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 18 - Slog

Weight - 200.2lb BF - 17.1%

Coming up on 2 milestones that will be very exciting, the first will be breaking the 200lb barrier (which I thought would be today, maybe tomorrow!) and the second is breaking past 17% BF.

That said, today is feeling like a slog. Might be just tired from last nights jiu jitsu training but I'm pretty low energy today.

Good news though, my friend Mike who writes DeckonFood.com and is a P90X vet will be guest posting tomorrow talking about some of the differences in the 2 programs and offering some editorial as well. So in case you wanted to hear it from another point of view, you'll get it from him!

Meals went like this today:

730am - I had leftover chili today and some coffee for bfast

1130am - Had a salad today of spinach and mixed veggies. I had canola and vinegar on the side and thank god, that tastes terrible. That was all they had since they cafe was out of olive oil and balsalmic vinegar.

2pm - raw almonds and a diet coke snack

630pm - had a nice salad tonight for dinner with eggs, chopped nuts, kalamata olives, and artichoke hearts.

Good night all!
