The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman

“Do” the Book — Take 3 min and read my review, I’ll tell you why
Okay,First, let’s talk about reviews. If you read 3 negative or 3 positive reviews about one book, movie, car, whatever and base your decision to move forward on that without taking into account the rest of the reviewers then you’ll probably get what you want based on what you perceive. If you tend to favor positive reviews on things you’ll probably trend positively; same goes for negative reviews. EVERYONE has an opinion. Often, those opinions are incredibly, emotionally powerful–one way or the other.I’m giving Tim’s book full stars. The reasons are simple… The author is crystal clear about asking us, his readers, to experiment, to try for a short period of time his method and to track the changes. Face it, we’re all where we are because of steps we made yesterday.I’m 47 years old and while not in terrible shape neither can I say that I’m in good shape. Clothes hide the effects of the steps I made daily to get… here. So I started reading and was instructed by this author to focus on 4 chapters: Fundamentals, Ground Zero, The Slow-Carb Diet I and II, and Building the Perfect Posterior. Those chapters focus on effective weight loss. Sure I read the rest of the book, four times through now, and can see how some have gotten confused by what might appear conflicting information.But again, he breaks out what to read for what you’re looking for: Fat loss, muscle gain, strength gain, or sense of total well-being. Most of us would think, “Well, I want all that!” So, we dive in and try to do it all.Stop!Re-read his Five Rules in using the book:1. Think of this book as a buffet.2. Skip the Science if it’s too dense.3. Please be skeptical.4. Don’t use skepticism as an excuse for inaction.5. Enjoy it.For me, my first priority is getting rid of fat. Then I’ll look at muscle gain, then strength gain, then well-being. How’s it worked so far? Actually, extremely well! I started at 200 pounds with a target of 170. My focus has been only on those four “Fat Loss” chapters. I started 3 weeks ago and am at 185. I’ve had some ups and downs with the eating plan and can clearly see why. I’ll share more on that shortly.In addition to reading the book several times through I’ve also spent a lot of time on his blog. Please, please remember folks… This author is asking us to step out of what we’ve been doing in the past and try something different. On the surface that sounds easy. But it isn’t. Most of the posts I’ve read basically ask “permission” to step out of the guidelines he’s asking of us: Can I have bread if it’s healthy? Can I have juice if it’s organic? Can I, can I, can I?Sure you can! But then what you’re doing is the same you’ve done yesterday, and the day before, etc. And I’ve done it too. Better yet, it’s okay. But it won’t result in change. Most of us pick up a book like this because we want change. We would like to look a little better, feel a little better, and have the ability to do more with our families and friends. Great reasons for change! But remember, CHANGE IS HARD. Remember that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over again while expecting different results. We all do it, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do things differently.Tim has made this process easy for us. How about for 2 months, just 8 weeks trying this: (Note: he’s asking just 1 month. I’m asking to try for 2.)Avoid “white” carbohydratesEat the same few meals over and over againDon’t drink caloriesDon’t eat fruitTake one day off per weekThat’s it! But… the hard part: Our brain is already gearing up to bargain with us… “But I can’t start my day without my healthy cereal.” “I get bored with the same meals.” “But I have to have my Coke Zero.” “My doctor says that fruit is healthy.” (Note, most of us don’t gripe about the taking one day off part.)This author has shared through example and humor how HE has created change in his life. (You might also like his, “Four Hour Work Week.”) But he’s also been clear that it takes work, focus, and the importance of measuring and managing as we go.For me, yeah this has been hard. I messed up on my “cheat day” and didn’t follow his suggestions on how to best (and easily) care for myself on that day. I was surprised that I gained back more than I lost. BUT, I began again and quickly reversed that trend. Walk through the few chapters he offers you to focus on what you are most trying to do. Don’t make it hard.My g/f is walking through this with me and it took her a while before she started seeing results. It really helped to read that is VERY normal for a woman over 40 who’s had children to see quick change right off the bat. Don’t give up. Keep trying. She is also seeing movement in the direction she’s hoping for.Take measurements. Take photos. If you see you’re not losing weight go back and see if you’ve lost inches or body fat. If not, DO NOT stop. It’s too easy to stop, we’ve all been doing that all our lives. Trying one thing for a short amount of time and then sliding back into our comfortable habits. Instead of trying how about doing?Yoda reminds us that there is no “Try,” there is only “Do.” Do these steps. Live them for a while. Put them on and see how they fit. Yes they are different than what you’ve been doing. Yes it will be tough. But each moment of each day you will be doing the steps of your life.I know this review has been long. But I also feel that this is very, very important. It’s important for me to quit feeling run down, out of energy in the afternoon, having crappy sleep, etc. It’s important for me to feel good in my body, that my partner finds me attractive, more importantly that I find me attractive. I LOVE being 47 and can’t wait for my 50s! But I want that decade to be different than this one.These steps really do work. This is a great book and I’m grateful for the time Tim put into it. There will ALWAYS be negative comments about anything you might be interested in. This isn’t a fad, it’s not a scheme, and it’s not a quick fix.I am not connected to Tim in anyway other than being an interested, thankful reader. Take my comments as just that, my comments. All the best to you and yours in this Journey!ZaneRemember too: If you want tomorrow to be different than today, then you must take different steps today than you did yesterday. It really is as easy as that.
