Carb Back-Loading Results After 14 Weeks

I’ve concluded my Carb Back-Loading experiment after doing my best to stick with it for 14 weeks. If you want to see what I wrote from weeks 1 through 11, you can find them here:

Thank You Tim Ferriss

A few months ago I was interviewed by Carol Salva on the Fat2FitHQ podcast and recently I appeared as a guest on the Health Nuts Anonymous podcast (the episode hasn’t been released yet), and in both of those appearances I was asked to describe how I got to where I currently am.

One of the major inflection points in my life was when I first encountered the work of Tim Ferriss. His book, The 4 Hour Body was what first exposed me to the concept of bio-hacking and the quantified self, which was the inspiration for a lot of what I’m doing now. … Read More

This is by no means meant to be complete. If you want the complete breakdown just go ahead and read through the transcript, although there are quite a few transcription errors (seems like they use either automated software or a foreign transcription service), so listening to the podcast will be more accurate.… Read More

Carb Nite and Carb Back-Loading July 4th Discount

Kiefer’s currently offering some big July 4th discounts on his books. If I’m doing my math correctly, based on his online countdown timer, I believe these prices will only be available until Sunday, July 6th.

The Carb Nite Solution – is now being offered for $18, which is 33% off the full price.

Carb Back-Loading – is now being offered for $37, which is 50% off the full price.

Basis Band vs Misfit Shine – Sleep Tracking Review

(To read more about my thoughts on the Basis Band, check out my review here)

One of the biggest strengths that I’ve found with the Basis Band is it’s sleep tracking functionality. I’ve played with a few of the more popular sleep tracker apps that I can purchase on my iPhone such as Sleep Cycle, which uses the accelerometer if my phone to detect motion, which is a surrogate for the different phases of sleep. … Read More

Basis Band Review

(I initially planned this post to be a comparison between the sleep tracking abilities between the Misfit Shine and the Basis Band, hence the picture on the left, but it turned out that I had a lot more to say about the Basis than I thought… so I’ll be splitting up the posts)

I picked up the Basis Band Health Tracker last October 2013 (mine is the first generation B1 band) because it seemed like it was the most comprehensive wearable tracker available at the time. … Read More
