Healthy Living For Smart People
I’m writing this on a Saturday afternoon. I went hiking this morning and I’m about to head out later this afternoon for some outdoor fun at the park. I weighed myself on Friday and the scale showed 230lbs. Goal Achieved! However, what about all my other goals? [Read more...]
I had the good fortune of spending the last few days in Singapore. It’s a beautiful place and one which offers inspiration to a host of good ideas. However, for me, the thing I noticed most was how few overweight people I saw. In fact, the whole time I was there, I spotted maybe 1 or 2 overweight people who were not obvious tourists. The fitness expert in me kept wondering; what’s their secret? What are they doing to stay this skinny? We’ve all heard about the French diet or the Med diet, but what about the Singaporean diet? So I paid a bit of attention and this is what I found: [Read more...]
I’ve been comparing the 4 hour body diet to eating healthy for several weeks now and I’ve come to the end of my experiment. The end result was 6lbs lost, about a lb a week, but the lessons learned were far more important. [Read more...]
In 2004, Morgan Spurlock came out with Supersize Me, a documentary in which he ate nothing but McDonald’s for 30 days.

I mentioned last week that I was going to experiment with healthy eating versus the Tim Ferriss diet but I think I forgot to clarify what exactly that meant. Sooo….
Is The 4 Hour Body Healthy
First things first, I don’t believe the 4 hour body eating plan is unhealthy. I think it’s very restrictive but not unhealthy. It basically eliminates all junk from your diet for most of the week and that’s a great thing right there. It will end up with a very high percentage of calories from protein and fat but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, with the exception of the junk you eat on your cheat day, I think the 4 hour body diet is quite healthy. [Read more...]
It’s now week five of my Tim Ferriss diet and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I’m losing weight but doing so with a method that seems sustainable and not heavy on the self deprivation side of diets. In other words, I think this is a way of eating I can keep up for the rest of my life without feeling like I’m losing out on the good parts of food.
