V-Diet: The Indisputable Secret to Body Transformation
I'm Going to Tell You a Secret
It's a secret that took me over 10 years to fully grasp, a secret most people in the fields of fitness and health don't want you to know. Here it is:
The best way to make a jaw-dropping body transformation is through a powerful explosion of intense, focused effort that forces your body to change.
Wait, forget that I wrote "the best way."
The real truth is, in my 10-plus years as a fitness and bodybuilding journalist, I've never seen a single person make a dramatic visual change in his or her body using the slow, steady, and "sensible" approach.
Those "sensible" people are the ones you see in the gym every day who looked the same last year... and the year before that. You may also recognize that person as the man or woman staring back at you from the mirror.
Make no mistake, the human animal is a predator. He does not reach his goal (his "prey") with half-ass efforts and "kinda sorta" wanting it. No, the achievement of a goal is not a marathon, but an aggressive sprint — short, but powerfully intense.
Bad habits must be broken.
Sticking points in muscle and strength gains must be smashed.
Plateaus in fat loss must be hammered to pieces.
There's no question about it: Rapidly losing body fat, building muscle, and breaking negative behavioral habits are acts of violence.
The Velocity Diet is a science based, rapid body-transformation program that's so powerful and so effective that the results border on being unbelievable.
But this system is not for everyone. The V-Diet requires a level of commitment that many people simply aren't ready for. This burning commitment is sparked by frustration and even anger. The truth is, if you're not a little angry about your current level of progress, then you shouldn't even attempt the V-Diet.
On the other hand, if you're sick of spinning your wheels, if you're mad about the body you see in the mirror, and if you're more than willing to commit to 28 days of intense but highly effective body fat and bad habit removal, then the V-Diet has unlocked the door.
On the other side of that door is a lean, muscular, athletic body. Whether you open it or not is up to you.
My Personal Velocity Experience
In January of 2005, I looked in the mirror and didn't like what I saw. Sure, I was in good shape. After all, I was a journalist in the fitness industry, so I'd better have some muscle on me and look fairly lean, right?
I'd made progress over the years, going from 35% body fat in college to somewhere in the teens. Problem was, I'd never really achieved that lean, abs-on-full-display look. I thought, "Man, I work hard in the gym, and my diet's pretty good too. So why do I still feel uncomfortable taking my shirt off at the pool?"
I knew that my nutritional habits were pretty good, but they weren't perfect. I still struggled to choose the right foods and not overeat. Despite all I'd accomplished, all the weight I'd lost, I still had some residual "fat-guy cravings" for foods that kept me from getting as lean as I wanted.
I trained hard in the gym too, but that last layer of fat hid the hard-earned muscle. I decided right then to make one last effort to uncover my abs.
Since I was already working out several times a week, I knew I had to do something extreme with my diet to shed that stubborn layer of fat. Being a writer and editor in the fitness and athletic biz, I had access to a lot of nutrition experts, research scientists, athletes, and bodybuilders: men and women who knew a lot about getting lean very fast without losing muscle.
I picked their brains and eventually came up with a strict (and honestly quite extreme) diet plan, based loosely on Protein-Sparing Modified Fasts, which are dietary regimens very overweight patients at hospitals are put on before they get certain surgical procedures.
I instinctively knew that a full-body training program, performed three times per week, would best fit such an extreme diet's needs. So, in order to develop the ultimate training program for the V-Diet, I consulted with strength and conditioning coach Chad Waterbury (who also happens to be a neurophysiologist, ex-bouncer, and current performance enhancement expert).
I wrote an article about the diet plan and published it online with a "don't try this at home" warning. It was an experiment after all; I had no idea how — and if — it would even work.
The Shocking Results
In four weeks I lost sixteen pounds of fat and four inches off my waist. My body-fat percentage hit the single digit mark for the first time in my life. I could see all of my abs. Finally!
I also noticed a peculiar side effect, too. During the diet I'd somehow lost all my cravings for fattening foods, like sweets and fried stuff. I'd even developed new tastes for healthier foods I'd never liked before, like green vegetables.
"Well," I thought, "that's weird. But I like it! And it'll sure make maintaining the fat loss easier."
I published another article about my results and the effect was immediate: A whole lot of people wanted to try the diet. And for the next several years, that's exactly what happened.
Everyone Wanted In
The feedback was universal: People who'd been struggling to lose fat for years were able to achieve great results in only 28 days. And the best part was, the positive changes in eating habits and taste preferences didn't seem to be a fluke: Most people who closely followed the diet reported the same experiences.
Soon other fitness experts and coaches contacted me wanting to do the diet. Christian Thibaudeau, Dan John, Joel Marion and others, all published experts, used my diet to break their lingering bad habits and shed body fat in record time.
Coach Dan John lost 23 pounds and 5 inches off his belly measurements in only 4 weeks. A short time after the V-Diet, Dan set a Master's State Record in the snatch lift, 105-kilo division.
Fitness expert Joel Marion, despite having his own diet philosophies, used the V-Diet to shed some winter fat. He went from 242 pounds to 226 in only 28 days. "This may be one of the easiest, rapid fat loss programs you ever do. I highly recommend it," he noted.
Bodybuilding coach Christian Thibaudeau used the V-Diet twice, once to get ready for a bodybuilding competition and once to modify his dietary habits. "The Velocity Diet really helped me to get back on track," he confessed.
I soon asked Chad Waterbury to write a custom training plan, specially designed just for those on this diet. To test out the latest version of the plan, I put Testosterone Muscle reader Gus Pancho (yes, that's his real name) on the latest version of the V-Diet:
Gus, 37 years old, lost 40 pounds and nine inches from his belly during and after his Velocity Diet experience. The V-Diet itself helped him kick-start his transformation. He lost 21 pounds and five inches from his waist in 28 days. Gus says the taste and dietary habit changes he achieved with the V-Diet helped him during the last three months of his incredible transformation.
Today, thanks to the feedback of hundreds of people, four years of continued research, and improvements in the nutritional supplement field, I've been able to expand and improve the original plan, which I'd dubbed the Velocity Diet because it worked so fast.
"V-Dieters," as they call themselves, have since formed a massive online community. There they log their progress, post their photos, and provide support to other people on the diet.
Whether your goal is to lose that last 15 pounds of fat and finally see your abs, kick-start a healthier lifestyle, or squash your bad nutritional habits forever, the Velocity Diet may be just what you're looking for.
"Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion," said writer Arnold Glasgow. "You have to set yourself on fire."
The question is, are you ready to ignite?
Program Overview
Rapid body transformation requires two things for success:
1. A state-of-the-art diet and training program, based on hardcore science, and...
2. Your commitment to stick with the program.
We're providing the program. You're providing the commitment.
I built The Velocity Diet system with the help of two world-class experts, exercise physiologist Dr. Tim Ziegenfuss and expert strength and conditioning coach Chad Waterbury.
The program is rock solid and complete, and requires nothing other than you doing it as outlined.
The program is comprised of two phases: a 4-week base program and a 2-week transition period, for a total of 6 weeks.
The eating plan is a protein-sparing liquid diet that provides one solid meal per week.
The training program consists of 3 weightlifting workouts per week and 1 bodyweight exercise session, called The V-Burn Challenge, which is performed on Saturday or Sunday.
You'll also do NEPA walks and NEPA activities each day. NEPA stands for Non-Exercise Physical Activity, and is included to further boost metabolic rate thus burning additional fat, and to speed recovery from training.
All of these concepts will be laid out in detail in other parts of the program.
