28 Days Later....and counting

For those of you just tuning in, this is the continuing saga of the V-Diet.  You can read first entry here.

 

This will just server to really wrap things up for the first 28 days, and give you an idea of how the 2 others working with me directly did on the diet. 

Ken, as predicted did very well up into the last week. This was due to no fault of his own. Like a trooper he stayed on course, didn't miss a meal or a workout.

His V-Diet experience was cut short by some a-hole that cut him off while he was riding his bike.  His injuries were pretty bad but he is alive (and soon to be kicking) and convalescing at home.  FYI- he is currently taking applications for skin donors.

As of Monday of week 4, he had lost 13 pounds and more than 2 inches from his waist.  Ken said that the fear of the diet was far worse than the actual application. Get well soon Ken, we miss you.

Norm would eat sand if it was part of a fitness program.  Whenever he commits, he commits 100%.  So it was no surprise to see do so well on this program.  The details are far too boring to go into, but suffice it to say he did everything perfectly. At the end of week for he was down over 15 pounds.  Unfortunately he did not take and  waist measurements but his pants are all much looser.  Here is the real kicker- how many 61 year olds do you know who can see their abs?  I only know one.

Then there is me. Let me say this- there is no way in hell I was going to let any of my clients do better than me.  That's just how I roll.

The first week was the toughest, I was constantly hungry. Weeks 2-4 my hunger was crushed.  I kept forgetting to eat and that has never happened. Even watching my family eat was no big deal. There was only one minor bump that came on day 28.  Read the Fitness Business Summit post to find out what happened.

The only real negative is the blow to the ego from the strength loss.  But let's get real - no one will know how much my bench went down, but they will see the difference in my shape.  I'm still strong, just less strong than I was.  I will seek therapy and somehow make it through.

We are all doing the transition phase now, which is basically just adding one healthy solid meal per day every 3 or 4 days. This should last two weeks or so.

I highly recommend this diet, but it is not for the faint of heart.  It is a drastic reshaping of dietary habits but all for the better. I can't wait for the full V-Diet book.

And my numbers- 22lbs and 3" off my waist.
