Well today marks the half way mark of my 4 Hour Body experiment. At the end of the day I’ll add a summary of my experience so far.
Another groundhog day for me. Wake up and do my Daily Morning Routine (today I also will move my meditation until the evening for bed).
Protein shake, followed by a nice big Greg’s Porridge.
During the day I ate Greg’s Veggie Stew, two lots of stove top espressos (with a dabble Bonsoy soy milk), a handful of almonds and 3 brazil nuts.
Then went to St Kilda West to go kite surfing for an hour. Was pretty fun despite the wind dropping and my quick release catching my board (I need to change this piece of shit), thus releasing and my kite almost getting destroyed on a sewage outlet.
Took the waterproof dressing off my leg this evening. It’s looking pretty good and can’t believe after 7 days and a session in the ocean the waterproof dressing held strong!
Got home and smashed a big protein shake, then Greg’s Veggie Stew again. Finally a bit bowl of Greg’s Porridge to top the day off.
Strangely I feel like eating more! Looking forward to Workout B. I’m going to burn burn burn and feel the growth!!
So, a quick summary of the last two weeks:
- All I do is eat and shit all day
- Only training twice a week has given me so much more time, if only the wind was up all the time I’ll put those energies into that (although I know I’m not supposed to)
- When I started this experiment my weekly average weight was 72.7kg.
- The following week my average weight moved up to 74.5kg
- And this current week (which is still going) my average weight today is 75.7kg
- That is an average gain of 3kg and the halfway mark. My goal was 4kg in 4 weeks, so not doing too bad so far.
- The next two weeks will be shitloads of food and training until I almost puke (for some reason this happens for Workout B, but not Workout A)
At the end of 28 days I’ll do another DEXA scan and also I plan to do at least a 24 hour water fast, or maybe longer, to give my digestive system a break and help my body do some repairing. Then I’ll get back into intermittent fasting and training 4-5 days a week, although I might throw some kettlebell swing sessions into my workout as well for good measure.

- Bedtime weight: 77.1kg (I did take a pre-pee measurement before this and came in at 77.5kg woohoo)
