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 16 - Getting Closer

Weight - 202.2lb BF - 17.3%

Good news today, lowest BF to date and rolling 5 day averages are both down. My rolling 5 day weight ave is below 203lb which is very encouraging and BF is slower to move but is still trending downward.

A couple of nice things I've noted, I have not had a blood sugar crash since starting the 4HB diet which is very nice, I am quite prone to these. Also, while my energy has been a bit low, I had plenty of energy for jiu jitsu last night. Many thanks to my BJJ partners for taking it easy on me my 1st night yesterday.

730am - had fried eggs with tomatoes and coffee for breakfast this morning, very fast and easy!
1230pm - went to lunch with some co-workers today and had Mexican for lunch which was great, I had a carne asada steak, with black beans and string beans cooked in soy and garlic I think. Very tasty.

7pm - Nice dinner of chili and a glass of vino tonight. Leftovers are so nice because I don't have to prepare anything for breakfast the next day!

Have a good night!
