Thanks Hooner!
V-Diet 2: Day 9
Weigh In: 213!
loss of 6 since start of v-diet 2, but only a loss of 1 lb from the lowest ive been recently. i think that 214 i had a few weeks ago was one of those times when everything was perfect for a really low weigh in. so i think this time around its an actual fat loss and not just water/glycogen depletion.

Thanks 100ton
V-Diet 2: Day 11
weighed in for shitz'n'giggles: 210 lbs
2 lb drop since yesterday. wow.
NEPA: the usual
HSM:
12 oz steak
spahghetti squash with alfredo, chicken, bacon and some parm
BIG HSM, but not many carbs. doubt ill be 210 tomorrow lol, probably 212 again or maybe even 214. I needed it though. lots of pulse fasts plus V-diet and i think my metabolism might have taken a hit these past weeks, that would explain the low energy. this should get it back up and the next few days should have good fat loss. looking foward to the transition. starting monday its gonna be 1 HSM per day and shakes plus 2 pulse fasts per week for a couple weeks...probably until i run out of Metabolic Drive.
so far, with this "V-Diet express" ive had massive weight loss while retaining strength and therefore most of the weight loss is fat. i did measure my waist today, 38 inches at the largest which is a 1 inch drop from the start! doesnt sound like much, but i cant expect another 6 inch drop like the first time, its not there!
