The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman
The Minimum Effective Dose
To remove stored fat → do the least necessary to trigger a fat-loss cascade of specific hormones. To add muscle in small or large quantities → do the least necessary to trigger local (specific muscles) and systemic (hormonal) growth mechanisms.
Diet, Drugs, Exercise
Rule #1: It’s not what you put in your mouth that matters, it’s what makes it to your bloodstream. If it passes through, it doesn’t count. Rule #2: The hormonal responses to carbohydrates (CHO), protein, and fat are different.
1. Make it conscious. 2. Make it a game. 3. Make it competitive. 4. Make it small and temporary.
Rule #1: Avoid "White" Carbohydrates. Rule #2: Eat the Same Few Meals over and over Again. Rule #3: Don't Drink Calories. Rule #4: Don't Eat Fruit. Rule #5: Take One Day off Per Week.
Principle #1: Minimize the Release of Insulin, a Storage Hormone.
- Ensure that your first meal of the day is not a binge meal. At least 30 grams protein. High in fiber.
- Consume a small quantity of fructose, fruit sugar, in grapefruit juice before the second meal, which is the first crap meal. Combine the naringin in grapefruit juice with coffee, as it extends the effects of caffeine.
- Use supplements that increase insulin sensitivity: AGG and PAGG.
- Consume citric juices, whether lime juice squeezed into water, lemon juice on food, or a beverage like citrus kombucha.
Principle #2: Increase the Speed of Gastric Emptying, or How Quickly Food Exits the Stomach.
