake.
But, just like @Chris_Shugart wrote here
My plan is to go “paleo-esque” for my increased calories. I write “esque” because I’m a pedant and fully aware that the food I have access to does NOT resemble what paleo-man ate. But still: plan is to base the nutrition around meat, whole pasture raise eggs, avocados and nut butters, and most likely just make it into some sort of Stan Efferding-esque “monster mash”. Or maybe even a Shepard’s pie. I don’t need Frankenfoods: real food is delicious.
