Cottage Cheese on Slow Carb – The Low Down

The Four Hour Body on a Crazy Schedule
This week we had visitors from out of town coming to stay with us, and the simple fact was that our schedule was going to be very different to normal, and most likely we would be away from our house, and our home routines for a lot of the week.

LOMAD – Occam’s Protocol – does it work?
I wrote recently about things seeming to stop moving upwards, for a week or so, and so I set out to tackle this problem with a few solutions. The most obvious change was adding milk to my protein shakes, and adding an extra protein shake per day, for a total of 2-3 drinks on non-workout days, and 3 on workout days. This worked out to a total of around 1 liter of milk per day, or LOMAD. So, how are my results, after a little over a week of this strategy? Continue reading

Starting The Four Hour Body regime
Gibsons, BC
As the New Year tolls around the world, and I send off messages to friends in other timezones, I have this building feeling about 2011 and just how bursting with potential it is. I haven’t felt this way every New Year’s Day, and perhaps I could attribute it to yesterday’s skiing in heaven-on-earth conditions, or it could be due to the last 8 days of food deprivation and headaches, and my reading some of The Four Hour Body.
