Velocity Diet Diet Program 3.0
Let's Get Started!

The Velocity Diet 3.0 is a highly advanced personalized plan that's customized for each dieter. There's no calorie counting or label reading with the new Velocity system. All you need to do is plug your personal information into the interactive V-Diet program below and hit "calculate."

Once you hit "calculate," you'll automatically see a printable, tailor-made menu plan. You'll see what you need to consume and when you need to consume it.

You'll also see the specific supplements required for your personalized plan, and how much they cost.

Creating the menu plan and ordering the supplements is very simple, requiring very little time and very few mouse clicks to complete.

Try the program right now, even if you're not sure you're willing to commit to the diet just yet. (It's very cool!)

Additional Items

Now that you have your customized Velocity Diet 3.0 plan and supplement stack, there are a few additional items you'll need, all of which can be easily purchased at most grocery and vitamin stores. Here's the list:

Natural Nut Butter — One serving is added to the last protein shake of the day to balance out the types of dietary fats in the diet. It also makes for a very filling and satisfying shake. One serving of natural peanut butter blended into a chocolate protein shake tastes like peanut butter cup candy.

Any nut butter is fine — peanut, almond, walnut, macadamia, cashew, etc. — but it must be natural. Natural peanut butter, for example, must be stirred (as the oil separates). The ingredient list should include just two items: "peanuts, salt." Natural nut butters must also be kept in the fridge after opening.

Milled Flax Seeds — Flax seeds are a source of fiber, healthy fats, and lignans, which have antioxidant and cancer-fighting properties. Make sure they're milled (ground up), and always store them in the refrigerator after opening.

Fiber Choice® Tablets — This is optional, but if you think you're not getting enough fiber on the V-Diet, you can take a couple of tablets a day. Use only the sugar-free variety.


Quick Overview

Remember, you'll have five shakes each day, spread evenly throughout the day, for 28 days. Once a week you'll enjoy a healthy solid meal (HSM).

After 28 days, you'll smoothly transition into eating more and more HSMs. After the two-week Transition, you'll be leaner and more athletic, and you'll have kissed your bad dietary habits goodbye!

Now, let's take a closer look at the solid meal day and the Transition.


Guidelines for the Solid Meal Day

Once per week — four times during the 28-day diet — you're allowed an HSM.

This is not a "cheat" meal. It should consist of a lean protein source, vegetables, and a healthy carb. For the rest of the solid meal day, you'll consume your shakes and supplements as usual. The HSM will replace one of your shakes. In other words, on HSM day, you'll have four regular shakes and your healthy solid meal. 

Your healthy solid meal doesn't have to be complex. There's no need to count calories; just choose "clean" foods. Here's a simple guideline:


Don't sweat the amounts too much. You'll be surprised at how fast you fill up on these solid foods, so there's little chance you'll overeat. Just replace one shake with the HSM once per week.

The best way to time the HSM every week is like this:

Note: You may be tempted to skip this meal to "make the diet work faster." Don't. The solid meal is crucial to long-term success, especially when it comes to the taste and craving changes. Do not skip it.


Mindful Eating

To best experience the food-preference changes, practice what's called "mindful eating." In other words, don't gobble down your HSM, thinking only of the next bite as you're chewing the previous forkful.

Instead, eat mindfully. Put your utensil down between bites and savor the food. Smell it. Pay attention to the textures and subtle flavors. Spend some time eating this meal, at least 30 minutes from first bite to last. Relax and enjoy it.

All this will reinforce the food-preference changes, helping you kick negative eating habits and develop new, healthy food-related behaviors that last a lifetime.


The Transition: Coming Off the Velocity Diet   

If you've followed the 28-day plan correctly, the transition back to solid meals is going to be easy. Unlike many dieters, you won't be tempted to binge on unhealthy foods, since you've changed your habits and food preferences. You'll have a newfound love of healthier fare, along with a powerful sense of dietary control. You'll also notice that you'll get full very quickly after the V-Diet is complete.

The transition process is simple, and most V-Dieters with additional body fat to lose will continue to lose it during this stage.

Here's how it works:

WEEK 1: One HSM Per Day — Every day is now "healthy solid meal day," with one HSM per day. The timing of this meal is up to you, but I suggest your last meal of the day should be a Low-Carb Metabolic Drive shake. This will help prevent nighttime overeating.

WEEK 2: Two HSMs Per Day — Have two HSMs and two or three shakes each day. One way to do this is to have a shake to begin your day, a shake as a midday snack, and a shake to end your day. Again, this solves the nighttime overeating problem, while allowing you to have a fast and healthy breakfast, something many busy people skip.


Sample HSM Options

Breakfast

  • Old-fashioned oatmeal with blueberries, scrambled egg whites
  • Spinach omelet made with omega-3 enriched whole eggs

Lunch

  • Turkey burger on whole-grain bread, salad
  • Grilled chicken breasts, steamed vegetables

Dinner

  • Salmon with grilled zucchini and squash
  • Steak with plain sweet potato and salad
  • Grilled chicken breasts (2) over large spinach salad, olive oil-based dressing


Post-Transition: One Shake Per Day

The final step is to have one shake per day and eat healthy solid meals the rest of the time. This shake should be consumed:

  • Whenever you'd otherwise skip a meal because you're busy
  • At night, if you still have problems overeating at this time
  • At breakfast, if you'd normally skip this meal

Many people stay in the post-Transition phase permanently. Simply having one healthy shake per day ensures adequate protein intake and prevents any dietary lapses caused by missing meals.


A Call To Arms

You're now armed with all the weapons you need in this war on body fat, bad habits, and soft muscles. The plan of attack is in your hands — or will be, as soon as you print it out.

The rest is up to you. But you aren't alone. Your fellow V-Dieters are here to help you when you need advice, or to kick you in the butt if you slack off. Just visit the Velocity Diet Forum. 

Now, put your game face on, and prepare to transform your body!
