I Was Fatter Than I Thought (And Still Am)

Ok,

So I have been pretty low-key lately. I sold my company six months ago and have spent the last little while reflecting, strategizing, enjoying my family and………redefining my girlish figure. I picked up the book The Four Hour Body by Tim Ferriss about three months ago. I really liked his no BS ideas for losing weight, gaining muscle, etc. He litereally hacks the human body to find the easiest ways to achieve your goals.

The book came to me at the same time I was introduced to a new nutritional supplement I was asked to market. It’s a very high level anti-oxidant product that no one has really heard of.

Sooooooo I decided to combine the workouts with the juice and see what kind of results I could get in 30 days. The workout was 30 minutes per day twice per week. That adds up to be exactly four hours, just like the book says. I also followed his suggested protein intake which was quite high (200 grams per day for my body) and had one cheat day per week.

All in all, the workouts were pretty fun, the supplement was tasty and gave me AMAZING energy, and I adapted easily to the eating.

Before you judge my pictures below and tell me how fat I was know this: I have three black belts and I can find you :)

Starting weight: 180.5 End 182.8

Starting Bodyfat 13.5% End 11.2%

Approximate fat loss: 4lbs

Approximate muscle gain: 7lbs

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All on just four hours of working out for the entire month!

I am pretty stoked with the results so far. My goal is to be 185 by Sept.15th and 10% bodyfat. I dig the book and suggest you buy it. For more information on the exciting new product I was taking…..stay tuned. I will have more on that next week.

PS I also added my friend Alex’s pictures. He worked out with me for proof, and as you can see, he did very well. He is also Phillipino and naturally walks around at 12% bodyfat so he had a head start and ended up at 10% bodyfat (so screw him.)

PPS Yeah I wear tight underwear. I am comfortable with it.
