Re: Kickboxing for cardio workout?
I am guessing you don't mean real fighting kickboxing. Kickboxing is a great full body workout, I would recommend real kickboxing though, much better workout. Adding some kettlebell workouts wou...
Re: Protein in the AM
Whoa that is a lot of protein. 20-30 grams is what you are suppose to shoot for depending on your amount of lean mass. Tuna is one of the best protein sources along with eggs and skinless chicke...
Re: Sugar Cravings
I get these too still sometimes. The best thing that works for me is a protein shake with whole milk. Sometimes I have a 1/2 glass of grapefruit juice, or vegtable/fruit juice combo.

Re: How Detrimental is Coca Cola to Six Pack Abs?
This is the funniest question I have seen asked so far. No only is soda bad for your bf% and six pack, but it is bad for you general heath over all. I bet that you would run even better times if...
Re: 3 1/2 month progress report
Great job keep up the good work!
Re: Egg Flip for Protein?
Great idea if you are around 10% body fat and trying to bulk up. If you are trying to lose fat then this isn't going to help with that.
Re: How Many Beans is Too many Beans?
Wow how can you stomach that much? I know there is no limit to portions in the book really but portion control has been a huge part of my success so far. I would recommend to eat more vegetables...
Re: 12 Weeks on SCD took off 20 lbs. -- What next??
Great question. If you keep the same diet but add 10-15 minute of HIIT kettlebell workout you will accelerate you fat loss and build some good muscle definition. Here is a post with pictures tha...
Re: Gaining muscle but also gaining fat
Weight and fat are controlled mostly by diet. Protein shakes are OK, if taken at the right time, usually before or after working out. I recommend Casein protein. White rice is not going to he...

Hi Pariah, Welcome! You've come to the right place. The 4HB community is pretty big now and I have made a lot of online friends from it. Don't forget that the 4HB is all about self experimen...
Re: Is whole grain bread OK?
I find it funny the way people word these things types of questions. Sure it is OK, but you will stall, slow or reverse any progress you have made.
Re: GOMAD Day 1: Holy &*^% That's a Lot of Milk!
Hi Raihe, I found this article on GOMAD when I was doing research to help my brother http://stronglifts.com/gomad-milk-squats-gallon-gain-weight/ They suggest starting with 1 litre and day and ...
Thanks and Good luck Neo!
Re: Losing lean body mass
The one thing I have found from reading a lot of people's experiences with the SCD is that there is not enough emphasis placed on keeping your diet inline with your activity. Active people need t...
Re: Slow Carb + Insanity Workouts
SCD is not a low or 0 carb diet. If you are doing CKD then that is a really low carb diet. I bet you could get as good or better results with only working out 3-4 days a week 15-30 minutes of HI...
Re: I need a good bodyweight only routine
Franklin, I asked the same question on quora and someone posted this link http://www.oneresult.com/training/male-intermediate-weightless-work... I also have been using Convict Conditioning book...
Re: Am I Failing?!
Interesting findings, I have had similar experience myself in the past although I am not doing G2F or Occam's yet. I have become a bit skeptical of lifting until absolute failure since reading Ch...
Re: Incline or Decline? With which type of bench press do you recommend that I use for a first run through Occam's?
I would do what is convenient or what is more challenging. I always struggled with decline but a lot of gyms don't have a good decline bench.
Re: Vacation Time. Japan. CQ & PAGG ???
MMMMM Rice how I miss you ..... I have not taken or read much about CQ, but you probably could take both. Maybe a omega-3 as well, although Japanese diets have a lot of fish. If you can control...
Re: Mountain Biking
I am guessing you are probably not a sedentary or obese person. So some carbs would not be a big deal during of after your long duration activity. I have read in many places that marathon runne...
Re: Craving sugar!
Drink lots of water (I drink over 4liters a day). Make sure you are eating enough at your meals. Eat more vegies. What I did to slowly get off the sugar is small portions of fruit or fruit juice....
Re: When I start eating normally again, will the weight come back?
I am afraid you are missing the point of the book and the diet. The diet IS eating normally. They way you ate before isn't. Now there may be some experimentation needed for you to figure out th...
Re: Sparkling water hindering weight loss or okay?
Generally anything flavored is not good, read the label and see if there is a sweetener in it. Artificial sweeter is OK if you are OK with it, personally I try to stay away from the stuff.
Re: Can body fat go down while inches go up?
If you are doing any sort of resistance training that could result in muscle hypertrophy which would cause inches to go up. It depends where the inches are that are increasing. Inches around you...

Re: Why do I need to eat with in 30 mins of waking?
I often don't have a blender so I just use a protein shaker. You can get them at most supplement stores. Like this http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/bbcom/shaker.html

I haven't registered for one yet but that is a goal of mine. I will be doing a 1/2 marathon soon though. I know there are some other 4HB people that I have seen talking about triathlons like thi...
Re: Mountain biking
I have read that rasins are a great carb source and will restore muscle glycogen quickly. Marathon runners use them see http://www.marathon-training-program.com/diet-for-marathon-runners-...
Re: I'm on day 4. I only want to lose ~5 lbs. Will this diet work for me?
Any change you make in your diet usually will cause a change in your body composition. Then your body will adjust and plateau. I am sure other people your size have had some success with it. If...
Re: Resistance vs. Weights
Hi Brady, I haven't started Occam's yet but have been experimenting with different body weight exercises to add some bulk. I doubt the bowflex would be enough resistance to simulate lifting heav...

Chicken broth is fine, the only thing it is high in is sodium so just watch for that.

Re: What were your thoughts when you first started?
I always have a plan and figure it will be easy, but temptation when I am at social events kill me. If your body fat is above 20% then losing 20 lbs should be pretty easy. A trick that I have ...

Re: Air Squats and Wall Pushups
I usually do a mini workout (100 push ups usually) before and/or after every diner. I figured that the science behind the cheat day would work for each meal, why not get carbs to go to muscle glyc...
Re: Carbs after resistance-training workout?
If you are training for an athletic competition and already a low body fat % then some high glycemic index carbs right after a workout would be ok for restoring muscle glycogen. Actually a recent...
Re: Minimally effective dose on cheat day?
Great idea. I think if you want to figure out the MED you should be looking more at amount of carbs/sugar/glucose and not just calories. If you generally get calories from protein, but on cheat ...

Re: While eating a lot less carbs, How do I keep my energy level up?
To be honest you don't. That is why it is recommend to limit your exercise when on a really low carb diet. The slow carb diet is not a low carb diet. Eat lots of legumes and vegetables and you ...
