Want to lose fat fast? Try the Velocity Diet!

Notice I used the word "fat" and not weight. The distinction is important. Too often, people make the mistake of trying to lose weight and in the process they do end up a few pounds less but their fat content is pretty much same. So you go from being fat fat to skinny fat. Now that sucks.

So what to do? Well if you are serious about losing fat fast and without affecting your hard earned muscles then take a gander at the Velocity Diet.

The premise of the V-Diet  is too focus only on protein while keeping your overall calories low. How? By taking a liquid protein diet. Now you may be wondering what's the benefit of an all liquid diet. Well several. By taking a liquid diet you improve the bodies digestion process since digesting liquids is easier than solids. In addition you can easily control the amount of food you consume so counting calories will be a lot simpler.

This may seem extreme to some but Velocity Diet is based on science. It has taken inspiration from PSMF(Protein Sparing Modified Fast) which basically put morbidly obese patients on a liquid diet to help them lose weight so that they could be operated upon. Velocity Diet is different however in that it is a diet that is meant for athletes. The main difference is the amount of protein you will consume.


Velocity Diet Cheat Sheet:
a) You'll be taking in 6 shakes a day for the next 4 weeks. (Don't go beyond 4 weeks)


b) The shakes must be low in fat and carbs and high in protein. Which protein? That's entirely up to your taste buds and budget. Make sure your protein is made up of micellar casein because it absorbs more slowly in your body which allows you to feel full, satisfied and keeps your blood sugar stable. I recommend Xtreme Formulations Ultra Peptide


c) You are allowed one HSM (Healthy Solid Meal) each week. HSM does not mean cheat food. You must eat some lean source of protein and healthy carbs and fats. Notice it says ONE MEAL! You will still have your protein shakes but on that specific day you can replace one of those protein shakes with a HSM. 


d) You must take in additional sources of fiber and multivitamins. I recommend Myogenix Pro Fiber 
and Magnum Nutraceuticals Performance Edge.


e) Drink at least a gallon of water per day. 


And there you have it, a relatively simple but very effective fat loss diet. It is not uncommon for people to lose anywhere between 15-20 lbs in 4 weeks. It will be psychologically challenging because you will feel an emptiness associated with a lack of solid food but if you can push past that, you'll be on the road to success.

If you want to learn more about Velocity Diet then check out this article from T-Nation. They actually customize your diet plan for you and tell you exactly how many calories to take in. Avoid the products they are asking you to buy, not because they are ineffective but because you should make the best choice in terms of supplementation. On the other hand, if you want the convenience of everything being done for you, you can go ahead and order their package. Just remember, commitment and consistency!!!
