I am here to report that I am aborting mission. VanessaNicole was 100% correct. I had a manic episode this weekend. I didn't sleep any Sunday or Monday. I ate some oatmeal, a banana, and some baked chicken Monday afternoon, and crashed for nearly 20 hours.


All I can report is that I lost 10lbs in a week. The diet was working beautifully, but I don't have the capability to continue coarse. I'm switching back to a more sensible diet that Jodi made me some time back.

10 pounds in a week? Just how much of that do you think was fat, versus muscle and water?

Well, I actually dropped 15, but I discounted at least 5lbs as water. My body rebounded extremely quickly, and I am 10lbs lighter after rebounding. I am scared to know how weak I am going to be in the gym today.

Personally, I think the diet sucks. There is no fucking way that someone with a lot of muscle is going to be able to retain their muscle on that diet.

Would you mind posting how you felt about today's workout in this thread (in addition to your journal)?

If it took you 4 months to get ripped on that diet, then you must have been one fat fuck.

You son of a bitch. I wasn't going to post it, but you just had to ask. Yes, I am weaker than dogshit. I am literally half as strong as I was before I started. No, I am not misusing the word. I am in fact half as strong as when I started in many of my lifts.

I will not be posting numbers. I am pissed off. I need a day to regroup and plan my next move.

Sorry to hear that, man. But! When I did the HIT stuff a while ago, I came back weaker. At least in terms of PRs.However, just two weeks later I was hitting new PRs. Give it a couple of weeks and see how it goes.

I am upping the carbs, and giving velocity another try. I already lost much of my strength, now I have nothing to lose really. I'll call this velocity part II

Why not do the velocity and do a carb up every 3 days?

Good for you, I'm proud of you.

Just know that a lot of that was water weight that you lost.

Besides that, it's very possible to lose weight with a sensible diet plan.

And anyway, isn't the most important thing to feel good? To me that comes before looking good.

And personally I don't even like it when people look uber-shredded, which would be the only reason to diet that way.

I prefer a more natural form of definition.

Was thinking about velocity, but I rather cut carbs slightly, and clean up the diet even more than I have been. Just seems like the right thing to do. Maybe summer time I will try this before hitting the beach or pool party (2-3 weeks max).

Kelju, I know this is pretty much over, but I have a question. Have you ever had any sort of bloodwork done? Glucose tolerance test, that sort of thing?

I'm just curious..... Just seems like the "symptoms" you experienced were a little extreme.

Anyway, I agree with Ms. Nicole, a sensible diet is just as effective.

Good luck.

Ok, so here is what I have figured out with some experimentation.

I can not follow the original velocity diet because by the second or third day I start having some malfunctions. I researched Hypoglycemia, and I am certain that is what starts happening to me.

So I made some changes to the diet and completely alleviated the problem. Every morning, I have 2 servings of oatmeal along with the other items I consume during the velocity diet.

Another problem was my fear of losing most of my strength which seemed to be happening until I made another change. On lifting days, I added in 2 servings of oatmeal to the meal which precedes my workout by 3-4 hours. After doing this, I was able to throw up nearly the same amount of weight that I was lifting when I was 15lbs heavier. I have been doing this for the past week, and all of my negative symptoms are gone.

I was surprised. I didn't think it would make that much of a difference. The weight is still coming off, only a little bit slower. I can deal with that. I picked this diet, not because it was the best, but because it was the hardest I had ever seen. I am going to hit my goal of 220, then I'll switch over to a more moderate diet.


Also, I didn't waste my money on the surge and other supps listed in the diet. I think that decision was what was hurting me. I'm not saying I should have bought them, but instead I should have substituting them with an equivalent food souce. The more changes I make the farther I get away from the velocity diet, so I guess what I am doing is just a hybrid now.

Whats funny is that I would hold this true against a diet of eating cardboard 24 hours a day.

I remember way back in the day, when people used to post 'improvements' on their diets and they still got shit on. For example, someone would come in and say they ate McDonalds everyday. Then after some advice, theyd eat McDonalds twice a week. I say good job on the improvement and the Mr & Mrs. Know-it-Alls said shit that meant that it wasnt good enough. When I agreed and said to cut the newbies some slack, I got yelled at as well.

Thats the only reason why I think a certain someone dislikes me.

great...I've been looking into the velocity diet for the past few days and was going to go with it until I did a search on here and ran into this thread..

I guess I know more about this diet from here then the T-nation's forum provides.

How come everyone there is so excited about it, and everywhere else people are so negative about it.

Also, anyone seen the difference in velocity diet 3.0, the recent one

All diets are based around creating a caloric deficit dude (fat loss ones anyway). IMO there are a LOT better ways to do that than this pretty absurd diet.

If you want fast fat loss, run a PSMF cycle. It will be just as effective while being safer with scientific research on the muscle sparing effects of the diet.
