5.0 out of 5 stars
A revelation,

This review is from: The 4-Hour Body: An uncommon guide to rapid fat-loss, incredible sex and becoming superhuman: The Secrets and Science of Rapid Body Transformation (Paperback)
I bought this book on recommendation from a friend who had experimented with a few chapters from the book with great results. The book is a collection of experiments and research that the author has completed over the past ten years on the human body. Much of it challanges regular thinking and explores doing things easier or smarter. The key difference with this book is it's not a back to front read, instead it is more a 'pick a chapter and have a go'. Some chapters will appeal, others may not.I particularly liked the Chapter on slow carb dieting, this is really working for me right now and isn't much of a challange. The Kettlebell swings section is also really cool and there are also a couple of other fun chapters on Sleep and sex which are fun. The overall vibe of the book is to have a go and see what works for you, the book doesn't take itself too seriously but it is based on science, research and a better understanding of how the body works without boring you to tears. So if you are looking to make some tweaks and changes to your lifestyle to get fitter and healthier but you aren't quite ready to overhaul your way of life for a six pack then this is for you. You'll see results quickly in any area you decide to pick up on and you won't have to wade through 400 pages of theory before you get there. 30 minutes and you'll be taking content away and using it. Losing fat Gaining muscle Improving sex Improving quality of sleep getting a six pack Controlling body using temperature ... and more. Like i say not every chapter will float your boat but they are all independent and don't form part of an overall regime. Fun, digestible, manageable, readable, informative and just plain better than every other book I've read on the body. It's all about results and getting them fast.

The best ever guide - to hacking your body and and self marketing,

This review is from: The 4-Hour Body: An uncommon guide to rapid fat-loss, incredible sex and becoming superhuman: The Secrets and Science of Rapid Body Transformation (Paperback)
Ferris throws together a wide ranging and somewhat disparate ensemble of topics and offers some interesting insights into them all. Unfortunately he does so with incredible hypocracy. Scoffing at poor science he proceeds to offer anecdotal evidence for many of his claims and adopts a inconsistent approach to referencing.Each chapter is a small essay on a different topic, and each jumps between narrative, product endorsement, unreferenced fact, and often, some very insightful ideas and jumping-off points on the subject. As an introduction to the numerous topics, this book represents a great starting point for further research, and goes further than that in many places. More importantly, Ferris recognises the importance of what some teachers call "cues". Not necessarily focusing on telling you the facts, but rather what you need to hear to get results. In my opinion he frequently hits on very effective techniques that work. Perhaps my biggest issues with the book are that firstly the chapters are hard to follow as serious advice darting as they do between ideas, and secondly often it reads more like the hype and marketing bumf he purports throughout to eschew. It's often less a "how to improve yourself" than a "how to make a lot of money from selling a book to suckers". I'd give this book more stars for its smattering of insightful gems if only I hadn't been made to feel like a sucker!

This review is from: The 4-Hour Body: An uncommon guide to rapid fat-loss, incredible sex and becoming superhuman: The Secrets and Science of Rapid Body Transformation (Paperback)
I have been 4-5 stone overweight for the last 7 years since the worsening of mobility problems following a car accident. No diet worked for long due to multiple food intolerances, lack of ability to exercise, living under extreme stress and lots of other excuses.I read this big brick of a book in a few days, devoured it like I used to devour carbs. Tim's advice to add beans and lentils to protein meals is the reason I can actually do this way of eating. Before, when I tried higher protein diets, I experienced such side-effects, such as headaches, fatigue and low mood, that I couldn't continue. I am losing 5-6lbs a week, feeling great and am experiencing a sensation of confidence and well-being that I haven't had since I was 10 years old running down a big hill with a backwind behind me. The eating plan is only one part of the book, though. I've also discovered that I can manage some of the exercises Tim recommends (sitting down for me but still very effective) and that lots of expensive equipment isn't necessary. I'm dropping pounds quickly and easily using a piece of equipment I picked up in Argos for under £15. I skipped one of the chapters (on how to have a better sex life), but my emerging hour-glass figure may mean that I'll have cause to return to it one day! One odd thing is that I am losing the most weight from my middle - I've got a waist again! I don't know if that happens to everyone but it's lovely. The only problem was that it took a while to start going from my hips so my apple shape turned into a pear for a while. Now I'm looking a bit more like Nigella before she discovered how to cook. Can't recommend this book highly enough. As a vegetarian, I particularly appreciated the section at the end on how vegetarians/vegans could implement the plan. I've now started his other book, the 4-Hours Work Week.
