The 4-Hour Body is the result of an obsessive quest, spanning more than a decade, to hack the human body. It contains the collective wisdom of hundreds of elite athletes, dozens of MDs, and thousands of hours of jaw-dropping personal experimentation. From Olympic training centers to black-market laboratories, from Silicon Valley to South Africa, Tim Ferriss, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The 4-Hour Workweek, fixated on one life-changing question: For all things physical, what are the tiniest changes that produce the biggest results?

Interesting video! by the way my mother applied this famous weight loss diet named: Impact 790 Diet and decreased 16 pounds in a month. I can’t remember the exact website just Google it.
dos equis was wrong – Tim Ferriss is the most interesting man in the world
too bad he’s not an M.D. or scientist by training. It would add some credibility to his work.
15 minutes in, and I still don’t know what he is talking about…
“Look for the outliers, study the outliers.” Ferriss advocates looking at extremes–like the high school girl who deadlifts a ton–but I wonder how he goes about researching these extreme cases, in any pursuit.
When he says no soy, does that include soy beans as well?
I surprised TIm didn’t suggested yellow pea, rice, hemp, sacha inchi or any other plant-based proteins to the woman asking about following the slow carb diet while vegan. Or even things like spirulina, hemp seeds, chlorella? =/
amazing. he’s talking all this time with out a piece of paper to guide him and he’s remebered all sorts of names, fact, and numbers. i wish he’d do a tissue sample of his brain.
lentils combat breast cancer more than anything else. just a side note. i can’t wait to read this book.
This guy focuses on results, but I miss the spiritual side, the essence of the human being. He basically talks about how to be succesful, but I’m more into how to be in peace with oneself and his/her enviroment.
Ouch, he shouldn’t have mentioned the iPhone… but an Android Phone instead… I mean, its @ google D
so how many google employees went out and started his program? humm
@trainerman1 you are soo right!
Check this video /watch?v=f-AyJycW4gM
people will talk with you if they can obtain profit from it, anyone who colaborated in the book achieved national fame the moment that book became a best seller.
i do not think it is a scam. he is right about many things. the only problem is him claiming to gain muslce in short amount of time with minimal workout. that i do not believe. most ppl WILL gain muscle because most people do eat carbs and when you switch to a low carb and are eating high amounts of protein–it is easier for you to gain some muscle along the way.
one thing that makes me wonder is how tim manages to get appointments and meetings with all these professors and intelligent people in their fields?
her must have some mad research and tracking skills
I searched for “Frog on his clit face” and this was the only result.
Wow, he went through a lot but could have saved himself soooo much time if he only followed Charles Poliquin, Louie Simmons, Fred Hatfield and Ian King’s training philosophies. Seems everyone has something to sell though. I prefer not trying to reinvent the wheel as these strength coaches I mentioned know more about conditioning athletes correctly than anyone in the world.
I search for “Simpsons theme on strange instrument” and I see this?!
I’m sure he embellishes on some of what he claims. As far as changing your protien for breakfast to get out of this world weight loss… Who eats the same thing for breakfast everyday anyway? So what really is a dramatic change if it’s never the same?
Too late for Minoxidil!
Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing some research on that. And he actually bought me lunch as I found it for him smile Therefore let me rephrase that: Thank you for lunch!
Damn wonderful insight you got on this site. thanks
very nice post, i definitely love this web site, carry on it
