This is Day 1 for me of the Slow Carb diet. I read about it in The 4 Hour Body<\/a> by Tim Ferris<\/a>. I know I should wait for the scale I ordered to start it so I have accurate starting stats, but I figured it couldn’t hurt. So I have no accurate weight or body fat info for this first post. I estimate that I weigh 170 lbs (based on last time I weighed myself) and about 17% body fat (based on pictures in 4-Hour Body). My target is 155-160 with 10-12% body fat. It’s been too long since I was that lean (145 lbs, 8-10% body fat), and I pretty much lived on a bicycle (pedicab and bike delivery) at that time. Anyway, here we go on the Slow Carb Diet!<\/p>\n

Breakfast<\/h2>\n

2 eggs fried in butter
\na good handful of spinach, wilted
\n1\/2 cup black beans
\n1 cup of black tea with 1\/2 tsp agave nectar and 1 1\/2 tbsp whole milk
\n32+ oz water<\/p>\n

I know agave nectar and milk aren’t on the diet, but I’m out of coffee and this is about the only way I like tea. I’ll get more coffee today.<\/p>\n

12 oz water (one bottle)
\n~6 oz coffee (black)<\/p>\n

Lunch<\/h2>\n

1 cup black beans (lightly salted and peppered)
\n2.4 oz chicken breast
\n1\/2 avocado
\n2 hard boiled eggs
\nbrussel sprouts
\nbroccoli
\n16+ oz water<\/p>\n

this might have been a little too much food<\/i><\/p>\n

12 oz water (one bottle)
\n6-10 oz coffee<\/p>\n

Update (6:00 pm): Starting stats are 170 lbs even, 18.6% body fat and 62% water. Pretty good guess work.<\/p>\n

Dinner<\/h2>\n

3\/4 cup black beans
\n2.6 oz chicken
\ngreen beans
\nfresh onion
\nfresh tomato
\n1\/2 avocado<\/p>\n

Never did poop, but man did I ever pee a lot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
