Jay posted this blog entry today\u00a0on our 4 Hour Body Challenge website<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0my first impression: Jason you absolutely rock!<\/div>\n
Here are some of my favorite Excerpts from Jay\u2019s biography\u2026<\/div>\n
About Jay<\/span>:<\/p>\n
\n
28-year-old male; Occupation: Technical Support; Height: 5\u2019 9\u201d; Starting weight: 252 lbs.; Starting body fat 28-30%;<\/strong> Physical impairments: Not many, aside from incurable laziness and bad balance.<\/li>\n
Activity Level<\/strong>: I believe sloths move more than I do. I once got into a sitting contest with a large rock and won. Number of serious diet attempts: \u201cSerious?\u2019 None, obviously. I\u2019m never serious. Maybe twice. When I was 15 my Jujitsu instructor told me I would always be big, but I didn\u2019t need to be fat.\u00a0 I showed him (Sorry, Sensei Stockwell!)\u00a0 So I tried to lose weight. About two years ago I was given the choice to lose weight or die. I showed them, too!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Training Plan<\/span>:<\/p>\n
\n
Ice Packs\/Cold Showers, Kettlebell Swings, Myotatic Crunches and Cat Vomits<\/strong>, and any other activity I feel like at the time.<\/li>\n
Vitamins\/Supplements:\n\n
As soon as PAGG becomes free, Tim Ferriss writes me a check, or I Find more meaningful** work, I\u2019ll take that too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
** Higher-paying<\/p>\n
Nutrition Plan:<\/p>\n
\n
Focus on increasing total protein in diet and decreasing carbohydrates. Not strict slow carb diet but may be focusing on a more targeted ketogenic diet in the near future (more info to come).\u00a0 I totally just copy-pasted this from Stephen.\u00a0 I know, that\u2019s cheating. I\u2019m a cheater.<\/li>\n
Basically that\u2019s it, but doing so as cheaply as possible. The hardest part will be resisting the proscribed foods during the week.<\/li>\n
When I am stressed I eat. And I am by nature an angry person. A total jerkface!\u00a0 My diet will be much more ketogenic than slow-carb, keeping my net carbs right around 100 grams by using xanthan gum as a thickener. I just want to shout xanthan gum. Maybe write an E-chord metal song.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Goals:<\/p>\n
\n
Die at 80 in a warm bed with<\/strong>\u2026 Oh, wait.. You mean for this. Sorry, I get distracted. Honestly I\u2019d like to get down below 25% body fat. Heck, I might dream big and go for 20% (GASP!)\u00a0 I\u2019d also like \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026. Read More<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n
