4 hour body audio book12/29/2023 The workouts (like the ones in Occam’s Protocol) won’t break any records.Īnd the other advice in the book is more useful as thought-provoking reads than as instructions: you really won’t start playing major league baseball after reading the chapter, nor become an ultra-marathoner. The workouts are simple and not time consuming (you can do it all in machines, there’s no need to learn new lifts).ĬONS: You have to trust Tim’s word for most of it - I mean, it’s not like legumes have any magical property - at least, not according to science.Īt the same time, the strengths of the protocols become their weaknesses.īecause no calorie tracking means you’re flying blind.Ĭheat days every week may stall your progress. No calorie tracking removes confusion and a layer of complexity. What I mean is this: The diet is enjoyable and easy to follow.Ĭheat days every week mean you still eat all your favourite foods on a weekly basis. Specially the start of the book, where I feel Tim “rigs the game so you can win”. Tim Ferriss is a great storyteller, and the book is fun to read - at least the first 60–70%. Tim Ferriss, we meet againĪnd, I have to say, it has its pros and cons. So, after all those years (and a myriad of other diet books), I felt it was time do acquiesce myself with it again. ![]() It was indeed different than the 4-Hour Body approach.īut I always kept a special place in my heart for that book. ![]() ![]() I began carb cycling - with a higher protein intake.Ĭheat days every week stalled my progress, so I reduced the frequency of diet escapades. I realized I had stopped following Tim Ferriss’ advice altogether.īut now - in order to go forward - I needed other tools. In fact, with all the experiments, and small changes here and there… I stopped feeling sore all the time (thank God).Īnd I lost more weight, and gained more muscle. I ditched all the other sports (which I hated, and only did because I felt it was needed to lose weight). I started lifting heavy, but less often (goodbye ABCDE bodybuilder splits. I began following a more low-carb (and even ketogenic) approach. Hell, I even started writing about it in my own blog (in Portuguese). My transformation with the Slow Carb diet was the tipping pointįast forward a few months, I had lost over 30 pounds with the Slow-carb diet, and became obsessed about healthy eating.Īfter all - how could everything I had learned so far be so wrong? Week.īut hey, at least it seemed like more fun than I was having. No need to feel hungry - eat until you’re satiated. In the first weeks doing this crazy regimen, I lost about 6 pounds.Īnd I was surprised to see that the advice contained was the exact opposite of everything I had tried. So I started killing myself with diet (eating whole grains every 2–3 hours, and feeling hungry most of my waking hours), and exercise (over 2 hours per day, and just hating it). I always thought that the success hadn’t come because of my “lack of time”. ![]() How could something seemingly so simple (“calories in, calories out”) be so hard? I was not obese, but simply had never had success in leaning out. When it all beganĪnd I was overweight, and unhappy, and had just moved to a new country. Not because it has the most scientific-based approaches (it doesn’t) nor because it is “the last book you’ll ever need to read about diet”.īut because it found me in a particular time and place - it was the right book at the right time. This is the book that changed it all for me. After over 5 years since I first read this book, I felt it was time to revisit it.
