Healthy Living For Smart People
As you can see from the other posts in this series, I’m basically changing my lifestyle to match that of the Tim Ferriss 4 hour body diet (reviewed here). I’ve made one minor modification to the diet, the addition of slightly more fruit than Tim recommends, but I’m sticking pretty close to it otherwise. I’m finding the diet to be difficult in some ways but easy in others and I thought I’d detail them here for those people who are thinking about this as a permanent life style. [Read more...]
We invited my fiance’s family over last week for a fun little dinner at home and I was amazed at just how easy it was to make a healthy dinner for 5, and for a very low budget too. [Read more...]
After my recent experiments with the 4 Hour Body Diet, I am revising my rules for eating healthy.
That’s it. 7 simple rules for eating healthy.
Last week I charted by weight by age and came up with some interesting thoughts on what really influences health. Based on that conversation, I thought I would add in additional information in the form of my workout results.
I am representing average workout performance in two ways. First by showing you how far I would run in an hour.

In fact, this is the reason I originally became a vegetarian, because I wanted to lessen my impact on the world around me. However, as the years went by, I found myself modifying my stance somewhat, which brings us to today’s story. [Read more...]
I was making dinner the other night when it finally hit me, I knew EXACTLY what the difference was between eating healthy and the Tim Ferriss 4 Hour Body diet. However, before I let you in on that little secret, I need to fill you in on a bit of background.
My amazingly super awesome fiancé and I moved in together in January, right around the time when I was finishing up my first experiment with the 4 hour body diet, and we’ve been making an effort to cook more meals at home, something we’ve found to be fun and healthy. Back then, one of my favorite meals to make was a a few shredded pieces of chicken breast, tossed in a pan with a few pieces of chicken sausage and then stir fried with cajun seasoning. I would then add a bit of fresh greens and maybe some sliced up tomatoes and serve it up hot from the pan! Yummy! [Read more...]
