Lots of kettlebells walking and intermittent fasting. I feel fantastic and can't wait to see where I end up by the end of the year. Update 8/19/2...

Back in March 2009 I was surfing the Internet looking for new ideas on how to loose weight and I stumbled upon Tim Ferris' blog. As they say the rest is history... Fall 2007 December 2008 at 348 Pounds December 2010 at 260 Pounds Here is a pic that I took last weekend Right now I am about 5 pounds or...

I arrived at day 30 today and I feel amazing. I have lost 8 lbs. 5 being the past week finally and 6.75 inches 1 off both thighs 1/4 off both arms 2.75 off waist and 1.5 off hips. I have adjusted the diet to fit me a little better over the past 30 days. I cut way back on the beans and I only eat them at one mea...

Looks like I've reached my weigh loss goal and some! My goal was to go from 125lbs at 22 to 105 and 18... I've fallen off track a few times jumped back on and 2 months later I'm at 103 lbs and I'm guessing I'm going to finish off this week and take an average of the body fat that I'm at 15 body fat now. I'll po...

Laura I think that it's great that you've seen some great results. It's also apparent that you're really into helping people get on the right path after stressing the importance of taking pictures along the way after the blip with the metadata on your "before" picture. However I'm a fan of full transparency and disclosure...

Water retention can be a major problem for some when on SCD. With our cheat days we can retain a LOT of water weight as our glycogen levels are replenished- each gram of carbohydrate holds onto 4 grams of water and each gram of salt can hold onto a pound of water. So it's no wonder that we end up looking and feeling bloat...

I did a post on my blog last week of my 100 days progress. I started with the slow carb diet but did a bunch of research did some experimentation and made modifications as I went. Getting close to my goal of 10BF.

so i've been on the scd for a couple months i've lost 10 pounds so far. besides looking forward to cheat day one of the things that helps me get through weeks where i have particularly strong cravings is writing about all the foods i wish i could have ... and then telling them off! the blog is called don't let me eat t...

So I ready to begin the SCD. 175 pounds seems overwhelming but I'm hopeful and excited and scared. Where do I start?

..cholesterol...???? What about all the eggs we eat on a daily basis???.. Any opinion on eggs and cholesterol is welcome..

I know that water burns fats faster because water conducts electricity but what about cold air? Can just colder air temperatures also help you lose weight even though your skin is not wet? You still shiver from cold air so it must do something but maybe not that much. I really hope so though as I was finally starting to s...

After I read the book I thought no on yogurt. But here on this forum it seems people are saying ok. I'd love to add it but am concerned its a not so good thing to add. Please help clarify this so far internal debate.

From this thread I have read some of the posts on Martin's site http//www.leangains.com/ and also Eat Stop Eat. Most of the things that I have found are explanations as to why IF works and the details of it. Does anyone know of a reliable source with more of a summary and a schedule that could be used to take advantage...

As I mentioned before the people living in my country tends to be damn negative when something great happens they tend to find some answer of why that great thing could not work with them or something to disprove it and when something bad happens then "that's reality" yeah it sucks it took me long time to get rid of tha...

how long should each meal last? is it true that it can only last one hour? does the four hour begin when I eat my first bite or finish the meal? can I have as much legumes protein and veggies at each meal

Update 2/3/12 - replaced pictures. Not sure how long it's been off hand but added the most recent picture. UPDATE! It's almost 6 months for me now I just turned 26 and I was actually a bit surprised to realize I've been at it this long. I really am getting comfortable with eating like this and I don't see myself endin...

In the book Tim talks about meals withing 30 minutes of a workout. Who here takes advantage of this? What do you usually eat? Are there any restrictions other than the 30 minutes and it having to be 20 minutes of resistance training? I know he has a pizza on his website with cheese and other goodies on it as his examp...

Hello all! I just wanted to write up a quick blog post on my idle thoughts as I travel through my journey. Living in Chicagoland and losing upwards of 80 lbs I did not notice how much of a significant physical change I've went through UNTIL NOW! It's getting COLD! And you know what I find myself shivering/cold/toes s...

So after reading TF's blog and 4HB it is not yet entirely clear to me how to best nurse an injury such as a sprained ankle or swelling from an impact such as hitting your knee off the ground in a tackle. Any comments on this subject with regards to diet icing medication?
