End of V-diet and on to Mass Made Simple
I started my mass made simple phase on Monday. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches… yummmm.
Results of my vdiet and transition – lost 8.4kg/18.5lbs in a little less than 6 weeks. I’m sure there was some water weight in there but I also clipped 15 inches off my body measurements. Still a long way to go though. I did a Dexa scan in HK last week and confirmed what the mirror still shows, improvement but still chubby. 29.6% body fat. I’m guessing I was about 38% body fat right before I started. Damn Gina!
On a more positive note, the physiologist who did the scan told me I have strong bones. haha. Very likely due to the powerlifting I have been doing.
I wasn’t 100% strict with vdiet with all the travel and stuff but I did learn that a slip in the diet didn’t have to become a full blown tumble and avalanche of eating. However, I will also say that I did it before so I knew what was ok and what wasn’t. I also think that if a person really want to lose body fat fast they should take a look at Lyle McDonald’s books, specifically Rapid Fat Loss. I would probably follow that next time in liue of the vdiet. I just picked the velocity diet because I’m familiar with it.
