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...

Here's my final results of my 4-week adventures in Geek to Freak-Land. It's been a crazy month of pill-popping milk guzzling protein overdosing and iron-pumping and loved every moment of it all. Last night just in time for my 1-month anniversary I finally was able to my goal to complete 1 pull-up from a dead hang wit...

Hi All. I've been on SCD since about mid-April. I haven't been keeping track of inches or lbs rather I've just been going by how stuff fits. As long as my pants are getting bigger I'm happy! In the past month I have started Kettlebell Swings and Jogging. So far I am down three sizes and I think around 22 lbs. The photo o...

Yesterday I had an epiphany The past couple years I did achieve some goals and all. But in a way I never dared to REALLY dream of big things! That's changed! I set up a roadmap for my life with some major milestones I need to reach. Let's dream big!

Ever since reading Martin's blog post last week here fkarounditis I've had to restrain myself quite a bit from answering some questions---out of fear of being---'too harsh'. Even in every day life unrelated to health I know a few of my answers in the past may have been harsh so I apologize. But more so I apologize fo...

So this is kind of a stupid question but id figure I would ask since everyone on this site is probably a lot smarter than me when it comes to the science of the body. Any ways to make a long story short My girlfriend of quite some time and I have recently broken up because she is moving to california and she sees no point i...

I began my journey on January 8 2012. On that day I weighed 271.2 pounds and my fasting blood glucose routinely ranged between 140 and 160. I have been faithful the the SCD since that day and I am pleased to report that my weight this morning was 237.8 pounds and my load glucose fasting or not is never above 109 and is ...

I read the 4HB and even tried slow carb diet in order to look human for a Caribbean cruise I was getting ready to go on but I never really felt the motivation to take good care of myself. Taking a step back to a few decades ago has it been that long? in my twenties I was bulletproof eating and doing as I pleased whi...

Has anyone read the book Wheat Belly by William Davis? I read about it in the paper today and it sounds just like the 4HourBody but with more of the science explained. If you've read it can you let me know if it's worth the buy? Better or worse than 4HB? http//www.wheatbellyblog.com/

I guess this isn't so much a question more of a newb's pondering. So right out of the gate I blew it. I stocked up on tofu and vegetarian meat substitute only to discover that soy is a no no and vegetarian meat substitutes have soy AND gasp wheat gluten. Doh!! My only excuse is that I found out about 4HB online a couple...

I made a 6-month commitment to myself for 4HB/SCD and started back on May 15. Today is November 15 and I am VERY proud to say that I have THIRTY-FIVE lbs off!! This forum has been a true delight for me during this time. The people here are knowledgeable supportive polite and so friendly. I've learned so much from ot...

Hi my name is Kristen. I am joining after my boyfriend jthornton89 had signed up. I am 22almost 23 and have been dieting since I was 8 years old. I am finally ready to lose the weight for myself and just myself. Its very liberating and exciting! We have been doing the slow carb diet for a week now and I've lost 7 pounds an...

I know that all artificial sweeteners are supposed to stall fat loss but to what extent? A lot of the protein bars and shakes out there contain sucralose / Splenda. I'm curious to know if I there's a specific limit on how much I can have per day?

My husband and I started the SCD journey on April 10th. We are nearly at the end of our 7th week and things have been going well. The hubs is 6'1" and started out at 214 pounds. He is now down to 196 18 pound loss and wants to continue on until he reaches 190 or perhaps even 180 now that he has had so much success!!! I ...

Hi everyone it's my 16th day on the SCD and I am so excited! A little about me I'm a 50 year old woman yikes! but most people think I'm about 40. Lol. I've always been thin 115-120 lbs and some people may think I still am. About 3 years ago due to my hormones changing and my thyroid taking a major dump I gained abou...

Hey there - After years of simply being neither unhappy nor content with my body I simply let things stay the way they were convinced that I couldn't build muscle. After reading Tim's book and getting over some insecurities I've decided to push myself to a new physical mental and spiritual peak. I'm hoping to learn a lo...

My camera cord is lost in the shifting abyss of my life since I'm moving to a new place so I can't share my official standardized before/after pics that I've been taking but I have some random ones from my sister's facebook. And one I demanded I be taken off of facebook!! This first picture wasn't my Harajuku moment but...

Hello everyone! I am here with another question. My cheat day is accidentally "moving" during week is it okay? Or I should make it strict to 1 day for example Saturday Friday Sunday etc. for the time being? I will be glad to move it as I please due to various circumstances a party/eating out in Japanese restaurant/birt...
