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 28 - 2 days to go!

Weight - 198.4lb BF - 16.4%
Mood - very tired

Had a great time at the party last night and had loads of tasty drinks courtesy of my friends Ben and Sarah! Halloween is a really fun time of the year and with the holidays coming, the cheat days come in handy for celebrating with friends in the full spirit of the event. That said, I'm pretty hung over today. I've been in recovery mode most of the day.

I was encouraged to see that my weight did not go up after cheat day but I think that is due to some pretty good dehydration going on but I'll take it! There are only a couple of more days on the 1st 30-days of 4HB. I'll do a summary of all of my thoughts about 4HB and then you can read and decide if it would be a good diet to try for yourself.

Meals
Breakfast - scrambled eggs
Lunch - chickpea patty with steamed broccoli
Dinner - cashew chicken with extra veggies instead of rice from local thai restaurant
