Expert reviews: Timothy Ferrisss 4-hour body

Lose 20 pounds of fat in 30 days (no exercise)? Achieve orgasm 15 minutes?

All this and more is not only possible, it is likely, says Tim Ferriss, author of the bestselling, 4-hour body: an unusual guide rapid fat-loss, incredible sex, and always superhuman.

Covers in his book, Ferriss, nutrition, sleep (what on six 20-minute NAP in the day as opposed to 8 straight hours sleep), exercise, sex, and the advantages of medical tourism or tests or treatment outside the United States

Is there scientific evidence for some of outlandish, Ferriss's 500-plus page book to support the outrageous claims?

Tim Ferriss is not a doctor, nutritionist or scientists. He is a 33-year old author and blogger. He served as his own Guinea pig since high school, to develop the program, which, in his new book details. He many of his ideas from a panel of experts, including athletes, and academics, and calls for people to see their physician before proceeding to the following any of his advice.

The premise of the book is simple: less is more, and small, simple changes cause long-term effects. "There is 0 (zero) room for misunderstandings and visible results force you continue" Ferriss writes in his book. "If results are fast and measurable, not self-discipline is required."

How quick and measurable? How about 20 pounds in 30 days without exercise? Ferriss the "slow CARB" diet promises just that.

The rules are simple (and probably familiar, who, a low-carb tried diet): avoid white bread, white rice, potatoes and other white carbohydrates.

Ferriss says no to whole grains and steel cut oats, that are often sold as healthy carbohydrates due to their high fiber content. His rapid weight loss plan prohibits all fruit and dairy products (except cottage cheese) and includes a "Eat Day" each week. Cottage cheese fat loss, in contrast to other dairy products, accelerated, so it slows down, Ferriss writes.

Ferriss suggests the same small eating meals, over and over and over again.

He warns against your calories allowed drink two glasses of red wine per night (preferably a dry Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot) "red wine is by no means required, for this diet works, but it is allowed 100% (unlike white wine and beer, both which should be avoided)," he writes.

Is this diet makes sense?

"A good thing to do, is to avoid the whole concept of white carbohydrates, which quickly turn into sugar" James p. says Nicolai, MD, Medical Director of the Wellness Andrew Weil, m.d.-integrative, Miraval Arizona Resort & Spa in Tucson, Arizona

Also "it may be helpful to eat the same meals per day, because you don't have to think about eating, unlike" I'm truly hungry and not to eat, "says Nicolai. The latter allows you to make vandaa unhealthy eating habits.
