4hourbody diet

This is the basic diet tenents of the 4hour body:

Five rules for cutting body fat:
1. Avoid "white" carbohydrates
2. Eat the same few meals over and over again
3. Don't drink calories
4. Don't eat fruit
5. Take one day off per week

I'm not looking forward to the part of skipping fruits, I like eating fruits and juicing.  I also enjoy a  all fruit smoothie right after working out so this will be the hardest part.  I'm planning to start kicking it off during the new year and taking dreaded before pics and pics of the meals I eat.

About me

I started working out when I was 18. I enjoyed it through out college but after injuring my shoulder I stopped working out. I finished school and got a real job, since then my workouts and nutrition have been inconsistent at best. I'm 6 feet tall and currently weigh 192 lbs. At my worst I was pushing 215 lbs and that was a few years ago. This year I started focusing on working out and trying to get myself in the best shape possible. I went through one iteration of p90x which helped bring me down to 192. Now I'm consistently going to the gym a few times a week. What I've never focused on is my nutrition, but after reading the 4 hour body I decided to give it's plan a shot. The purpose of this blog is to see how much of a change I can make, a real person. My plan is to start in a few weeks and post both before shots as well as every meal i eat. I'm hoping to get some support from the Internet and help people see what works and what doesn't.
