The 4-Hr. Body - Thoughts?

gdb86

Hi MFPs!

I had a session with my Personal Trainer yesterday and we were discussing different techniques and what not and the book "The 4-Hour Body" by Timothy Ferriss came up. He mentioned that I should read it to see his take on weight loss/nutrition.

So, I went to the bookstore yesterday and skimmed it (or rather stayed at the store for an extra hour to read about 50 pages of a 400 something page book - haha) and I'm not sure how I feel about his advice. It seemed like it is the opposite of what everyone hears and made me feel strange about calorie counting even though I know it works for me.

I was wondering if anyone has read it and how you feel about it. I did only skim (which he actually suggests to skip around) but someone who has applied it to their life would probably know better than me if there is quality advice to take from it and I'm curious what that is and just general what the MFP community thinks!

Okay, I'm done ranting... it's time for you to rant - Ready... go!
