It is three weeks now since I completed the diet! Here are my current composition stats:
Weight: 187
Waist: 34"
Neck: 15.50
Bicep: 14.25
Body fat: 15% (Navy Tables)
I am up two pounds (rounding up) from last week; my waist measurement is the same and my bicep is bigger. I feel good and happy to be adding ,what seems to be, lean mass.
I continue to use the thermogenics but I will quit when this last bottle is empty.
I am doing a fair job keeping Berardi's 7 habits although I seriously slipped up this past weekend. I blame great friends, excellent wine and good cheese. Not my fault!
My training for the upcoming TSC is going well and this post-diet goal seems an excellent compliment to the diet itself. I think that stepping up the training level encourages the body to put the extra calories to good use. Just speculating.

Good job on the V-Diet. I've enjoyed perusing your blog. I especially enjoyed getting the psychological observations you recorded. You have my respect as you have shown an amazing amount of discipline.
While not on the V-Diet itself, I have incorporated many of the concepts (3-mile walk in the morning in addition to normal Olympic weightlifting activity later in the day) and some of the supplements (HRX, Metabaolic Drive, Surge etc.) just to see how I fared on the whole thing.
Overall, since weight loss wasn't really my goal, I'm not really sure of the results. I do think I've lost weight. I didn't weigh myself before I started. But clothes fit a little looser and I always look at my jawline as an indicator of fat gain or loss. Looks like I have shed a pound or two. I haven't lost any energy, however, I have seen overall maximal strength dip a bit. Nothing horrible, but I just don't feel like I've got enough gas in the tank sometimes on an all-out day.
But, I digress. I didn't follow the diet to the letter (or really at all). Just folded in some of the concepts and did an experiment on myself. I think if weight loss was a goal, this a good way to go.
Great blog!
