Today marks the third day of Tim Ferriss' Slow-Carb Diet, as laid out in The 4-Hour Body.
For the next 27 days, I will execute the plan, document my progress, and share any relevant observations along the way. Does it work? Is it worth doing? Do I have enough will power to stick it out? I invite you to join me on this 30 day adventure and find out.

Observations
Day three felt normal. I worked a full 12 hours at the office with no noticeable loss of energy. I had so much energy that I went to bed around 3 am the next morning.
Thanks to the increased fiber, I frequent the men's room more often than usual. Fortunately, there are no uncomfortable side effects to report at this time.
Similar to yesterday's observation, the hunger pains are gone. Knowing I have to eat four meals, I am now forcing myself to eat. However, there was a moment around midnight that I got the munchies and ate some leftover pepperoni slices. That was good!
Final Thoughts
I failed to workout, include protein drinks, or meet my gallon water goal. Maybe tomorrow I'll do better.
