V-Diet Questions

Supplements and Nutrition
#1

Hey all, I have a few V-Diet questions as I am getting all my supplies together now for a planned diet in march or April (financial reasons, tax refund). I am wondering how ‘regular fish oil’ would work. Thats what I use now, from Vitamin world, it’s plian old affordable as compared to Flameout. I just grabbed my bottle to compare the facts and obviously they are not the same, I would have to take 8 of mine to equal 4 Flameout, and that also adds 38 more calories (4 Flameout = 52 cal; 8 vitamin world = 80 cal. So I guess, what are suggestions seeings as how i am most likely going to go with my less expensive brand? match calories? not worry about 38 calories?

Also, isn’t it true that the original V-Diet was pre Flameout, so ‘regular fish oil’ was used?

AS for the other supplements, I will be using Metabolic Drive (waiting for tax refund), HOT-ROX Extreme(already have), picked up some super food and TRIBEX too, already have plenty of creatine, Surge i have, I also picked up milled flax yesterday and am going to get fiber tablets in a few minutes when I go groceries shopping. and i MIGHT get some BCAA.

OK, thanks for the insight!

I would get Flameout. Now I am no Biotest WHORE but it just makes sense. Now the original diet did have salmon tabs at a higher rate like 20. Yes you can take reg fish oil but many more of them. I recommed Flameout because you only have to take 4 of them. This gives you less calories so you can have natty pb. The natty pb is a life saver for me.

Forgot to add. I use flax meal because it is finer. I find it mixes better.

OK, so hypothetically if i didn’t have natty PB i would up the dose of other fish oil? just make sure the calories and macros still tallied correctly? Thanks

You don’t have to take in natty pb but I look at it as a cheat and it’s cheap. It also has a fatty acid profile that keeps the sat mono and poly’s in cheak, but no you do not need to take it in. Just look at the original thread for the V-Diet and you will see it worked just fine with reg fish oil.

edit Yes just keep your macros in check and you’ll be good.
