Have any of you heard of, or had experience with the "Velocity" or V-Diet 3.0"?
Here is a link:

This is a QUICK explanation from the site of what it is:
Quick Overview
Remember, you'll have five shakes each day, spread evenly throughout the day, for 28 days. Once a week you'll enjoy a healthy solid meal (HSM).
After 28 days, you'll smoothly transition into eating more and more HSMs. After the two-week Transition, you'll be leaner and more athletic, and you'll have kissed your bad dietary habits goodbye!
Now, let's take a closer look at the solid meal day and the Transition.
Guidelines for the Solid Meal Day
Once per week — four times during the 28-day diet — you're allowed an HSM.
This is not a "cheat" meal. It should consist of a lean protein source, vegetables, and a healthy carb. For the rest of the solid meal day, you'll consume your shakes and supplements as usual. The HSM will replace one of your shakes. In other words, on HSM day, you'll have four regular shakes and your healthy solid meal.
Your healthy solid meal doesn't have to be complex. There's no need to count calories; just choose "clean" foods. Here's a simple guideline:
Protein: lean steak, a couple of grilled chicken breasts, turkey breast, baked or grilled fish, etc.
Veggies: large pile of mostly green veggies, steamed broccoli, spinach, zucchini, squash, etc.
Starch: small amount of dry sweet potato, whole-wheat pasta, or brown rice
Salad: large salad with olive oil and vinegar dressing — no cream dressings!
Dessert: small amount of fruit
Don't sweat the amounts too much. You'll be surprised at how fast you fill up on these solid foods, so there's little chance you'll overeat. Just replace one shake with the HSM once per week.
The best way to time the HSM every week is like this:
Meal 1: Shake and supplements
Meal 2: Shake and supplements
Meal 3: Shake and supplements
Meal 4: Healthy Solid Meal
Meal 5: Shake and supplements
Note: You may be tempted to skip this meal to "make the diet work faster." Don't. The solid meal is crucial to long-term success, especially when it comes to the taste and craving changes. Do not skip it.

I'm curious of your opinions.
Think this is just another fad thing or different way of just selling supplements?
