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 3, Interesting Results...

Day 3
Weight - 204.8lb BF 18.2%

Interesting results! Down again to 204.8lb but my BF has remained the same. So I believe the majority of my weight loss has been water weight but how can I not be happy with the results so far!
Really though, my weight swings like crazy. I'll start getting excited when we get closer to the big 200lb mark. I would like to believe that I'm one of these freaky people that responds very well to this eating habit but I REALLY don't think I'm that lucky!

Breakfast, quick and easy, 2 fried eggs, big bottle of water, some pAGG supplement and a couple of slices of ham I put in the pan and cooked up. Made breakfast for wife and I in about 10min. All within 1/2hr of waking up. Then the twins woke up!


1030am - I got hungry so I went down to our work cafe and got a snack. All they had left out from breakfast were some sausage patties and links so I ate a sausage link and patty and felt much better.

11AM - Went for a quick walk and I must say that I feel like I'm going to have a blood sugar crash but I don't think that is going to happen, just feels that way.

12pm - had a nice spinach salad for lunch with egg, ham, tomatoes, peas, onion, oil and vinegar and pepper on it. Took pAGG as well before eating, feeling pretty good although today has been a harder day as far as feelings of fatigue go.


7pm - Tonight I had a great dinner of a mole chili my wife made with beans, ground beef, tomatoes, spices including unsweetened cocoa. I have been quite low energy all day and this is really a pick me up at the end of the day! Also took AGG as well. I had a snack of pistachios before dinner as well to tie me over while the chili finished up!


Couple of glasses of red wine to wrap up the night and I'll see you tomorrow!
