I lost all desires for fried foods, fast foods, and most sweets. Before the V-Diet I’d avoided these things (most of the time). Afterward, they disgusted me.
It started with the single solid meal per week, which for me was usually a steak, a sweet potato and a salad. I was shocked that I was wanting the salad more than anything. After 28 days, a plate of steamed veggies or a big green salad looked like cake to me. And watching someone eat something fried was like watching them eat a turd.
But wait… it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. My love of pizza remains. And it’s funny, but hundreds for former fatties have told me the same after they got off the V-Diet. They developed a taste for veggies and lost their desires for overly sweet foods or fried food, but pizza? Nope.
Behold the power of the pie!
So, with my newest diet article, The Quality Mass Diet, I had my pizza about once a every week or two and kept it “big 'n clean” at all other times. Worked great.
Maybe a second round of V-Dieting would knock the pizza lust, but since I’m still lean I just don’t need a round two. Maybe someone else can report on this if they need a second go-around on the Velocity Diet.

I don’t think I could ever lose my lust for pizza. But more importantly, I don’t think I want to. Pizza is the ultimate food. I seriously, could eat it every freakin’ day. I have an uncanny ability to be able to name what kind’ve pizza my co-workers have for lunch just by looking at it! Yeah, that’s probably not a good thing. And that’s probably why I need to lose about 20 or so pounds. But damn, pizza is good.
So, far so good on the diet. I haven’t had any cravings yet. But last night I found myself almost falling into an old habit. My wife works afternoon-evening hours and we use to go out to dinner acouple of times a week when she would get done. Well, after returning home from my workout last night I was asking myself where I wanted to go to dinner when she got off of work! I quickly slapped myself in the head and realized that I couldn’t because i’m using my solid meal on saturday morning. Old habits die hard.
Question. I am playing in a volleyball tournament all day on Saturday. I was going to have a nice bowl of oatmeal in the morning, a couple of HOT-ROX and shakes for the remainder of the day. That should be adequate to get me through the tournament right?
