Hacking The Get Shredded Diet

Welcome to my first Quantified Self adventure.  Over the next 12 weeks, I will be recording my body fat changes and strength gains in real-time while I use a hybrid weight training protocol and cyclical ketogenic diet that I have designed by combining the ideas of:

John Berardi of Precision Nutrition Systems (www.johnberardi.com)
Martin Berkhan of Leangains (www.leangains.com)
Dave Asprey and Armi Legge of Bulletproof Executive (www.bulletproofexecutive.com)
Tim Ferris, author of the "The Four Hour Body" (His talk at SXSW on "Hacking the Human Body": http://www.youtube.com/fourhourbody#p/u/13/4qwP74XpaFU)

Oh, I almost left off John McCallum, the inventor of the ball-breaking 20-rep squat program that forms the crux of my training.  Yeah, two times a week I really don't like that guy, but if you're interested in the 20-rep squat program you can find more information on the Starting Strength Wiki by searching through google or just searching for "20 rep squat program".  

While I'll be posting more on the science behind "Hacking the Get Shredded Diet" and exactly what drove me to do this in the near future, for now the blog will be solely data collection while I get up and running.
