My wife was home for 12 hours before I had to fly out for a five day business trip. I left weighing 161lbs, and measuring 33" at the belly button.
PAGG, water, lots and lots of burgers, unhealthy seafood, some breakfasts, terrible unhealthy food.. Lots of alcohol.. Almost no sleep, gallons of white mocha from Starbucks. Just imagine the worst stuff you could ingest.. That was my week. Most nights I got by on 2-4 hours of sleep.. which reminds me of another chapter in 4HB. Its about how to get by for short periods of time (a few days to a few weeks) with 2 hours of sleep per day. Without realizing what I was doing, I fell right into this schedule.. or a variation of it. I'd sleep VERY soundly each night for a few hours, and nap for 15 minutes about three times a day. Totally accidental, but it goes to show how adaptive the human body can be. Mind you, the last day or two I was running about 60-70% speed.. my mind was still sharp and clear though. Also, upon returning home, it took a good 36 hours of laying around the house and hanging with my family to fully recover.
Anyway, the most unbelievable results when it came time to weight/measure. On a trip where I treated my body like absolute crap, I totally should been bloated, slow, weak, etc etc. I lost 3 pounds and 1.5 inches. W.T.F. Has this Timothy Ferriss found the fountain of youth?!
