Today I took a step towards a better life.  I started a new diet that is supposed to help me lose weight without any working out.  This isn’t a paleo diet or body 4 life.

A couple of months ago, while I was working on getting ready for my USAF Fitness Test, a friend sat me down and said that he wanted to give me a book to read and take to heart.  He has been fighting his weight for a while and finally found a program that worked after one of his friends lost a lot of weight.  I read the book and decided to wait until after the move to start.

Today is that day.   So what is this plan?  It’s from a book called 4 Hour Body by Timothy Ferriss.

Simple rules to follow:

Rule #1: Avoid “white” carbohydrates (or anything that can be white).
Rule #2: Eat the same few meals over and over again.
Rule #3: Don’t drink calories.
Rule #4: Don’t eat fruit.
Rule #5: Take one day off per week and go nuts.

You eat beans, lots and lots of beans and enjoy lots of water.  All the vegetables you can enjoy also.  No calorie counting.  (Bonus)  Beef and Chicken are also enjoyed.  (Fish is also in the list, however, I don’t eat fish)

Now, this you eat for 6 days.  On the cheat day (SATURDAY!!!) you can eat anything you want and as much as you want.  Pizza…go for it….ice cream, oh yeah!  You have to take the cheat day.  You can’t skip it.  I’ll let you all know how it goes.

So today it begins…
