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 10 - Dallas

Weight 204lb BF 18.1%

So I'm 10 days in and about 1/3 done with the 30 day run of 4HB, been a fun ride so far!

Today I'm on my way to Dallas for work until the end of the week so I won't be able to weigh in of check BF while I'm traveling. Flying blind!

Also it presents a bigger challenge with regards to what and where to eat.

7am - I made sure to eat some leftover chili for breakfast at about 7am so I didn't leave the house empty.

So we'll see how 'durable' 4HB is on the road for you road warrior business travelers!

10am - plane isn't selling anything that would really qualify for 4HB, I bought a 3.5oz bag of almonds as a snack.

1pm - short layover an no time for lunch, had low sugar jerky as a snack. It's a must to try to get a big breakfast in on travel day.

2pm - fucking blog, I had to turn down a warm cookie for fear it would mess up the results. I had a handful of lightly salted mixed nuts instead. Haha!

5pm - finally a decent dinner, went to a mexican restaurant and had flank steak with guacamole and retried beans with a glass of wine, very nice.


745pm - going to go have a glass of vino then hit the hay for tomorrow's big day.

Cheers!
