Glad to hear I'm not crazy with the headaches!!
Giving up artificial sweeteners
I decided this week I would give up artificial sweeteners altogether and see if this increases my results. Since I started the diet, I've still been having Splenda in my coffee and Diet Coke. To...
Re: Why no exercise for the first 8-12 weeks?
I think another good reason for not exercising has to do with the mental aspect, as in making incremental changes instead of all at once which will set you up for failure. I've exercised consiste...
Re: Seasoning meat
I use salsa sometimes with chicken. Just have to check the label and make sure there is no added sugar.
Thanks Juan!
Keep going Richard! It will feel like second nature soon.
Thanks Brenda!
Thank you!!
Re: Going out to dinner for the first time on SCD tomorrow. Any help?
I find most restaurants provide oil/vinegar if you ask for it. I wouldn't worry a ton about if there are hidden sugars - if you're sticking to the plan and a few sugars creep up on you, it won't ...
Re: critique my meal plan?? :)
I'm not the best at critique-ing meal plans, I'm only in week 5 right now, but one thought I had while looking at this is that you are only eating 4 oz of chicken or salmon in the evenings. I wou...
Before and After: Week 4
Here I am in the middle of week 5. I had a unique opportunity to recreate a photo from before I started 4HB - from a work trip where they decorate the office pretty creatively... I notice little...
Re: 5' 7 167 pound woman
Hi Sierra. I'm 5'8" and currently 177 lbs (started at 181.5 lbs about 4 and a half weeks ago). I'm seeing differences - but it's not going as fast as I would like. That being said, I just ha...
Re: Sashimi. Why do we not hear much about this?
Shane, I'm traveling for work this week - and I've found it fairly easy to eat out. It's actually easier to eat at fancier restaurants (I have a decent per diem to use anyhow). Most places have ...
I know! Just hard hearing 8 pounds when I know I'm about 3 weeks away from that...
Re: Quick update and some thank you's !!!!
Congrats Shane! I've been doing this 4 full weeks and have only lost 4lbs. So you can see how much faster it goes for men!
Yes. Tried weighing daily one week and it was confusing and frustrating with all the fluctuations.
Re: Skipping the Scale Today. How often do you check your weight?
I weigh and measure myself every Saturday morning right when I get up. I look forward to it every week.
Re: Female Vegetarian?
Katie, Definitely stick with it for another few weeks. Most women do not see dramatic results until weeks 4-6. I just weighed myself in for week 4, and I've lost exactly 1 pound a week, but I'm ...
Thanks Tom! Good idea with the energy bars - I will need to try that when my runs get longer.
Eating white carbs before a run?
Here is something I've been experimenting with this week, and wanted to get some feedback / see if anyone has had any success with this... I know Tim said in the book that you could have white ca...
I agree with Juan - better to start NOW, then fret over having enough days before your cheat day.
I take Monday off.
Re: PAGG Stack
I started taking PAGG about 2 weeks ago. I can definitely sense it in my system once I've taken it - you can kind of feel it working a bit. I haven't seen dramatic results yet, however since I'm...
Re: Ladies: Can you give me an example of your cheat day?
Here was my cheat day from last Saturday, and I thought it was fairly epic. I've already lost the cheat day weight and another pound, and it's only Wednesday. Breakfast: 1) bacon, egg, and chees...
Re: 6'6 304lbs day 2 and I am already having cravings
Shane, The best thing I did for myself in the first few weeks (and I'm on week 4 now), was to let myself go to Chipotle for dinner anytime I was feeling like I wanted to cheat or that I couldn't k...
Re: How much wine do you guys drink?
Hey Josh - I find that if I wait to have red wine until literally after dinner (not as my drink during), then I usually only make it through 1 glass, so even if it was a big pour I know I'm still ...
Thanks everyone! I will not forget this forum - I've been reading it for a few weeks now for inspiration. I will be back for more!!
Cheat day also makes me feel physically lousy... I think that part alone makes me want to get back on it to feel healthy!
New to 4HB, wondering what keeps you going after initial period?
Hi everyone. I've been doing the 4HB / slow carb diet for 3 weeks now. So far I have lost 3.5 lbs and a few inches around both my waist and my hips, which is what I am most excited about. I wis...
Re: Sport and diet?
Do you think maybe you're fatigued from the exercise and NOT the diet? Gains are made during rest, not during your workouts. If I were you, I'd break up my routine to employ more rest days... Or...
Re: Worst taste in my mouth.
I had the exact same experience... Horrible metallic taste in my mouth that would not go away no matter what I ate or drank. It ruined my first cheat day! Everything I ate was "off" (but...
Re: Has anyone tried fried pork rinds?
In a moment of weakness at the store, I picked up a bag... It's true what they say, don't go grocery shopping hungry. The entire bag had about 850 calories--all of which I inhaled over the course...

I started Tim's diet after seeing him on Dr. Oz and realizing the things he said made since... in weird kind of way. Since starting 10 weeks ago I've lost 18 pounds and 23 inches. My goal is to re...
