March 2013 - Where did 2012 go?

It's been a very long time since my last post, due to a variety of issues that I won't bore you with :)

2012 Results
This is slightly skewed because I started my fasting cycle in Feb(12) and finished it in Feb(13) but I'm calling this the 2012 results.

I successfully completed a year of weekly fasting. I fasted every week for at least 40 hours and sometimes substantially more. My longest fast of the year was 108 hours.

2013 Plans
I first read The 4 hour body while committed to my one year fasting regime, so put it down for future review. Over the Xmas period I picked it up again, and decided that this would be my next 1 year program.

As, I'm currently carrying excess weight my first plan is to start with the Slow Carb Diet (SCD), the idea of losing fat while doing no exercise is appealing to someone who spends a lot of time at a desk especially when my regular training has taken a big hit lately.

Using a template that one of the 4 Hour folks generated I have a one year weight loss spreadsheet that shows an ideal path along with upper and lower limits. I record my weight daily and track it against the projected plan.

For more details on the actual plan I refer you to the 4 Hour Body by Time Ferriss which you can find on Amazon and other bookstores.

Other changes
My interests have always been beyond just fasting, so I have a new project that I'll be launching soon that's in a similar vein to what I've been trying to do here.

Onwards and Upwards!
