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 11 - Flying Blind!

No weight and BF today!

I really don't like not having my data points! Energy-wise I feel much better today than many days on 4HB, I really have a ton of energy today, nice!

7am - early start, had eggs and bacon and coffee this morning. Hotel morning buffets have good low carb options, may not have the veggies and beans for 4HB but still not a bad option for breakfast.

1130am - had a nice stir fry lunch of beef and broccoli, really tasty, the sauce may have had sugar in it though, I am uncertain.




8pm - dinner was a steak with grilled veggies and red sauce. I'm not sure if the red sauce had a lot of sugar in it or not but I didn't think so. Also, I had 2 glasses of vino and a beer with dinner. I held tight to the diet plan other than the beer today.

Energy all day has been very good which has been nice, I have felt lethargic at times over the course of the 4HB diet but on the whole, I have felt very steady as far as how my blood sugar feels. Not sure if that makes any sense but if any of you have blood sugar crashes, you get what I mean.

I'm headed home tomorrow and the airports and airplanes are the biggest challenge to the diet overall and the biggest challenge a business traveller will face while trying to stick to 4HB. Some snacks handy will stave off hunger if an appropriate meal is not available which is very likely on a long flight.

Nite!
