The 4-Hour Body. An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Weight Loss, Incredible Sex and Becoming Superhuman.

I just got an advance copy of The 4-Hour Body by Tim Ferris (4HB). His previous book was the 4 Hour Work Week (4HWW) which was a NY Times best seller and translated in to I forget how many different languages.  Holy Toledo Batman, this is going to be a GIANT seller. It just has "it". Superhuman sales you say?

It is an uncommon guide to rapid fat loss, incredible sex and becoming super human. So he's touched on all the hot subjects. But it's not what you think. And just like Tim himself, unlike anything I've ever read. He is a self proclaimed guinea pig. And, well, I am, too. Who do you think is the first one to try supplements I post on this site? Although I do not profess to be anywhere close to the guinea pig Ferriss is.

The 4-Hour Body is just flat out fascinating

I have not gotten but 25% of my way through the book and I've had it only 24 hours. It's not a skinny book. It is utterly fascinating and it was all I could do to put it down. There is a section in there where he details how one man lost a lot of weight by using cold. I've always been interested in cold therapy from pain management to the ice baths you take after a long endurance run.

He gives you details of how you can reduce body fat and increase muscle actually reducing the NUMBER of fat cells. I take garlic every day and there is a great deal of information on what that can do for you beyond my years of research.

It's not a "diet book". It's a turn science-on-its head book. And while some claim Tim is an egomaniac, I would disagree. He's just got an absolutely insatiable curiosity which is what fuels this book. It's that passion that also makes it so fascinating. For a curiosity seeker like me, it's like a natural high. If you love a good science experiment, this one is packed. I predict that it will outdo his previous book and take the world and internet by storm.

Release Date is December 15, 2010. And we'll publish a full blown review here once I finish. Which given my pace right now might be tomorrow!
