The 4-Hour Body: 10 day results

The 4-Hour Body: Slow Carb Diet 10 day results from Johnny Flynn on Vimeo.

Today is my 10th day of the 4-hour body slow carb diet. So far this program has been far easier and more manageable than I expected. For the past nine days I have not done any working out of any kind. Today I have decided to start incorporating cardio and weightlifting into my program. I started off easy with 75 reps of 2-handed Kettlebell swings as well as the "From geek to freak" recommended lifts of pull downs ( 7 reps, pace 5/5) and shoulder press (7 reps, 5/5 pace). Needless to say, that was definitely enough to trigger some soreness for tomorrow. I will be ice packing my body down tonight to increase fat burning as well.

As you may remember, I didn't take my measurements on my first day of the diet. I did however weigh-in and measured my bodyfat percentage.

Here are the results as of today 1/21/11

1/11/11-   weight: 224.7 lbs/ bodyfat: 32.3 %


1/18/11- body measurements: Biceps: 13.5 in, Waist: 41in, Hips: 40.5 in, Thighs: 24 in.
