Its 100% completely healthy
You get all essential nutrients, and fats that you need
you need to buy metabolic drive protein powder, it has all the carbs protein and fat already in it...
the article covers everything
100% healthy
Unanimous 04-24-2008, 12:36 PM Maybe 100% healthy but it sounds 10,000% difficult!!!
Good luck reedickyaluss!

MORE for the appetite suppressant... it really kills your appetite... its one of the things that makes it possible...
-GBGQ- 04-24-2008, 01:00 PM From the pic, all your doing is starving yourself.
When a the 2nd of my best friends died I didn't eat for like 2 weeks. Had no appetite and was still working out. Of course your muscle stays on you but everything else (water weight, fat) all comes off.
I've never been over 6% body fat but my mid-section and abs slimmed to the point of like Brad Pitt fight club abs. My abs tend to pop off my stomach a little but it was completely flat and still ripped.
After I ate a few full meals the next day it came back on.
DA1CATAS 04-24-2008, 01:07 PM Wow.... Sounds good.
But you have to order that stuff... I'm gonna add walking to my night though..

Protein powders are called supplements for a reason, you take them with a good balanced diet.
No way you can convince me that eating one real food a week is healthy.
And yes they are triyng to make money cause they say the only way this diet can work is when you use their special magical protein powder.

thats because the metabolic protein has the necessary CARBS, PROTEINS, and FATS all in it... thats WHY you need to get theirs and not buy the 50 tub at GNC
if you actually read the article then you would understand everything this diet includes is completely healthy and gives you everything your body needs...
but you didnt read it.. so theres no point in arguing with someone who is ill-informed
i did the diet for 10 days... i felt great... i was full the whole time, i leaned out majorly, so it doesnt really matter what your "opinion" is.. ive already done it

well the whole reason im GOING on the diet is because i dont look how i want to look? and that doesnt prove anything... AT ALL... you can be born with great genetics.. i know guys who are ripped beyond belief who havent done a pushup a day in their life...
point is... you didnt read the article... you dont know everything included in the diet... so you ARE ill-informed

I didn't read the article cause you have to be stupid to think eating 1 solid meal a week is healthy, it is very bad for your digestive system. And there are 20 different amino accids and you have to take them all if you want to gain our maintain your muscle. even if that protein powder contains all 20 of them , your body will reject it and you will just piss it away. You have to take the different amino accids on different days thats why a you need to eat different sources of protein and not 5 times a day the same protein powder. But if you believe that diet is good , it's your choice like i said im just giving another point of view.

if you read the article.. you most likely wouldnt be saying what your saying
i would take your point of view honestly, if you actually read it
thats like someone giving a point of view on a fight they didnt watch
look at the results in the first post of that guy... i dont care, if i can go from that to that in 28 days... then so be it

its mostly a muscle training diet... you lift weight to maintain your LBM
this is also why its only a 28 day diet.. its not something you stay on
the plan is to rip the fat off in one month... get major results FAST... and from their go back to your regular diet and exercise... only a lot leaner
Tenacious 04-24-2008, 05:53 PM It says you need 11 bottles of low-carb Metabolic Drive at 32 dollars a bottle that is quite expensive. Looks like this diet cost alot . If i had the money i might try it, im trying to drop 10 pounds maybe i could do it for a few days only.

it is.... but when you take into account thats your food for entire month... it isnt.
Fidayin 04-24-2008, 06:08 PM Oh yeah one more thing before i go to sleep. How do you know for sure that that guy followed this diet and actually lost all that weight in 28 day. You shouldn't believe everything you read especially when they try to sale you a product. Either you are dumb and very naive or you are getting paid to advertise for this product. Oh yeah and i don't actually believe you have followed this diet for 10 days or else you would have started a tread 10 days ago saying you where trying a new diet. I hate it when people try to make money of desperate overweight people. If anyone wants to lose weight just ask and i post a good healthy diet where you don't need to buy a magical expensive product.

dont worry about what the joker said above me
i have no affiliation with t-mag.com i had to fott the bill myself as well..
the diet DOES work... i made it 10 days....im doing it again may 1st...
i seriously slimmed down and tightened my entire core
if you follow the link on the first page...
you can literally see PROOF of this guys transformation from week to week... theres over 12 pages of back and forth between the guy doing the diet and the guy helping him with it
Tenacious 04-24-2008, 06:19 PM It sounds like a good diet but im a broke kid cant really shell out all that money. Let me know how this goes though.. Maybe i could get half the stuff since i only want to drop a little weight. Good luck keep us posted on how this goes.
THE REED™ 04-24-2008, 06:20 PM yeah it is expensive.. u have to keep in mind its your food for an entire month
Spirit 04-24-2008, 07:33 PM reedickyaluss, I usually agree with you and I admire your willingness to share this with other members and following it yourself, but I don't see this as a good diet for practicing boxers. First of all this Chris Shugart guy is full of it, this whole diet basically revolves around his definition of rationalization, a psychological term he doesn't even seem to be familiar with. I'm currently a psychology student and his defintion has been adjusted to manipulate someone into motivation. Rationalization was introduced by the controversial Freud and is not making excuses like he's saying, it's justifying mistakes or harmful behaviour by adjusting your mental schematics accordingly, it's actually what he's doing right now! The first thing you learn in psychology is that Freud's research is highly controversial, so if this guy had turned around his life over something Freud said (even though it assumingly helped him) I find that laughable.
I've checked the link and even though it's a 4 week program, his criticism about the yo yo effect is just stupid. Theoretically you will lose the weight and maintain the muscle, but most of the stuff you're taking is processed and stacked with stuff your body won't even be able to process. However, maintaining this diet for over four weeks or periodically will damage your body. You weren't planning on doing so, but the physicique you will have acquired will only last for a couple of weeks. You will eventually find yourself in a slow continuous process of gaining the weight back, damaging your metabolism anyway.
Spirit 04-24-2008, 07:40 PM Oh yeah don't get me wrong, I actually believe this guy lost the weight, you lost the weight and will lose the weight. Everybody can lose weight, that's actually the easy part, maintaining the weight is what it's all about. People have been trying to find an easy way to a "greek god" body for decades now, it's just funny to me how it comes down to hard work and proper dieting every time. There are no real shortcuts, I find it confusing how someone as dedicated as you are is even trying to look for them. I remember you giving a bag glove review saying you work the bag for 12 rounds and you seem to be active in almost every dieting discussion presented on this board so you must know a lot by now. The best toned bodies I can think of are those of Michael Jai White and the young Sylvester Stallone and they keep stressing the importance of hard work, dedication and eating none processed foods.
THE REED™ 04-24-2008, 07:43 PM well once you get off the diet... you have to maintain your diet.. obviously you cant go back to cheetohs and snickers
but it does rip actual fat off you... and as long as you maintain a reasonable diet.. theres no reason that fat wont stay off you
as far as his rationalization **** goes... i could careless what he said about that... i read about 5 sentences into it and said who cares lol

giantsbran1227 04-24-2008, 09:48 PM Yo man hit me up on AIM- giantsbran1227
I can help you out.
Spirit 04-24-2008, 10:01 PM What would you recommend is a good diet for boxers? Calorie intake? Protein Intake? Carb Intake? And just what foods should we eat. Lets see your knowledge.
Calorie and protein intake is based on your metabolism and effective body mass. Not one person can generalize about this subject, that's why actors and professional athletes hire nutricionists to figure it out for them. Calculating your calorie intake is very hard to do since I'm not a professional and I don't know how much you exercise, eat, weigh or how tall you are. Your protein intake is actually very easy to figure out, you should consume about as much proteins in grams as you weigh in lbs. So if you're 172 lbs, you should consume 172 grams of proteins daily.
A good diet for boxers? I'm not going to tell you anything new here: whole foods, green vegetables and broiled or baked fish and meat. This is easier said than done however. I personally never have trouble staying lean so I don't feel compelled to diet. I have tried it when I gained weight though, but hard work seems to compensate for me and all my friends who exercise at least 3 times a week. I don't work out very long (1-2 hours), but my workouts pack about alot of exercises with high reps. I'm 5'11", weigh about 152 with 6% body fat. Many people think I'm around 175 though, because I build muscle pretty fast. I only supplement with a daily protein shake, zinc and omega 3 and I drink plenty of water. I basically eat what I want that includes pizzas and fried foods and I drink alcohol at least 2 times a week. That being said I do gain weight when not exercising even though it's not a lot it is noticable to me so I definitely wouldn't recommend my eating and drinking habits to other people.
But don't trust my advise, go see for yourself I really don't care if you find me knowledgable or not, you're not the only one reading it are you?
sterling 04-24-2008, 10:59 PM This diet should not be used for boxing but to get some fat of for a while rofl its one of them things were you got to stick at it rearly because fat can always come back so dont be surprised doing this then start eating unhealthy then getting all the fat back on lol.
Only in my opinion i dont think it should be used by boxing because its very artificial and if your training alot then you wont have as much energy at all.
Clegg 04-24-2008, 11:51 PM He adds a bunch of other nutrients and things... the diet isnt easy at all... I made it 10 days before... i went from 188 to 174 in 10 days... now... a lot of it was water weight, but i looked considerably leaner and tighter after only 10 days....
How much of that weight came back in the 2 weeks or so after you went off the diet?
THE REED™ 04-25-2008, 12:04 AM How much of that weight came back in the 2 weeks or so after you went off the diet?
he fat stayed off... as soon as you start eating bad aagin..it will come back... after you get off the diet, you need to stick with a clean diet... but thats common sense...
guys this is not an ideal diet to be on while really training for boxing... actually lifting is the best during the 28 days, to keep your muscle and strip your fat... you will not have the energy to train cardiovascularlly on this diet
but like i said... this is a fast working diet... 28 days, and your done... this isnt a diet yuo stay on... ONE MONTH... thats it... then you slowly ween back off of it.. going from 2 - 3 shake a day, and a solid meal, then just solid foods...
this is basically GET IN SHAPE FOR SUMMER NOW kind of diet
follow the article that i linked to in the very first post
Landon S 04-25-2008, 01:07 AM Im going to be a saboteur
you said it yourself, get ripped (not necessarily in shape) for summer. I am trying to stay objective but it IS true that highly processed foods really **** **** up internally. And supplements ARE the most processed 'food' you can find. And it is obviously a way to make money because of the timing...everyone is trying to lose weight for summer also because you have to use a million and 1 supplements. You could do the same radical changes with the right information such as how much protein, carbs, fat, vitamins and calories you end up eating with this diet, of course youd have to know exactly all that stuff about the foods your eating to simulate it but itd be healthier.
BUT if you have the cash to throw around and really want to lose the weight then go for it I guess. But think of this, it this: it takes 1 month right? and your gonna live for probably 500 more months right? why not do it healthily and take 3 months to do it. Youll still look good for 497 months instead of 499.

Thats fine.. just please dont suggest that i somehow work for the company and am trying to promote it.. ive been on this forum over a year, and neevr once mentioned it... i pay full price for everything... ill be spending 350 tomorrow on all this crap....
in no way shape or form, do i get any kind of anything from telling you guys this... as a matter of fact t-mag.com does not even know me... ive simply come across this diet on their website... tried it for 10 days and holy **** did it work, so this time im going for 28 days....
you can say whatever you want... the diet works... it is healthy... if you read through the first link... theres a LOT MORE to it then what i have described, as i myself am not even an expert on this actual diet... just relaying information that i have read...
branagan 04-25-2008, 02:55 AM once you start eating properly again your sure to put weight on...

THE REED™ 04-30-2008, 11:57 AM once you start eating properly again your sure to put weight on...
Yes, although Weight, and Fat, are two different things... as long as your diet remains clean you will keep the fat off... but that is with any diet you go on.
Just curious what was the total cost of the supplements?
its around $350 - $400....
at first glance that seems WOW.... but remember, this is your food for the entire month... it really evens out...
I start mine tomorrow... May 1st... pretty excited.

By a young Sylvester Stallone I assume you mean after he made Rocky 1 because while he was training for Rocky 1 his diet was pretty messed up. He said (on his website) that while he was training for Rocky 1 he basically starved himself and drank Coffee to keep his metabolism going. He also took Amino Acids that, according to him, were as strong as steroids.
This is stuff you can see on his website. I'd link it but his entire website (at least the last time I went to it) is flash based so you can't link it.

Good stuff, man.
I am dieting right now myself(although not velocity, but I only have to drop like a pound or two anyway) and eating clean and properly is a helluva mess with a hectic schedule like mine.
Anyway, good luck, man.

Why do you have a gif of your sparing partner slipping and blocking all your punches?
Yes, although Weight, and Fat, are two different things... as long as your diet remains clean you will keep the fat off... but that is with any diet you go on.
its around $350 - $400....

If you eat "properly" Then no, it doesn't "pile" back on... if u start eating pizza subs and wings, then yes, obviously it will pile back on....
If you keep eating clean, the fat will stay off, which, obviously only makes sense.

i don't believe you man , post a pic so i can have a good laugh. you can't be ript and wel muscled if you don't follow some kind of diet. if you say you can eat what ever u want without gaining weight it means that u got an ectomorphic bodytype so that means that u probably don't got much muscle.

danny stash 05-21-2008, 09:53 AM From the pic, all your doing is starving yourself.
When a the 2nd of my best friends died I didn't eat for like 2 weeks. Had no appetite and was still working out. Of course your muscle stays on you but everything else (water weight, fat) all comes off.
I've never been over 6% body fat but my mid-section and abs slimmed to the point of like Brad Pitt fight club abs. My abs tend to pop off my stomach a little but it was completely flat and still ripped.
After I ate a few full meals the next day it came back on.
first of all this is total bull****. You need protein to sustain muscle. If you were working out without eating you were burning fat and muscle and you dont lose a brad pitt six pack after a couple of full meals. Its posts like this that make me ****ing laugh...
By the way the diet is totally ****ing unhealthy and anyone who does not think so is a total ****ing moron!
ATFsven 05-22-2008, 08:56 AM hmmmm i TRY and eat healthy.
6ft 1inch
210lbs
i have a bit of a gut! but i am trying to lose it by cranking out 4miles 6 times a week.
I also drink monster amounts of booze at the weekend and smoke big style!
the thing is before i started running i wasnt gaining weight doing all of the above. so now that i am running 24miles a week i must be losing weight.. but i am not!
Any one got any tips??? apart form reeds milkshake diet which sounds good but i wouldnt have the time to prepare that many shakes a day.

That's your problem right there. The booze my friend. Also, I can't understand how you're not losing weight after running 24 miles a week - you're putting in more miles than I do. Why don't you list your typical daily diet and then we can tell you what you shouldn't be eating and what you should be eating more of.
ATFsven 05-22-2008, 09:20 AM cool.
9am: 1 item of fruit for breakfast while i walk mile to work.
1pm: wholemeal bread sarny with turkey and salad
5.30pm: 4 mile run
7ish: dinner which for instance last night was beans on toast with 2 poached eggs and brown sauce!
i NEVER snack.. ever.
I also drink alot of water from 1pm until i finish work at 5
weekends tho i eat 2 meals a day usually nothing healthy and get pissed! i have cut this down to 2 nights a week tho. 1 week night and either a fri or sat night.
I know people who eat alot more than me and dont excersize and are thin.

I may have to agree with you there but it depends. I mean, how much do you drink in a weekend? Do you also have sneaky booze sessions when the football/boxing is on? The 2 meals at the weekend you mention - are they take-away by any chance?
Before you start blaming metabolism, why don't you have two weeks without the booze & fatty foods and why not try to cut your smoking back? I guarantee you that if you work out hard and are strict with your diet you will see results. BUT, you have to be able to discipline yourself.
Good luck! Oh, and remember to drink plenty of water.
ATFsven 05-23-2008, 05:32 AM Thanks for the advice! i give you some green k but i have no idea what it means or how it is done! haha.
Its bday this weekend so i HAVE to drink its the law! but i shall try 2 weeks cutting out all crap starting monday! i just didnt think that 2 days out of 7 eating shyte and drinking alot wouldnt make any diffrence with the amount of running i do! but its pretty obvious really that it is!
How did this work out for you bro?
Squirrel 02-12-2011, 07:02 AM I've never believed in such extreme measures for fat loss; use up more than you put in, it's that simple.
Crash diets like this are bad for your health, not ingesting solid foods and dropping so much weight so quickly just ain't good for you. It's not the worst thing in the world, granted, but there's far better ways to lose fat.
I'd rather be fit as hell and strong as an ox and look like Fedor Emelianenko, than have all kinds of intrinsic problems and look like a Greek statue.

You will only put fat back on if, when you shift back to eating, you eat pizza, burgers, friez etc... If you go back to healthyf oods,then no, you wont gain the fat back.

the best way to lose weight is over 6months, slowely and eating healthy with interval training, weight training and generally no stress in life with good sleep and water intake.

Actually metabolic rebound is the single most beautiful thing that could happen to anyone who bodybuilds. If reed really decides to go all junk food he will most likely then not lose his results. HOWEVER if he goes the healthy(meaning good food sources) high fat/high protein/moderate carbs way and also trains he will grow much much muscle without actually gaining any serious fat..
And even that, velocity diet actually provides body with all the nutrients it needs to keep the muscle and be very insulin sensitive due to smaller amount of carbs and the timing of the meals. He is not starving his body, just his mind.
So, your assumptions are wrong.
Take it from someone who tried almost every single diet from ketonic to caveman to velocity, they all work, its just that with velocity the whole plan is worked out for you.

It's not easy, you won't get instant results but the results will be permanent.
