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 26 - Can I break 16%?

Weight - 197.6lb BF - 16.2%
Mood - pretty good, little low energy today

BF went very low today which is cool and encouraging but weight increased 0.2lb. I had some edamame last night with soy sauce so it might be a salt thing. I also had a bit too much wine last night too and be ever warned about drinking lots while on the 4HB diet. It will mess you up, I'm telling you.

I've been thinking more about life after the 30 day experiment and I feel like with just a few minor tweaks I should be able to sustain the 4HB diet and close in on my goals without reversing progress. I'll be doing some research in the next few days to figure out what types of things I can add to make breakfast a little more interesting.I really don't mind lunch at this point and dinner has had good enough variety to keep me interested as well. Just breakfast needs a little work!

Meals

9am - bacon and eggs at the work cafe

12am - veggies from the salad bar and a couple of HB eggs

630pm - fried tofu with green beans and cashews with a glass of wine
