4HB Summary Part 4 of 4: Next Steps and 4HB

4HB Summary Part 4 of 4: Next Steps and 4HB

*Note* today I was 195.8lb and 16% BF on the scale. I'm pretty stoked about that! My post below was written on the 30th day of the program so a bit of time has elapsed since then.

NEXT STEPS

From here, I have debated where to go next. I am very happy with my weight at 198.5lb and my BF at about 16.5%. My target is around 195lb and about 12% BF which will take some work no doubt. These goals are somewhat arbitrary with no real solid reason behind them. I am more scared of regression than I am excited about further progress.

One challenge I am facing is coming to a maintenance phase in the diet. I am really unsure about how to proceed with this step. I really didn’t have any trouble with weight maintenance before I started 4HB so I might move back toward my old eating habits a little but probably not much.

Whatever I change, I will be sure to updated in weekly posts and let you know what was changed and the impact of those changes. I plan on staying with the 4HB diet for at least 2 more weeks I might go so far as up to 90 days. It really depends on where I'm at with my goals and how I feel at the time.
To wrap up, I have experienced more weight loss and BF loss doing 4HB in one month than I have in years of trying different exercise and diet routines. The results I have experienced are definitely worth the 30 days of work I have put into the 4HB plan. I think the monetary cost and the time commitment are really so low if you are at all interested in it, I would buy the book, try it AND BLOG ABOUT IT!

Thanks so much! Stay tuned for results from week 5 and a *New Graph!* (I know, such a nerd..)
