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!

Week 5 Results!

Hi All!

So I have implemented some minor changes to my diet and I don't think I have impeded progress so far. I've included a bit of stevia and some more cream to my coffee in the morning, I'm eating a bit later in the morning, usually withing an hour and a half of waking now. I'm also drinking a bit more diet coke too, haha!

Exercise this week was right back on track with what I had been doing, two 1hr jiu jitsu sessions this week with two 30min gym sessions using Tim's maximal weight program (lots of deadlifts and bench with plyometrics).

My rolling 5DRA, BF% and total inches are all down so the adjustments I have made do not seem to have had a huge impact on progress it may have slowed progress down a bit. Also touched 195.8lb on scale on Saturday which is my goal weight, very exciting!

I've added a few things below to the blog. 1st you'll find my day to day results for last week. second, you'll see week to week graphs since day one of 5DRA, BF% and Total Inches showing progress since the start of the 4HB program.
