I just finished a month of drinking a whey protein (16 oz) each morning for breakfast, a snack around 11am which usually was a piece of string cheese or 1/2 - 3/4 cup of fruit, lunch was grilled chicken breast (cooked on George Foreman) and a vegetable with chesse sprinkled on the chicken and a tbl of hot sauce for some extra flavor. Then a snack again around 4pm and dinner was usually close to the same thing as lunch. I coupled this with walking around 2-3 miles each day which may sound like a lot if you arent used to it but it really is easy to fit into your day. Also I had a lot of cheat days that included mexican, Mcdonalds, and a couple of other quick meals due to working on a project aroudn the house that didnt allow me to stop and cook to eat and I still lost 18lbs. I am far from well over weight also. I am 27 yrs old around 6 foot tall and weighed 201 when it started and lost down to 183 in exactly one month. Simply watching your carbs and keeping them below 45-60 carbs per meal does wonders. This is actually a bit dramatic and its entirely possible to lose this weight without being this strenuous.

For a female in fair shape, expect to lose 8-12lbs. Most of the loss will occur in the first week and will be water and glycogen, with fat loss going at a steady 1-2lbs per week. Some individuals are even able to gain muscle on this diet so the scale may not show a dramatic loss, but the bodyshape will change. It's important to tape measure yourself on the first and last days to record these changes. V-Diet is brutal, but it works better than anything else I have tried. 25lbs is a bit optimistic – perhaps possible for someone very overweight but the diet is really designed for fit people looking to shift stubborn fat.

It allows you to build your own custom protein powder blends at very low prices because they don't advertise or anything else. If anyone is ever interested, email me at mjb07e@fsu.edu and I'll get you the link and my 5% off discount code, which becomes 10% off if you order 16lbs of powder (which you will need for the v-diet) I found a much cheaper website to use for the v-diet.
