When is the last time you read a diet book that told you to binge eat or get less sleep? How about a weight loss program that included ice baths and cold showers? How about a fitness book that told you to work out less? These ideas may seem absurd, but they are all part of the weight loss plan that Timothy Ferriss explains in his book, The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman.
Weight Loss Advice Based on Self-experimentation
The 4-Hour Body isn't a diet book, a weight loss book or a fitness book. As Ferriss states, it's a book about “lifestyle experimentation.” Ferriss spent 10 years and $250,000 performing his own personal experiments on food, exercise, sex, sleep, supplementation and more. He learned some weight loss tips along the way.
He found a way to be able to enjoy a cheat day without gaining weight. He found a way to get less than two hours of sleep, yet feel more refreshed. He found a way to have better, more-fulfilling sex. He found a way to increase insulin sensitivity.
