How To Lose 20lbs In 30 Days Without Exercising

This entry is part 1 of 15 in the series 4 Hour Body Diet

Tim Ferriss Will Take You HigherThat’s the rather intriguing headline in a chapter of Tim Ferriss’ new book, The 4-Hour Body.  If you don’t know Tim Ferriss, you really should.  He’s a bit over the top, but always an interesting and useful read.  His previous book, The 4-Hour Workweek, focused on ways in which you can hack your life into a fun filled odyssey of travel and learning.  His new book focuses on ways to hack your body into a lean, mean (or muscular) performance machine!  Tim includes details on every thing from losing weight to increasing your sex drive, using himself as a test subject for hormones, injections, workouts and the occasional trip to the doctor.

Most Horrible Smoothie EVER

This entry is part 2 of 15 in the series 4 Hour Body Diet

Most important lesson of this new diet? Never, ever, EVER try to make a smoothie out of three raw eggs, a cup of spinach and half a can of pinto beans. The result will offend four out of your five senses, and the screaming of my taste buds offended the fifth.

Other than that, life as Tim Ferriss (at least at meal times) is going rather well.

Making It Work – The Tim Ferriss Diet

This entry is part 6 of 15 in the series 4 Hour Body Diet

I’m a big believer in experimentation, especially on myself.  As long as it’s not too extreme, I’m more than willing to try it out and see if it works.  So when I noticed some of my own issues with following the Tim Ferriss diet, I started wondering what could be causing these problems.  I’m not usually the kind of person who gives in to sugar cravings and goes to consume a whole bag of chocolates.  Not that I don’t love chocolate, but I can usually restrain myself pretty well.  So what’s been going on in the past few weeks that’s causing me issues around healthy eating?

Tim Ferriss 4 Hour Body Diet – Week 5

This entry is part 7 of 15 in the series 4 Hour Body Diet

It’s now week five of my Tim Ferriss diet and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
