Two Very Important Lessons

Three years of in-the-field testing with thousands of people has taught us two very important lessons about the Velocity Diet.

Now, please pay close attention, because your success depends on you learning these lessons. Those who ignore them, or skip the section below, will very likely fail the diet and never achieve their body-transformation goals. 

Ready? Here are the two lessons learned:

V-Dieters who use the prescribed supplements, and document, rate, and discuss their progress — each and every week — have a success rate that's four times higher than those who don't.

It's true. We can predict who's going to have success on the V-Diet based solely on whether or not the person is using the supplements and logging his or her progress.


No "Gotcha" Moment:

We want to bring up the subject of supplements now because we don't want to play "gotcha." We want to be completely up-front about the fact there's a supplement-purchase component to the Velocity Diet, and that BIOTEST makes most of these supplements.

Your initial — and wholly logical — response is probably something like this: "I bet I can do this diet without using BIOTEST® supplements."

Maybe, but the end result wouldn't be a body transformation. Instead, you'd look pretty much like you do now, only smaller and, well, baggier. Unfortunately, when faced with a caloric deficit, the body likes to "eat up" its own muscle rather than surrender its stored fat.

Your body is actually programmed to save its fat for when things get really bad, calorically speaking. In short, unless you do something to spare or "save" protein — which is stored in your body as muscle mass — your body has your deltoids for breakfast and your biceps for lunch.

BIOTEST® supplements are designed for a very specific purpose: to help advanced athletes compete at their highest levels. To do this, each formula must be the best science has to offer. We don't mean that as hyperbole. We mean it literally. Otherwise, under extreme physical stress, bodies will break down.

We help athletes build bigger, stronger, and leaner bodies at the fastest rates possible, allowing them to strip off body fat while building awesome physiques. And, we've been doing this very successfully for a very long time.

Without using the supplements we recommend, pear-shaped bodies will end up looking like smaller pears; apple-shaped bodies will look like smaller apples; and guys with big guts will look like guys with slightly smaller guts with the added misfortune of an emaciated chest and spindly arms and legs — hardly the kind of look most of us are after.

However, if you use the specific BIOTEST® supplements included in the Velocity Diet Stack, you'll lose fat instead of muscle. In fact, when you've completed the Velocity Diet, your body will look like it was sculpted — as opposed to just looking like a slightly less fat version of your former self.

We also wanted to make this diet healthy. Who wants to lose weight if you have to sacrifice some aspect of your well-being in exchange? No one (we hope).

Therefore, in addition to supplying supplement components that ensure physique goals, we added supplement components for your health, as well.

That's right. We fully believe that using the specific BIOTEST® supplements we recommend will provide you with nutrients that you're likely missing in your regular, everyday diet. Doing this plan, as mapped, will not only make you leaner, but also healthier.

Please take a minute to read the following list of BIOTEST® supplements that are part of the Velocity Diet. We're sure you'll see that they're not only useful, but also essential to the success of the plan:

1) Metabolic Drive® Low-Carb Protein

Metabolic Drive® Low-Carb protein is a delicious milkshake-like protein drink that contains micellar casein and whey isolate. It even received Men's Health magazine's award for "Best Protein."

The casein component, because it's an extremely slow-digesting protein, will help you feel full and satisfied longer than you will with other forms of protein.

Casein causes a slow, sustained release of amino acids into the bloodstream that can last seven hours after ingestion, aiding in muscle growth and preventing muscle breakdown. Perhaps most importantly, nitrogen retention — the physiological condition that's essential for muscle growth — is amplified by micellar casein.

Lastly, Metabolic Drive® Low-Carb protein contains glucono-delta-lactone (GDL). GDL basically facilitates the body's ability to digest and utilize protein. This means that, unlike almost all other protein drinks, Metabolic Drive® Low-Carb protein won't cause stomach upset or embarrassing gas. Put all this together and it makes Metabolic Drive® Low-Carb protein the only protein supplement recommended for the V-Diet.

2) SURGE® Recovery

SURGE® Recovery is a powdered drink mix that you add to water immediately after a workout. It's designed to help you recover faster and build more muscle. (Remember, muscle is largely what determines your metabolic rate.) SURGE Recovery switches on muscle building and halts muscle breakdown when it's absolutely most important — immediately after your workout.

3) HOT-ROX® Extreme

HOT-ROX® Extreme is a capsule that accelerates the fat-loss process through various mechanisms, while also helping you retain lean muscle tissue. It targets fat burning in the stubborn areas found in the lower body, abdominal, and love-handle area, and it also increases thyroid-hormone levels (T3), the body's thermogenic backbone. HOT-ROX® Extreme provides a sweet energy boost too.

4) Flameout™ EPA/DHA

Flameout is a gelatin capsule containing the fatty acids DHA and EPA (the same ones found in wild salmon), in addition to a fat-burning fatty acid known as CLA.

Flameout contains the most potent and purest forms of DHA and EPA, purified by a process called molecular distillation.

In addition to helping you burn fat, the fatty acids found in Flameout make your body more sensitive to the effects of insulin, which will help your body deposit protein where it's supposed to be deposited (muscle), and shuttle fat to where it can be used as energy.

Incidentally, Flameout will improve your blood profiles, improve cardiovascular health, and reduce inflammation throughout your body.

5) BIOTEST® Superfood

Superfood is a wonder. We took 18 of the most potent, nutrient-packed fruits and vegetables on the planet and simply removed the water to create a powdery mix that smells like berries and tastes like a mild herbal tea.

Get this: One scoop of Superfood is the antioxidant equivalent to eating between 10 and 12 average servings of fruits and vegetables.

Superfood will fill in any nutritional gaps and provide a potent booster shot of healthy, life-extending nutrients.

6) BIOTEST® L-Leucine Anabolic Food Additive

L-Leucine is a branched-chain amino acid that's supplied in powder form. You simply add a small scoop to a meal or protein shake and it increases the amount of muscle protein synthesized by up to an astounding 70 percent.

Adding L-Leucine to a meal turns a normal meal into the most powerful muscle-building (and in dieters, muscle-sparing) meal imaginable. This ensures the only weight you'll lose on the V-Diet will be pure fat.

We'll discuss just how to obtain and use these powerful supplements in The Velocity Diet 3.0 section of this program.


The other lesson learned:

Periodically rating your progress, by using all four of the critically important tools below, will keep you accountable, motivated, and most importantly, on track to achieving a jaw-dropping, full-body makeover.  

In short, success leaves a trail. And successful V-Dieters evaluate and rate the trail they're on, so they can make the necessary adjustments to reach their ultimate goal.

Don't just think about it — do it!

Here are the four important tools:

1) Weigh

To get an accurate, consistent body-weight measurement, weigh yourself first thing in the morning. Do it before you eat or drink and after you go to the bathroom. Always weigh wearing the same thing (or nothing), using the same scale. Record your starting weight.

You'll be weighing in once per week on the V-Diet on the morning of your healthy solid meal (HSM) day. Don't weigh yourself more often than that; natural body-weight fluctuations will drive you nuts.

2) Measure

Since scale weight really doesn't tell us that much about actual body composition, you must take some measurements.

Using a fabric tape measure, record these sites:

Log these numbers, along with your weight. You may measure once per week when you weigh, or measure at the halfway point of the diet and again at the end.

3) Take Photos

Standing normally, take three photos of yourself: one from the side, one from the front, and one from the back. No flexing, no sucking in, and no lighting manipulations. After the diet is over, take another set of pictures, wearing the same clothing you did in your "befores."

4) Go Public

Log on to TMuscle.com and start a progress log in the Velocity Diet section.

This will keep you on track and compliant. After all, it's hard to fall off the diet when thousands of people are cheering you on... or providing you with a kick in the pants if needed.

This will also give you a place to ask questions and get help during your V-Diet journey.
