T-Nation posted a new article Velocity Diet Lite: Two Shakes a Day to a Leaner, Harder Body by Chris Shugart. As I was reading, I almost snorted coffee out my nose.
What’s that? You’re just in a mass phase? Listen, buddy, if you haven’t been able to see your penis in three years because of your big gut, the “bulking stage” is over, okay?
I’ve been in a mass phase for mumble years! Thankfully, I was blessed at birth! Hah.
Chris is reiterating that the reason that roughly 66% of the American population is overweight or just flat out obese is because of their diet.
It’s your diet, stupid!
Chris also mentions two specific reasons.
- Late in the Day/Evening Binging
- Skipping Breakfast
Item 2 can cause item 1. You skip breakfast and then try to make up for it later in the day. Most often by binging.
Chris proposes that you drink a full nutrient shake with fiber in the morning and a low carb shake in the evening. I didn’t need to write PROTEIN in there did I?Oh and STOP Binging at night.
Of course, Metabolic Drive Complete is recommended for the morning shake since it has the full nutrient profile plus more fiber than in a bowl of oatmeal and Metabolic Drive Complete Low Carb for the evening.
I eat breakfast of some form every morning. Lately, I’ve been eating some combination of the below.
- 8oz of 2% cottage cheese for 22g of Protein
- fruit
- granola bar
- weight control oatmeal 7g protein, 6g fiber, and 29g carbohydrate
- regular 1 – minute oatmeal 5g protein, 4g fiber and 27g carbohydrate
Item 1 is my biggest problem. Since I stopped smoking, I eat often (see Surfeit). I eat a full meal and then start snacking and many times until I am overfull. I recognize the problem, I see myself doing it. I have 15 additional pounds to show for it. How do you stop it? Neural Linguistic Programming! That’s the ticket!!!
