I tried the Surge trick. It definitely helped mellow the taste down a bit.
Today is Day 5 and was the hardest by far. It was so hard to keep with the shakes, I wanted to eat a double double animal style so freakin bad. I’m goin to sleep for awhile to try to keep myself from thinking about eating.
I’m assuming now will be the time that I start losing the weight. I have been working out 3 days a week really hard. Haven’t felt much of a difference yet. I hope its working. I’m wondering if I should do the walking before the first shake of the day. Any thoughts?
Honestly, I think it’s unlikely that walking before or after food will make much difference. Theres a Q&A with Alwyn Cosgrove detailing his thoughts on ‘fasted’ cardio - quite logical I suppose.
Good luck with it mate.

I don’t think it would be a bad idea. But as long as you do it sometimes, it’s ok. Chris Shugart said he took his walks late at night, 2-4 miles, but wherever you can fit it into your schedule is better than not doing it at all.
I am on day 4, started on tuesday. i lost 8 lbs so far, 5-6 lbs water weight. i am hungry all the damn time, except for 10-30 mins after shakes. more ice in shakes helps satiate. i look damn good though. i am doing my walks in the am before 1st shake… i am trying to follow the article 100%. it’s a pita, those morning walks, but not the worst thing.
Good stuff so far. Looking forward to following this thread. I was about to start the V-Diet myself but have some training that will be rather physically demanding less than two weeks from now. So its now something on the back burner.
