If you want take starter pics then update when you get to our halfway point. Or better yet, challenge someone one on one Good luck to you!Think one solid meal a week with the rest being protein shakes and you have the gist of the Velocity diet. I thought about it, but its a bit too extreme for my tastes.
Phate, I don't think it's so much that I'm carb sensitive. I'm more, uhm,....beer sensitive. Before I lost my job, I drank way, way, way too much beer (high stress sales not for me). When i drink, I eat (munchies). On top of that, the alcohol took all desire out of me to do anything except sit on my butt.
Since I'm not working now, money is fairly tight and I doubt I'll be able to pull off the v-diet right now. Unless we (collectively, all of us) could find a supplement company to sponsor me, now, theres an idea!!! So, for now it is clean eating with a lot of bike riding and soon some weights.
Thanks for all the input and encouragement. I'm off to ride my bike here in a couple of hours. The goal for the day is 15 miles.

Well come on man. If you want to reach your goal you have to limit your alcohol intake.
Yeah, the V diet is very extreme... if you did that it would basically completely consume your life...
But with all of the real world issues that go on, the V diet is very unpractical.

Hey... I wanna challenge someone to a cutting contest! Don't worry, I won't use keto.. Haha. That would be fun and extra motivation... who wants to go against me? I will get some pics up later.
I am prolly 15-20% bodyfat 183 pounds or so? Someone with a build similar to that wanna battle? heh.

JDie from above, there's an opportunity!
Its the end of week one! I'm doing great, went to the gym everyday, sticking to cardio 6 days of the week and weights. Been eating clean, I definitely feel different! I can't imagine how the ending of this contest will make me feel. I am definitely looking forward to posting my midway progress pics! GT, how are you doing man?
Heck Yeah 3 Weeks! Haha, let the new week begin.
Don't want this thread to go stale Just want to update, I'm doing great, still goin' strong About 2 weeks until midway pics, can't wait! I seem to be lifting a lot of weights lately which is probably why my weight hasn't really changed. I will start focusing more on cardio (even though I already do 4-5 days a week, I will aim for 6 days a week.) The diet's been mostly clean (I still have that cheat every here and there). Anyway, I hope to get a lot achieved during the rest of this challenge. GT, feel free to update on your progress.

Good to hear you are still doing well. Just an observation, you say youve been lifting a lot of weights lately which is why your weight hasn't changed. I'd be a little skeptical to believe that. I lifted weights like a mofo and lost weight on the regular. Make sure you are hitting a nice, but healthy deficit every day, and you should be able to lift like crazy and still lose. In fact, I found that I would shed weight at incredible amounts.
Weight training should be the main tool for weight loss, that is your goal correct? Weight training trumps cardio for fatloss any day of the week, it is follow by HIIT training, not "cardio".
If you are trying to lose fat, and you are lifting weights but maintaining the same weight, then something is wrong with your diet.

Hmm, well, I haven't weighed myself in about a week, so I will see whats up later today. I am definitely in a deficit so it can't be my diet. I say my weight hasn't changed because last week (just 1 week after I started) my weight was nearly the same. I will weigh myself tonite and see where I am at. Yes, Weight lifting is awesome for fat loss, which is right up top with my diet. Actually, my weight probably went down I just don't know it. I will update later today and see where it's at. Thanx for the replies

I assume you have your food logged, because it's easy to underestimate intake by up to 400 cals...
good luck
Haha, just figured out you changed from AZN to Danger...Anyway, yea I log my food rarely, but this recent log is what I've been eating (Yes, its only 1453 calories, but I did not include some little things I snack on or drink, for example V8 Splash-not the healthiest...- or More chicken, I usually eat more chicken than I have posted.) So I estimate I eat+drink around 1600-1700 calories a day, which is 400-500 cals under my MT line(MT line=2160).
^My Fitday Account^-I rarely update, but my most recent is what I eat now.
I think your MT line is inaccurate, someone your size should not be dipping into such low cals a day... I mean I'm guessing your BMR is close to 2000 alone from the data you gave me earlier.
what calculator did you use to find your MT line?

I gave you my BMR...You were right. MT line would be the one that takes your activity level into consideration, so that would mean 3300 cals?! If I would have to eat anything over 2200 cals, I would have to eat junk food to meet those needs...Honestly, I'm functioning very well on under 2000 cals. I think I'll stick with what I'm eating now. If I was starving, my body would tell me, but I'm simply not having any hunger problems. Either I'm doing something wrong or I'm just strange...
