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 21 - Parents

Weight - 201.2lb BF - 16.7%
Mood - pretty down in the AM got better throughout the day

My folks were in town for one last day this weekend and we had lots planned including a little birthday party for my girls and cooking a home cooked meal for dinner. Today was another rough day mood wise, it's very high energy and fun having my folks in town but with the twins too, it's a lot to handle for my wife and I.

We took the girls to the zoo and I tried to hold as well as I could to the 4HB diet during the day and did a good job. This was definitely the most challenging week so far of 4HB. But that is part of the overall experiment, to see how real life can get in the way of some of your plans.

730am - fried eggs and refried beans

130pm - Chinese BBQ pork and Caesar salad

7pm - traditional S African sausage called Boordevoorst (sp?) with salad and wine.

9pm - tea and 1/2 of a cupcake (sorry, a fail I know)
