Review: Just what I needed - There are plenty of varying reviews here so I would like to start by explaining where I'm coming from and what I got out of this book. For a more concise review, skip to the bottom. I am the type of person who needs to find the 'perfect' solutions to my issues, weight having been one of them. I need A LOT of research before starting anything. I have read all of the 'popular' weight loss and fitness books and articles, and then moved to the obscure and 'cutting edge' ones. All of this research and I have come to one conclusion. This industry can come to absolutely no consensus about anything. Want to reduce body-fat but not bulk up? Book A says 'heavy-weight, low rep" and book B says 'light-weight, high rep.' You log onto any of the fitness forums and all you see is people arguing back and forth over the 'best' way to do things. Whole Wheat, No Wheat, Wheat doesn't matter. Cardio, No Cardio, HIIT only, lifting only. Most of the time they are advocating complete opposite approaches. Add to this the fact that every day there are 'brand new studies' that basically say that everything you thought is wrong, here is what you should be doing. This industry flip-flops back and forth and no subject is universally accepted. This is very apparent in some of the reviews here. Needless to say, I was frustrated. Enter Tim Ferriss and "The 4-Hour Body." I started this book the same way I started all of them. "God, I hope THIS is the right way." It was, but not for the reasons I anticipated. Right from the start you know that your in for something different. His chapters are goal centric, and he recommends skipping to the relevant chapters for what you are looking for. Throughout each of these chapters Tim balances entertaining dialog, background information, key concepts, rules & options. You begin to pick up on an underlying theme to all of the sections - Tim's endorsement of Self-Experimentation or as I have come to refer to the concept: 'Do - Tweak - Do.' It is a mindset of working for a desired result, and adjusting based on your personal results. If a section of this book doesn't apply to you? Throw it out and move on. Find that something works better then something else? Do more of the former and less of the latter. This mindset was the game-changer for me. It has allowed me to really apply all that I can without ever getting frustrated and quitting. I have adapted it to other areas in my life as well. Start toward a goal, continuously observe the outcomes, tweak my game plan to incorporate them, and keep heading toward my goal. Tim gives you great suggestions, some new (to me at least) and others I've heard before. The difference here is that he is able to give you a starting point and a direction. He leads you there as best he can but always subtly stresses that you do as he did - make it work for you. At a minimum, this book prepares you to do all the things it promises. At it's best, it guides you there effortlessly. THE BOTTOM LINE: It's been said before, but the truth bears repeating. There is so much great information packed into this book that if you find value in only ONE chapter, it is worth it. The narrative throughout is refreshing, bringing you from topic to topic. It is a very fun read that leaves you informed and excited about trying the things listed. It can help you identify your goals and gives you a defined game plan for accomplishing them. My Goals? Loose Weight (covered), Reduce Body-Fat (covered), Run Farther (covered), Run Faster (covered). Look through the Table of Contents, if you see something even remotely related to one of your goals - this book is for you.
Review: Helps trainers and commoners alike. - This book is simply amazing. It has rocked my world, and I am never looking back! Simplicitiy: I have eaten twice as much as normal, worked out 1/2 as much as i normally do on my MAINTENANCE routines, and I've experience the best results I've EVER had. I hate diets, yet this one is so easy. The workouts are intense but fun, short and incredibly effective (note - recently a pretty girl in my gym was with her trainer, but when she saw my workout, she said: 'shouldn't I be doing it that way? That looks like an awesome workout.') I was so pumped. Results: I have never met my 6 pack, and i would say i am 2 weeks away, after just over 2 weeks of a combo of slo-carb diet and Geek-to-Freek with 1/2 the portions of supplements that tim used (although i don't think you even need the supplements to get nearly the same impact). I'm down 15 Lbs of fat and put on 3-4 lbs of muscle easy with no cravings and literally 1/2 the gym time of my maintenance(!) routine. Went from 178 to 169 in 3 weeks and you can see a lot more definition - i've been to the gym 6 times, which is the same, if not less, than usual but half the time of a normal workout. I am still working on perfecting the Pose running method, but i have never(!) run that fast with as little effort before - it feels like you are flying. Value: This book is full of so much amazing info, that i photocopied 10 pages to carry with me at all times and those 10 pages are worth 10x what the book cost me. You may not use all of the material in this book (remember Tim spent a decade compiling the info) but so many things i use from it on a daily basis are so easy (cinammon in coffee instead of sugar, ice pack on neck, water with lemon before meals, 60-90 seconds of air squats or pushups before/after meals) are enough to make this book worth 10x the money. And the interaction with the website is so great/fun that it feels like a huge encyclopedia of info, not just a 500 page book that you can't wait to put to use. And recall tim is an effeciency expert, so there's no wasted words here. I only wish i had this book when i was a skinny geek in high school or a fat beer gut guy in college. Conclusion: Follow the book and it will change your world, for $20. To me its worth a fortune in terms of time-saved, effectiveness, knowledge, etc. THANKS, TIM!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Apparently, Tim Ferriss is The Anti-Christ!
*by D***Y on December 18, 2010*

Update II: After 3 months without exercise or supplements I've lost 20 lbs. The weight loss seems to be flat-lining now - which is why I'm about to begin a vigorous exercise regimen in combination with the diet. But again, don't listen to naysayers and people who say something can't be done just cause they've never done it. Update: Doing the Slow Carb diet now for 12 days and already down 10 lbs on the digital scale. Which is amazing because outside of the cooking and prep time for food -- this diet is effortless and definitely doesn't leave your feeling deprived. It really feels like I've lost weight without making some giant sacrifice in portions. Today is my free day so I'm off to get some Cadbury chocolate bars. Don't listen to naysayers - listen to results. Can't wait to try the other stuff out. Original Review: After finally reading the Four Hour Body for myself (as much of the 600 pages total that I plan to read in this first sitting), I intend to write a review that is comprehensive and critical while contending with the claims of other reviewers which I've read here. This is a long review, but the gist of it is that it is imperative for all potential readers to think for themselves! Think for yourselves because too many people are reviewing the author and not this book. Think for yourself because this book cannot be all things to all people; we all have different bodies and different starting levels of both fitness and fitness education - what this book will be to you depends on you. From reading the book, I think it can have tremendous value for a large cross-section of fitness novices and fitness freaks alike; for novices it can be a broad discussion you've never heard of and for fitness freaks it can be one little thing you didn't know before. Let me start off with identifying myself -- because apparently there are some paranoid people who think that every review must either say "this is impossible" or else it is an Indian outsourcer being paid by Tim Ferriss to write it. I am not now nor have I ever been on Tim Ferriss's payroll - and have only met him twice. Once, by chance on the streets of New York for 10 minutes; and recently he had a launch party here in NYC for this book that I attended and exchanged about 40 seconds worth of pleasantries with him. Maybe it is because I have seen the man breathe that I don't feel the need to either deify or demonize him to the extent that others here have. Let me also add that I read his previous book, the The 4-Hour Workweek, Expanded and Updated: Expanded and Updated, With Over 100 New Pages of Cutting-Edge Content. , and have been impressed by his ideas ever since; only because I saw the results I wanted when I tried his methods. I truly wish it was possible to review the Four Hour Body(4HB) without any reference to the Four Hour Work Week (4HWW); but the strong emotions that Ferriss evokes from people who love him and hate him are in large part inspired by that first book. In short the first book was entirely ground-breaking! It advocated that people should work only as little as necessary and get the most done in the time they are working. Ferriss believes many emails/conversations/meetings in a corporate work environment are make-work devices and that some of the hours we spend at work everyday can be safely eliminated or efficiently automated and/or outsourced. He also challenges the idea that we need to work first then retire by introducing the concept of mini-retirements - which is breaking up the idea of a long retirement into distributed periods of rest throughout your life. The Four Hour Workweek is a book title -- but it is not an actual, literal number of work hours that the author is advocating you should work. Yet some people, whose intellectual faculties I hold in contempt, seem to interpret the book as advocating exactly that. These people hate Ferriss, they think he's a snake-oil salesman who is advocating a slacker lifestyle; they say that it's impossible for you to work only 4 hours a week even though Ferriss doesn't advocate that himself; they say society would collapse if everyone only worked four hours; and that no real business that actually adds value to society can function if the owner works only four hours a week. Never mind that my dry cleaner and his wife sometimes go to Korea for 6 months at a time - while his son in law runs the place; apparently their business doesn't provide value. I shamefully admit that I have read the false critiques of Ferriss by these types of people and ignored or even welcomed them because it was good for me. If everyone was on Elance hiring Indian illustrators to create logos (as I have since reading the 4HWW)then the cost of Indian labor on Elance would rise. So if you don't do it because you read a misguided review and were too stupid to think for yourself - then good for me. The 4HB is different however, whether you do it or not doesn't affect me; which is precisely why I think it would be wonderful if everyone tried the advice in this book. So let me transition into a review of 4HB which oddly can be wrapped up in a two paragraphs below. Most of the negative reviews of this book make only a few arguments. Some people bought the book on here so they could make an "Amazon verified purchase" review even though they had no plans to read the book. Their criticism pretty much says "This book is snake-oil - and everything in the book is available elsewhere." This is a highly incoherent criticism because if all the insights in this book are available elsewhere then why isn't it snake-oil when other people say it?!? Most reviewers never address that fundamental flaw in their logic. They also say that certain examples Ferriss talks about in the book are simply *gasp* "impossible." And I maintained an open mind to that claim of his critics as I read the book -- then I came across the section on Michael Phelps (the Olympic swim champ). The section is all about the effect of temperature on weight-loss. Ferriss uses an insight by a NASA scientist to show that cold temperatures can help to activate more rapid weight-loss. This is a huge realization which I have never read anywhere else and which made the book worth the money for me. But the other takeaway from that section for me was the discussion of how many calories Michael Phelps consumes a day - 12,000! If the section had been about Philip Michaels (someone you don't know) then the critics here would have been saying it was impossible; and that no Olympic athlete could consume that many calories without looking like a house and falling out of performance conditioning. Yet because Phelps has been on TV eating his high calorie breakfast - no-one challenges that claim with the "it's impossible" mantra. I can't imagine that Random House Publishing or Tim Ferriss the angel investor & start-up advisor would do the sort of damage to their name that would come from blatant lying. Yet many reviewers here, without any evidence other than their own incredulity, accuse them of just that. His critics here also accuse him of gaming the reviews - because they find it hard to believe that advance copy reviewers (many of whom are Tim Ferriss fans already) would have liked the book and made a review on the first day. And finally his critics here just lie; one said he doesn't address stretching even though there is a discussion on that; another said he mentions lifters' results without mentioning 'steroids' - even though there are four pages just on steroids and pro-abuse of steroids. No-one can write a definitive review of this book without trying out the things Ferriss describes. I've made actual money because I read his first book - not earth-shattering yet but I'm still on the journey. For this book I have my annual physical coming up next week. Then, I'm going to do the Body for Life: 12 Weeks to Mental and Physical Strength 12 week cycle (which I've done before) while on the Slow Carb diet Ferriss talks about. And while on it I will use the Cold Temperatures Ferriss introduced to me in this book. If it works or not I will edit this review to let you know. But I strongly encourage you to do the same - buy the book and try the stuff. At the every least it is an intriguing and informative read that has already provided me with hours of conversation topics.
