V-Diet Transition

I'm going to follow the transition just like Chris did in his Physique Clinic:

For some reason, as I write down these steps I'm thinking of the New Kids on the Block song "Step by Step.....Ooooo baby" Like...ohmygod...

Step One

3 - 5 days will be a solid meal day. I will have this meal most likely at lunch to avoid any nighttime binge eating.

Step Two

5 - 7 days of two to three solid meals a day. I will do the bookend option that Chris suggested where I start my days off with a shake and end them off with a shake. So it will look like this:

Meal 1 - Shake
Meal 2 - Lean turkey wrap
Meal 3 - Steamed veggies with Chicken breast
Meal 4 - Bak Choi with baked salmon
Meal 5 - Shake

Step Three

Only having one shake a day. I will have this shake at night to avoid any extra nighttime calories. It's also good to have this one at night due to the slow releasing protein that Metabolic drive has in its protein shakes.
