Anyone doing 4 hour body?

Define "high calorie intake" then contrast that number with the number of calories burned. What you are claiming is energy created from nothing ... a violation of scientific law.0

Did they have a lot of weight to lose? Because that's the only way I can see someone dropping weight at 2000+ calories because they were eating more than that to begin with. Also, did you see them weigh every morsel of food and evaluate their diaries everyday?cinthyaclarke wrote: »I did not have success on low carb, none what-so-ever, but both my aunt and my sister had great results. I envied their diaries of steak and bacon and 2000+ calories with minimal activity, but I watched them both drop a lot of weight. I wish my body operated the same way, but it didn't. My friend and I, similar size and weight, went on the same low-cal diet and she dropped 20 pounds. I did not. Different things work for different bodies.0 -

No it does not because science. CICO rules supreme.0 -

That would be...messy.0 -
I think I still have that book buried somewhere. I should dust it off for the lolz.
There was one, and only one, point in that book that stuck with me as valid: that there is are effective levels of activity and nutrients and exceeding those levels produce diminishing (and sometimes counterproductive) returns. Ferriss has built an enviable fortune selling from his blog and books, so there's that.

There's science and then there's anecdote. Anecdotes unfortunately aren't a reliable way to prove what you say is correct. Do you watch them 24 hours a day to see how much they eat and what physical activity they may do? If not, then you may just be relying on what you personally have seen AT THE MOMENT. That's not the same as having a controlled setting where measurements are made and scientific method is implemented to come to a conclusion.cinthyaclarke wrote: »I have physically seen it done with a low carb, high calorie intake, but since that's clearly impossible as it clashes with your experience and what you've learned, obviously I'm wrong.

Sorry, but not buying it. Unless it's water weight, you CANNOT lose weight (reduce mass) unless you're in a calorie deficit. That's just how physiology works.cinthyaclarke wrote: »That's not true for me. I cannot lose weight on reduced calories. Tried SO many times. Ate little and worked out like crazy. Nothing.

It doesn't because science. You need to open your diary to prove it.
Hey friends, you're probably trying to help and it's appreciated and since you saw the headline of this thread, it was your choice to enter. That said, be polite! Don't call out someone here and ridicule her and tell her she needs to prove s**t to you! Can see this topic is subject to debate. He question is, can you do so with decorum?1 -

Know how you feel! I've tried a zillion different diets and programs and have had zero success. I actually broke a year's "gaining" pattern FINALLY with 4 Hour Diet. It's easy to stick to and makes you think about your body in a way that doesn't focus on calories, being fat, or other body-shaming ideas. And glad you like it and it's working for you! Please don't feel you have to justify it to people on any thread who are rudely telling you to prove it!0 -
Tell me, do you follow this diet to the tea? The cold water plunge?0

It truly is a shame that you consider noting fallacies and statements that counter science as "rudely telling you to prove it". Of course, that is exactly why the diet industry is a multi-billion dollar industry ... people would rather try "a zillion different diets and programs" than apply simple, basic scientifically sound principles to the issue at hand.0 -

Dude. Just asking everyone to step down, and back off, that's all! This woman is finally losing some weight after trying lots of other things. Kudos! She should be CONGRATULATED not treated like a liar.
And good. Moderators should be an EXAMPLE, they should not be joining a mob of commenters. As a newbie, seeing all those negative comments about what I am doing kind of sucks. Luckily I'm not worried what others think but other people might be.
Just asking everyone to rethink their aggressive style of commenting especially if you want to convince others of your point of view.0 -
So you get to express your point of view but those countering using fact and logic and going point by point are to "step down, and back off"?
People actually eating 800 calories per day lose weight ... especially when exercising. People don't do true HIIT for an hour every day ... it is simply too taxing on multiple systems in the body. CICO is the driving factor in any diet plan, including this one ... if you accept that truth or not does not change that it is the truth.0 -
Let's be honest. Someone who has been suckered into a fad diet isn't going to be convinced they are wrong no matter how nice the messenger. The only thing that's going to change their mind is when they fail. It's sad, but that's the way it goes, and lending a voice of support when you don't understand the concepts being discussed is doing a far worse disservice to the OP than anyone here.carriejglenn wrote: »Dude.

Cinthyaclark- I'm with you- I'm currently reading the book after listening to podcasts interviewing NASA scientist Ray Cronise. Obviously the other replies to your post are from people who have not read the book. Haters gonna hate.
