This blog will be an online journal of an experiment I am taking upon myself. Using the 4-Hour Body book written by Timothy Ferriss as a guide on redesigning my life. The book is a guide to efficiently living life and discusses new practices and unpopular approaches to eating, sleeping, sex, and living life in general. I've always been a fan of the saying "Everything Popular is Wrong" by Oscar Wilde. I can see how rebelling against the norm is a marketing tactic for a best seller such as this book, but that doesn't make it wrong, or in other words, NOT-ground-breaking.
I'll detail a few important concepts of this book without giving away too much as to not get hit with copyright infringement. Whether or not people read this blog or not, it will be a personal online testiment to a personal experiment I have done to myself. Hopefully a few months from now I will be able to look back and read through this blog and bask in the glory of my results of becoming a super human being.
Here is a pic of some of the groceries I have been collecting in preparation for this project. You will see that a large part of my diet will consist of legumes (beans!). If any of you are familiar with the Slow-Carb diet that has made this book so popular, the biggest change for me will be the lack of all "White" Carbohydrates. (I'll explain in more detail in a later post on what Tim means by "white"). The majority of my groceries consists of beans such as lentils, chick peas, bean medlys, vegetables like spinach and brocoli. A few other items I should mention is a protein powder for my early morning shakes, almond butter and natural peanut butter, and of course red wine. (apparently up to 2 glasses a day is more then fine and does not interrupt the diet at all.
On to day 1...
