in Introduce Yourself
I'm looking to connect with anyone who is using the 4 hour body/slow carb diet. I'm one week in and feeling great! Down 8 pounds in just the last week, and though I know it's not supposed to be good to lose weight this fast, I am eating so healthfully, so I figure all must be good. Tomorrow is my first cheat day and I'd love to hear cheat day tips from those of you who have been doing this for awhile. I want to do as much damage control as I can, as I certainly don't want to go backwards much! Feel free to add me as a friend :)

    I don't have advice for you, as today is my first day on the 4 hour body plan. I'm just wondering what meal/snack ideas you have. Did you eat every 4hrs? Looking for real life advice! Thanks!!

    I started the 4 hour body just yesterday, and it s way more food than I am used to. If this works, it will be amazing. Keeping my fingers crossed, because it seems like something I can easily stick to (especially with the cheat day). How did you manage the cheat day?

    Tim Ferris is a snake oil salesman. All you're learning about is calorie deficit in his "specialized" program. Sorry, but I call it like it is being in this industry for over 30 years.
    Not to disrespect to those who want to continue to use his program, but for those who are curious, there are MUCH better programs to learn for no cost at all and are much more sustainable.

    You pretty much eat the same stuff every day 6 days a wk. Meat, beans, veg, then the 7th day you eat whatever. My brother's friend lost 120-130lbs on it. I'm skeptical cuz I feel like I would gain a weeks worth of loss in that 1 day. The dude claims that it prevents your metabolism from slowing down. idk? I'm thinking about buying his book but I found the basic rundown on this site:
