Tim Ferriss Diet – Week 4
Alright! The last week of this diet! I got back from Portland last night were I spent some time with one of my oldest friends. My girlfriend and I decided to put the diet on the back burner for the entire trip. We thought it best to spare my friend the burden of finding us restaurants that serve lentils and spinach. So we had an extended two days of cheating the diet. If anyone is in Portland, I highly recommend the desserts at Papa Haydn in the Alphabet District. Yum!
So, I weighed myself last week before we left for Portland. I’m keeping the amount of weight I’ve lost under wraps for now so that the few followers I do have on the blog will (hopefully) come back to see the final results next week. But let me say that I have actually lost more weight than I thought I would. I’ve burnt away all my “thesis weight” and I am actually below my target weight now.
My clothes are a lot looser too. I can now fit again into all those clothes I used to wear in high school. Pretty sweet!
My girlfriend has not weighed herself yet. She has doubts that she has lost any weight, but I know that she has. She’s just afraid of getting her hopes up, I think.
Overall, this diet is getting very boring. Beans, lentils, veggies, some meat for dinner. That’s about it. Maybe it’s the fact that I know it works; maybe it’s the fact that I’m nearing the end, but I am really eager to get off this diet.
I am considering writing a short PDF report on this diet that will cover what Tim Ferriss failed to mention on his blog. Namely how to manage your emotions on this diet and some recipes that will add some variety to the diet. Maybe I’ll sell it here for a modest price (don’t worry you won’t see any of that overpriced “$97 $47″ marketing hype here). I’m thinking maybe $5 or $10. Would any of you be interested in that?
Well, that’s all to say for now. If you’re doing this diet, keep it up. It really does work!

Awesome job Clayton! Just about anything Tim puts out is worth a look. I’m not surprised the diet is the same way.
boring can be good. In most fitness endeavors, including diet and exercise, you’re usually making progress when you’re bored and not jumping around.
Keep it up! There’s no downside to being healthy, except that you can’t eat nachos and donuts for every meal.

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the internet. Yes, boring is good. I think it means that I’ve fully integrated the diet into my life, which is only a bad thing from a blogging stand point. If something is completely boring it can be hard to come up with new ways of blogging about it.
