Diet and Exercise Week 3

Posted by Chris on October 14, 2009

I lost another lb down to 201 lbs.

The shippment of my supplements from bb.com arrived last week on Tuesday just as i expected

USPlabs Jack3d, 250 Grams, Lemon Lime

So i was a bit surprised by the size of jack3d it was smaller than i expected. But after trying it for a week i realized it doesn't matter at all. The scoop is proportionally smaller and the results are great.

Comparing jack3d to Sp250.

Jack3d has more of a clean feeling to it. Not as jittery and more focused. Sp250 has a bit more of a pump but jack3d is very comparable. Overall i like jack3d better now but SP250 is still a great supplement.

Dymatize Elite 12 Hour MRP, 20 Packets, Fudge Brownie

The Dymatize MRPs dont mix very well so i recommend a shaker or a blender. They taste ok, a bit like a blended up protein bar. It wasn't the best tasting experience but the price and nutrition is right.

CytoSport Muscle Milk, 2.47 Lbs, Cake Batter

And of course the muscle milk cake batter tastes great. A bit sweeter then i remember but still one of the best tasting protein powders around.

So with my new supplements i increased my workouts steadily over the week and I'm making good progress once again. The velocity diet at lunch helped a lot and i decided to keep it up for another 7 days. Its very convenient to just drink a shake instead of having to pack a lunch.

Since my workout schedule is stabilizing more i should be able to post a full example of it next week.

Diet and Exercise Week 2

Posted by Chris on October 6, 2009

I lost about 1 lb and my lifts and P90X cardio are improving. My diet is getting cleaner every day but I'm still to hungry around lunch time. So I decided to do a partial velocity diet.

The velocity diet is pretty simple. You drink a protein shake/mrp(meal replacement) for every meal and that's it. Its a way to loose some quick weight and shrink your stomach while still getting enough protein and other beneficial ingredients to maintain muscle.

Long term this diet is of course bad. But short term or even just replacing 1 meal its actually a good idea. So my plan for this week is to replace all my lunches with protein shakes/mrps. That should cut down on lunch hunger after that week is over and make it easier to eat smaller healthy portions.

My new supplements and protein should be arriving today.

I ordered:

CytoSport Muscle Milk, 2.47 Lbs, Cake Batter: Best tasting protein powder ever. I eat it with my oats in the morning or if I want to enjoy a shake and not chug it.

USPlabs Jack3d, 225 Grams, Lemon Lime: My Sp250 is running low so I ordered some of this to replace it. I haven't tested it yet but I have heard great things about it.

Dymatize Elite 12 Hour MRP, 20 Packets, Fudge Brownie These are great for days when I don't have time to make a certain meal. Provides all the nutrition I need without all the junk around it. Also needed for the velocity diet.
