Shiiiiiiit. I did not realize how much I love food until I went to the mall today to get my iPhone (APPLE STORE WAS OUT, I HAVE TO GO BACK TOMORROW UGH). Cinnabons, Jamba Juice, Panda Express, Rollerz... I literally would have gotten something from each of those if it wasn't for this damn diet. It's torture, but retaining "what little mass I have" and getting my BW as close to my LBM as possible in just 4 weeks will make it all worth it.

And honestly how could the fucking Apple store have ran out of iPhones. My whole existence for the past week was based around finally getting one, and when I'm in the store, looking at all 8 (literally, I counted) Iphones/Touches available, a clerk had the nerve to tell me that they didn't have any in stock.

Oh and I was hungry most of the day, but I'm sure that will eventually go away. I'm about to have .5 gallons or so of green tea, and despite its lack of nutritional content, I have found that in bulk its at least a little filling. 2 more shakes today!

Oh and I did some accidental cardio today (basketball). Wasn't going 100% or anything, but I didn't really feel any different than I did when starting it.

I don't know how long you'll last on that diet if you are only on day 1 and are craving those things that bad. Good luck though, keep us informed.

If he's going keto or near-keto then the cravings is typical, similar to super low-carb or zero-carb diets. Once his body adjusts, he'll probably be fine--but that usually takes a couple weeks to up to a month.

Isn't the velocity diet only 28 days though? I read about it a while ago, so I definitely could be wrong.

Yeah, you're right. I think this is why other people tend to prefer the Anabolic Diet, the transition seems to be a bit smoother since you can be on it as long as necessary.

I've never heard of the anabolic diet, I'll look it up.

Oh, cravings for food for me are normal. I just usually give in... Like after filling up on something at a restaurant, I'll often look around and be like "Damn, I wish it was possible for me to eat more." I really might have a condition... Oh well makes it really convenient when bulking. I've seriously thought about entering eating competitions, and if I hear of any regionally or at the state fair, I'll most def. enter (srs).

Seriously though, I said before and I'll say it again, if I'm going to do something, I do it BIG. Meaning I didn't spend $300 bucks to quit on day 2, lol. And thinking about it, I'm fully capable of spending more than that on food in a month, and I don't even buy the food that's at my house. That's how bad it is.

Also, the cravings have subsided since I started drinking iced tea when I got home. I'll probably put a gallon or so away before the night ends. Should be pretty easy to keep this up if I can stay drinking no-carb stuff (might look into diet coke/etc). And once I get my car (1 week from today), I'll go buy a case or 2 of bottled water to stay thoroughly hydrated.

Alright, sounds good. I'll follow your progress, I heard the diet is great for dropping quick weight so I'm interested.

.... I can't get full on chicken. I usually give up after 1.5 lbs out of boredom, but I've done 2.5 lbs in a single sitting. Chicken just does not trigger your gag reflex like beef will.

I've won a lot of free food this way. Theres a local restaurant that serves 2 lb burritos. I like mine with chicken and rice so I'm okay stuffing myself on them. I eat one, and tell my buddies at the table with me that I'm still hungry and cold do another. They scoff and say "pfft, if you can eat another one we'll pay for it"

I do.

I pulled the same stunt with McChickens (6 of them), triple whoppers (2), and a bet if I could eat a 20" pizza in under an hour.

Also did a hotdog eating contest and won $30 to footlocker. Pwned the shit out of that (its in my log on like page 2)

Still.... the best is when you have a waitress say "I don't think I can fit all that on the table."

Anyways, with eating clean the cravings go away quickly. I use apples for filling up lately.

I just demolished 1.25 lbs of steak, and still more food to be eaten!

Its good to see someone logging about their diet. Its not a diet I'm interested in, but I think we could use more of it around here.

wait...ahab has a log?
