This has been my breakfast for the last week or so.

After hearing about it a few weeks ago on Jay Mohr’s podcast, I’ve been doing research on the “4 Hour Body Diet” or “slow carb” diet” which is a low glycemic index diet that is related to other low carb/paleo style diets. The point that really made the whole plan sound do-able was the single day off where you are allowed to eat anything. The hardest part, for me, of any of the low-carb diets is the idea that I can’t ever have high carbohydrate foods. I can’t imagine never eating another bagel or pancakes for breakfast and I think, for most people this is totally unrealistic. Giving ourselves a single, schedule day off just makes sense to me.

So, I started eating this way on Monday, April 8th. The overall plan has been easy to stick to and I’m seeing some results on the scale that will hopefully continue over the next few weeks.
