Welcome! What's this 4HB all about?

Hi All!

So I'm going to try Tim Ferriss' 'The 4-hour Body' diet. I'm an optimistic skeptic and for 30 days, starting on Monday, September 26th, I'll embark on this little adventure.

I'm and engineer and an MBA by trade and Tim has me very curious. I have been working hard at my weight and seem to have plateaued at about 208lb and about 18% body fat so its time to shake things up a bit.

I'm also a father of 2 year old twin girls, my wife Jess is coming along with me on this adventure and I'll update you on her progress as well. Tim is a swingin' bachelor from the sounds of it so consider me a real-life acid test on whether or not the more average folk can realistically fit this into their lives.

My goal is 195lb and about 12%BF which is well within the expectations set by Tim's program at 20lbs in 30 days.

I'll be talking about how I feel on the diet, how much it costs and what the results are, of course. I'll try to be as specific as possible and time/date all the things I do.

I'll put links and photos of everything I do and hopefully it will be as big a success as Tim advertises it to be!

Vote on what you think my end weight will be!

2 days before liftoff

Hey All!

745am Weight 207.4 BF 18.1%

Short post today, giving up diet coke will be a bitch, per 4BH you can do about 16oz per day, I think I'll limit that to about 1 can (12oz) to be on the safe side.

I might take this up as a hobby full time, analyzing the real work practicality of some of these diets that come along, things on the covers of magazines that just don't seem to be real life. I think 4HB is pretty solid fundamentally but really, if you look around at some of the claims health magazines print these days, it really is tough to get a read on what will work and what won't. No wonder people get confused a little when trying to figure out what will work for them...

Got my Orbitape today, seems to work just right. I'll also post before shots and measurements to further embrace public scrutiny and pressure to stick to this program.
