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!

Day 2 Off to a Good Start!

7am weight 207lb BF 18.2%

This is an amazing diet! I dropped 4lbs in 1 day! At this pace I should be at my stretch goal of 185lb in about 5 days, BRILLIANT! Haha!

So my weight did exactly like I thought and came right back to 207lb. So no, not too amazing YET. Although at 20lbs in 30 days, I should expect a weight loss of about 0.67lb/day. For me, I'll call my baseline weight 208lb, so by the end of the week, if tracking correctly I would be at about
204lb.

For breakfast this morning I started 1st thing with 1/2L of cold water then 2 eggs with ham scrambled in with coffee and a bit of cinnamon. Nothing fancy but took all of about 10min to whip up.


Found another great 4HB blog from ANOTHER Nick, Nick Momrik, who is 7 weeks into the 4HB diet and is showing impressive results from the graph below I took from his blog. Great stuff!

12pm - For lunch I went to Qdoba and had a burrito bowl with shredded beef, black beans, guacamole and fajita veggies. Really tasty and something to get when the gang wants to go out for lunch.
5pm
A can of diet coke for the drive home, ahh... Small reward for making through the work day.

6pm
Tonight had a dinner of leftovers, had a nice steak salad with pinto beans and some red wine.
Also received the pAGG supplement in the mail and I'll start that tonight as well. I think it is early enough in the month that I can add it in and not worry about changing the results.


Good night everyone!
