congrats oh pushing through it, i know a lot of people wouldnt have.
according to the measurements you lose a little over 7lb. of fat which in 4 weeks is really good IMO, it would be for me anyway (thats usually just a little less than how much i need to lose during a whole cut which takes me 12 weeks). however that means you lost 11lb. of LBM. i'm sure some was obviously water and glycogen, too bad its impossible to tell exactly how much was

Sorry it took so long for the final numbers and pics. My final weight (as of Tuesday) was 177 (down 18 lbs.) @ 11.3% bf (down 2.7%). You can check out the pics on my bodyspace website here. If the link doesn't work, let me know and I'll figure something out. I have not done much with the site besides keep track of my weight so far, but all of the V-Diet pics are there. I only took front-relaxed pics for whatever reason, but whatever. I do not notice as much change in the pictures as I do in real life, but still, I did not get the results that I was expecting. Maybe I was expecting too much from it but I feel like I lost a lot of strength and didn't lose enough fat, especially around my belly.

About 1/2 way through the diet I was feeling pretty miserable and very anti-social. I was really pissed off all of the time and I was just un-motivated with everything, especially lifting b/c I was not improving with weights, which is one of the main things that I use to keep me motivated. Of course, it was very socially restricting since I could not eat food, but I still went out with my friends to movies and restaurants, I just brought a couple of shakes and some fish oil. That was kind of tough sometimes, but I purposely put myself in that situation to test my willpower and discipline, and I didn't give in which I am proud of.

My first meal on Tuesday was some chicken, peppers, onions, garlic, mushrooms, and eggs, and it was glorious. I am trying to transition into the Anabolic Diet right now, so I am eating a lot of protein and fats, but I'm still only at 2 meals a day, so I'm not eating too much yet.

One suggestion that I have that my help is to start taking your Hot-rox about 1 to 1 1/2 weeks in advance of the V-Diet so you will be fully acclaimated to it and taking 4 a day during the entire thing. I had to go about 1 1/2 weeks before I was taking 4 a day without feeling anxious after the morning dose.

Anyway, I'll gladly answer any questions that you might have. Thanks for the support!

Yes, I am still trying to lose fat. I may have had too high of expectations for the v-diet, but I am not as ripped as I had expected. Also, this diet can be used for bulking (as I understand) so there would be a smooth transition and I could just change it into my lifestyle (if that makes sense). I saw that you said you have some suggestions for the last guy who posted a thread about the AD and I was going to ask you after I have finished looking things over. Also, I thought that instead of 3-4 weeks with no carbs I would be able to go 1-2 since I have been on the v-diet for 4 weeks, plus the 1-2 week transition period where I won't have many carbs. What do you think?

on the AD u only go the first 2 weeks without a carb up anyway. i'm not completely sure how u would transition from teh v-diet to the AD diet but the 2 week initial phase of keto/AD seems like it would be a good transition from the v-diet. once u start ur thread about it i'll be happy to help u out with it. let me know when u do though cause i generally dont look in the online journal section unless i'm "subscribed" to a thread in it and get some email telling me a reply is made.

Last Day!

Anyway, I've been looking for something to do after I'm done coming off of this diet and the anabolic diet has struck my interest. I'm researching it now and I'll post a thread with questions later but tomorrow I'll give my final numbers and I might have the pics from the V-Diet.

looking forward to the pics, are u still trying to lose fat after this diet? i like the concept of the AD but theres some changes i think would benefit u from the start if u do decide to do it

My gym just got all new free-weight equipment so it was closed down for the past couple of days so I had to take a few days off. I got to start back up today and I was unpleasantly surprised. I have been doing dumbell bench for the past 6 weeks as opposed to barbell bench. Today, I started doing barbell again and I was really struggling with weight that I had no problem with before (225x10 instead of 15+, 245x5 instead of 12, 275x1 instead of 6). I'm wondering if it is because of the diet or the bumbell press, or a combination of both.

Anyway, only 3 1/2 days to go.

Alright, 3 weeks down, 1 to go (plus the up to 2 weeks of coming off). I am down to 183 lbs. and 12% bf. In certain light, I can see some definition that I have never seen before, so that is good. I do feel that I have lost some strength though. Hopefully I will be able to gain it back quickly when I am done.

How so? I was told that they were very accurate. Are they at least consistant?
