Changing modalities mid-waterway

Howdy again all.  I has been a month since my last post.  A few things have changed and others have not.  I've decided to end this cycle early and post results for reference.

I made it good the first few weeks and then started to let things creep into the diet that were not strictly on the diet.  Instead of raw I would eat some cooked veggie dish.  Then something else with maybe some pasta or bacon bit in a salad.  Anyway after 3 weeks I broke.  Pounds started coming back on and I had no discipline except bad discipline.

I couple weeks ago I read through Tim Ferriss' 4-Hour Body book which advocates the Slow-Carb Diet.  I can do low carb and I especially like that he gives you a cheat day where you can have whatever you want.  So I am now going to start a new cycle using a modified lower carb version of the diet while taking his recommended PAGG stack of supplements.  (Policosanol, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Green Tea Extract and Garlic) What do they do?  Here is one explanation: What Is The PAGG Stack?

Today I also weighed in and got some measurements.  This will be my baseline for the 2nd cycle but I will also compare it to my 1st round...

Weight: 305.4
Bicep R: 14.75    L:  14
Waist: 50.5
Hips: 50.25
Mid-thigh R:  25    L:  24.5
(other measurements)
Neck: 19.5
Chest: 50.5
Calf R:  18.5    L:  18

So from cycle 1 with 7 weeks from 9/11 to 10/30 I lost-gained...
7.6lbs lost
1/2" lost off neck
1 1/4" gained on bicep
1/2" lost off chest
1 1/2" lost off waist
1" lost off R thigh
1/2" lost off R calf

Not bad, not great but not bad.  I can definitely tell some of my range of motion has improved.  This is with zero exercise.

My cycle two 4HB Total Inches starting point is 179
