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 23 - Under 2 Bills Again

Weight - 199.8lb (feels good to type that!) BF - 17.1%
Mood - better this morning but still feeling slow

My brain feels like its not working correctly, not that it does really well anyway...

I'm happy to see a 1 as the 1st digit in my weight again, definitely makes the work worth it. Today is going well, even with a bit of slow brain this morning. I wonder if this is because I am drinking less coffee or a result of 4HB, I think its because of less coffee at the end of the day.

Things did pick up this afternoon but I would be ready for a tough go your last 10 days of this program. It has definitely seemed to turn into more of a slog. I think the one thing I need to do is research some more breakfast options. I'm not being too creative and it seems that eggs in one way shape or form are the easiest option for this diet. I need to add something else in, leftovers can be good as well for breakfast. I'd love to be able to make a protein shake or smoothie once in a while to mix it up. But again, for 30 days, you can handle anything.

Meals:

Breakfast - 2 HB eggs and refried beans

Lunch - Qdoba burrito bowl with black beans, extra chicken, salsa and guacamole. I love these things, total lifesaver.

Dinner - grilled sirloin steak with steamed broccoli and grilled tomatoes.
