Journey to 6 pack, starting with 4 hour body

I've been working out for 2 month now, I think I gained about 20 pounds of muscle, now I am roughly 180 pounds and trying to lean up.

After reading bunch of source of materials, this is my regular workout routine.

Monday: Workout (chest or back), sitting on balance ball all day, sometimes yoga at 8pm

Tuesday: 2 hours of Jeet Kune Do class at 7:30PM

Wednesday: Workout (chest or legs), abs, swim for an hour and half, sometimes yoga after that

Thursday: Workout, (arms or legs)

Friday: Tennis, abs, sometimes workout

Saturday: Rest day, sometimes I go dancing

Sunday: Jeet Kune Do sparring, Workout (whatever is not sore)

This is what I've been doing, I cut my diet to no simple carbs whats so ever, occasionally taking shots of Acai or orange juice, shots of it.  And my body craves for sugar when I look at juices.

Regular diet, fat free greek yogart, fat free milk, whey protein powder, casein poweder before sleep, eat every 15 minute or so at very small portion, nuts, salmon, salad, chicken breasts, oat meals.  (this is usually it, I eat same stuff everyday)  I intake around 2000 to 2500 calories a day.  I take chill works and cold showers everyday to help reduce fat.

I am currently 27 years old, 178 pound, 6 feet, at 15.4% bodyfat (did it with Withings Scale), I've been doing the same workout for the past month, switch it up a little bit here and there so body don't get use to it, but generally it's same body mass, same fat percentage.

Just read 4 hour body by Timothy Ferris, and I am going to eat PAGG from now on, let's see what happens.  This will be my journey to 6 pack that I've been looking for ever since I was in high school.

Health 2.0 Conference experience

It was a great week last week to attend Health 2.0, seems like a lot of company is showcasing the product they've build.  There were few very impressive ones such as Healthline.  CTO of United States as well as CTO of HHS were able to show up and give an very exciting session during first day, Mitch Kipor and Esther Dyson were able to give VC perspective on the 2nd day.

I use to work at Mitochon Systems, which is an Electronic Medical Record company that tries to connect Patients and the Doctors.  I think there are 3 biggest problem that comes in with Healthcare systems.

1) FDA and all these government regulations, this slows down the process which kills a lot of creativity.  For example, if I am to input my glucos level one by one into the cellphone, it is not regulated.  But as soon as I am doing it automatically from a device, it is subject to government regulation which takes a year before you can release your product.

2) Need vs. Want, in IT world, we are focusing more and more on how to make people's life easier, if people don't want to use certain products, they simply dont use it.  So we are making things as easy as it is to use for users.  But in Healthcare, it seems that people are focusing a lot more on need, there are huge amount of "inputs" that doctors "needs" to do.  This totally puts in more process than their current work, which is simply writing stuff on paper and be done with it.

3) Health vs. Healthcare, we all know that healthcare price is going up, and it becomes unaffordable for many of us.  So one way we should be looking at is preventive care that citizens should do for themselves, so this way it would reduce amount of people that actually needs "healthcare" since more people will be "healthy".  And this can be achieved through food and physical activity.  It's not a fix to the problem but it can at least get people to be aware of what's going on.

Thanks Indu and Mathew for hosting Health 2.0 and gave me a great opportunity to attend such a wonderful event.  I was part of Code-A-Thon team but my team was coding upstairs since it gets too loud downstairs.  So if you were at the same event feel free to express your opinions
