Answering Your Questions
In addition to ice-cold water, what about coffee, tea, or diet soda?
Non-caloric beverages are fine if they don’t interfere with your pulses or water drinking.
Isn’t this just a crazy starvation diet?
No. Here’s the scoop:
- The Velocity Diet provides five healthy feedings per day. You’re consuming a few hundred calories every few hours or so. That’s hardly “starving.”
- The Velocity Diet has more healthy calories than most popular and widely accepted diets, ranging from those based on clinical weight loss to the frozen-meal plans.
- The Velocity Diet provides more than ample protein, one gram per pound of body weight for most people.
- The Velocity Diet provides more healthy fats than the average non-dieter consumes, especially omega-3s.
- The Velocity Diet provides nutrients equivalent to eating between 10 and 12 average servings of organic fruits and vegetables daily. (These come mainly from the Superfood component of the diet.)
Won’t I be just a little hungry?
Maybe, but it’s a fat-loss diet, and you need some willpower first as your body rids itself of unnatural cravings. But there’s no “starving” or malnourishment. The Velocity Diet provides hyper-nourishment.
Isn’t the Velocity Diet expensive?
Not really. You’ll buy the supplement kit to start the diet, but your grocery bill will drastically decrease. You won’t have to buy breakfast, lunch, or snacks.
Many note that the 28 days on the Velocity plan is often less expensive than eating all solid food for four weeks, especially if you usually eat fast food or restaurant meals.
There’s also no alcohol on the plan. So you may be saving money there as well.
Also, remember the typical Metabolic Drive® pulse costs less than $2.00.
Can I Skip the HSM for Faster Results?
No. This healthy solid meal is vital to the success of the diet for three main reasons:
- The HSM helps you stick to the diet. If you have a weak moment during the day, you’ll know you have a great meal to look forward to in the evening. It also makes social occasions easier to deal with: dates, business meetings, and holidays can count as your solid meal.
- The HSM retrains your body and brain to prefer healthier foods. This meal teaches you what many experts call “mindful eating,” which is key to long-term leanness.
- The HSM ensures success. Those who eat unhealthy foods during their HSM or skip the HSM altogether get less spectacular results. They also won’t experience the long-term taste-preference changes that make the Velocity Diet so powerful.
Can I do the Velocity Diet for more than four weeks?
Yes. There’s nothing nutritionally lacking from the Velocity plan. Many also find it convenient. You don’t have to worry about food until the evening, reducing your time spent grocery shopping, planning meals, cooking, and cleaning up.
