With summer around the corner it’s time to bro up and show off that six pack. For most guys, losing an extra 20lbs is the difference between washboard abs and carrying around a 12-pack.
First, let’s destroy one fitness myth before getting started:
No amount of exercise makes up for a shitty diet
You can crush weights 6 days a week, run 3 miles a day, or swim the English Channel – but if you eat Big Mac’s every day, you’re not going to lose the weight. 90% of weight loss is dieting and that’s life.
I recently read Tim Ferriss’s new book “The 4-Hour Body” – which is a body hack guide to weight loss, building muscle, incredible sex, and sound sleep.
Tim Ferriss is an animal. He is not a doctor, just a highly methodical explorer who has run countless fitness experiments on his body. In 28 days he gained 34lbs of muscle, lost 3lbs of fat, and reduced his body fat by 4.49% – an impressive feat by any man.
Over the next month I am putting Tim Ferriss’s “Slow Carb Diet” to the test. Below I will explain my diet, my expected weight loss, and total gym time.
