4-Hour Body, The

This is an amazing book by Tim Ferriss. I read this book after an injury in the back. It changed my life. I applied some of the stuff explained in the book and it worked great. My workouts got better and health improved. The chapter on weight loss is awesome. I definitely recommend this to people who are into a healthy lifestyle and fitness.

I have received this large book only recently and have not gone through it fully. Most of what it says agrees with my opinion formed after about fifty years of regular and daily physical exercise. Mr. Tim Ferris has done a great job of debunking many of the present day ideas about fitness and diet. I have been practicing his prescription about sleep for several years now. A twenty minute after-lunch nap suffices for me to sleep about four and a half to five hours at night. I have added the balancing exercises to my routine. I have reduced the grains and cereals in my diet and added legumes, beans and green vegetables to it. I am feeling the difference, but yet to see it. It is great book, yet I have not formed the final opinion.

The 4-Hour Body by Tim Ferriss is an experimental guide to hacking fitness, diet, and performance. While much of the book focuses on rapid fat loss, muscle gain, and unconventional health experiments, its dietary approach leans heavily on the “Slow-Carb Diet,” which emphasizes protein-heavy meals—making it challenging for a vegetarian who eats only two meals a day.For a vegetarian woman following a two-meal-a-day routine, the book offers some useful insights on meal timing, metabolic efficiency, and lifestyle tweaks. However, many of its high-protein recommendations center around meat and eggs, requiring adaptations for plant-based eaters. It does provide valuable takeaways on minimalist workouts, cold exposure, and sleep optimization, but its effectiveness depends on how well one can modify its principles to fit a vegetarian lifestyle.

This book has really changed my attitude towards maintaining my body.I am 58 years old and this book has motivated me to take care of my body in a scientific way.Very very practical guide

The book is undoubtedly the best books ever. So no point of feed-backing the book.I'd rather feedback Amazon here. I was expecting bookmarks with books but none was given. The book was also not covered, which gave the feel as if it is used.

Very Large Information. May be less.

Great book. Helped me a lot in understanding my body better. Ofcourse lost a lot of weight as well.

Take your time to read it.It can be an overdose of information if you read it in one god. Like the author suggests, read the parts you need to. But do read the whole thing to get a better understanding of how to maximise the most from everydaylife.
