Has anyone read the book, The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman
I am specifically interested if anyone has followed the diet plan mentioned in the book, I have been thinking about it, I have also read "The Paleo Solution" and this diet seems to follow most of the Paleo diet recommendations, I would like to find out if someone has had any success with following this diet, I have been thinking of starting this diet program from this weekend, hence very curious to find out.
I saw it yesterday in a bookstore, reading the backside the statement that you could burn a large sum of fat with ice. I tried looking quickly to see what that was about and did not find it. Do you have to sit in ice, eat it, sleep with it. What was that trick?
Looked at it yesterday at the bookstore. It's a big book like an encyclopedia. Flipped through it, read a little....Timothy Ferris says to limit or omit fruit for weight loss & to have a "wild carb" day once a week to keep the metabolism going. I agree with him & think his book may be worth checking out. Mr. Ferries is some kind of millionaire entrepreneur, has his own original way of thinking. Gotta love that.

I know two things about this diet.
1. Ferriss is pretty much a laughing stock in serious body building circles. He has earned no respect.
2. I've only read about Paleo in passing and know alot of people are turned off by the fanboys, but it seems to be a generally well regarded plan. Meanwhile, people have commonly referred to Ferriss' plan as a watered down Paleo with a good helping of kooky Moderator cut: language removed sprinkled on top.
Long story short, if you've read Paleo you will learn nothing new from Ferriss' work.

You don't know enough on matters of nutrition and fitness to know whether his way of thinking is original or not. If you were as smart as you think you are, you would have been saying the same thing I said in point #2 up top.
Case in point, those mid week carb loads have been around before Ferriss was in Pampers. The plan I follow (created by a licensed physician and former world champion powerlifter TYVM) has advocated that going back to 1995 at the latest.

Everyone wants rapid fat loss and incredible sex but they dont want to pick up the book nor do they want to eat right (no sugar, not fats, no white breads, no sodas, etc.) or workout.

The best diet books are the simple ones. I personally like Food Rules: An Eater's Manual by Michael Pollan. It's around 70 short pages, with large type and not many words on each page. It makes sense and isn't overly complicated. It has rules such as "If a 3rd grader can't read the ingredients, it's not food. Don't eat it". "if your grandmother or great-grandmother wouldn't have recognized it as food, don't eat it", etc.
A book that is promising "Incredible Sex" and this is only post #9? .....In two weeks?
I'm beginning to worry about this country.
Probably because anyone who Googled this clown saw that their supposed "superhuman" was, well....
...not so "super" after all.
