The Velocity Diet madness consists of protein shakes, vitamins, fiber capsules and a variety of other useless fat burning supplements.  No whole food for 28 days!!!  The diet itself may result in fat loss but there are no health benefits at all from surviving on a liquid diet.

This diet was concocted online by a bodybuilding website without any double-blind scientific testing performed by any valid university or institution.  The velocity diet has gone through a few different versions but remains basically a liquid diet, avoiding whole foods.

Your body needs whole food to survive.  Your digestive system needs food and, more importantly, fiber to function properly.  Without fiber you will develop a high risk of developing bowel cancer. Science showsthat without whole foods your digestive system stops working properly. 

Fad diets can also play havoc with your metabolism, causing highs and lows in your metabolic rate.  In the short term this can result in a visible loss of bodyfat, but in the long term you can suffer health consequences.  Anyone with heart problems should stay well away from fad diets like the velocity diet.

There are still many enzymes in whole food that we have not yet discovered and there are enzymes that we know are there but don’t understand what they do.  You must eat whole food to maintain your health.  Fruits and vegetables also contain all the vitamins and minerals that our bodies need to function.

If you are desperate to change your body composition don’t fall for the fad diets.  A simple low carb, high protein diet with plenty of fiber will get you your goals.  It will take longer than 28 days, but it will happen.
