1. The 4-Hour Body Worked For Me!
By Steven M Tanner
Tim Ferriss, the author of New York Times best seller, The 4-hour Workweek
has added another masterpiece to the best sellers list called The 4-Hour
Body. This book was a ten year work-in-progress that covers many unique
areas that are related to "physical peak performance". Some of these areas
include: weight loss, weight gain, sexual techniques, how to add 100lbs to
your bench press, how to hold your breath under water for more than three
minutes, training for a marathon in only 12 weeks, and strategies on how to
live forever. Sounds unrealistic?...Not really actually.
I personally tried whats called the "Slo-Carb Diet" to see if it is possible to lose 20lbs in a month
without exercise, but rather sticking to a strict eating regimen. Here are my monthly results (I
weighed myself before breakfast every day at the same time on the same scale in the same
location, completely naked so there was no room for the scale to make any errors):
Jan 8th 176.6 (Heaviest of the month)
Jan 9th 173.0 (Slo-Carb Diet Begins)
Jan 10th 172.0
Jan 11th 170.0
Jan 12th 170.0
Jan 13th 167.8
Jan 14th 168.6 (Beginning of the Binge Day)
Jan 15th 172.2 (Day After the Binge Day)
Jan 16th 168.3 (End of the one week Slo-Carb diet)
Jan 17th 168.8
Jan 18th 168.2
Jan 19th 171.0 (Forgot and weighed myself after breakfast instead of before)
Jan 20th 168.8
Jan 21st 168.0
Jan 22nd 168.0
Jan 23rd 168.0
Jan 24th 167.0
Jan 25th 166.6
Jan 26th 165.6 (The lowest of the month)
The reason why my weight kept declining after the diet is because my stomach shrank and I was
not able to eat as much food. Losing eleven pounds in only two weeks... not too shabby. This
book is excellent for anyone looking to change their body in any shape or form. Hope you enjoy
it as much as I did.
