Any one here read or heard concerning this unique: Growth 247 Formula ? Supposedly it's getting quite popular simply because consumers are actually growing their own height suprisely. Even my own dad grew to 6 feet just by using the treatment. Just google: Growth 247 formula to find out more.
This was fantastic. I have to say that up until I saw this, having read blog posts, seen interviews and so on, I was pretty convinced that Tim Ferriss was simply a conman, trying to sell the easy lie to people that hard work isn't necessary if you want to achieve success. This has changed my mind; he's intelligent, understands how scientific research works, and knows an awful lot about these topics. Also comes across as a great guy in this.
I have listened to the 4hr body CDs and there is a ton of great information!!! One thing I am going to try that he suggests is the PAGG stack for weight loss!! I highly suggest that anyone wanting to change their life n loose weight listen or read the 4hr body!!
Interesting video! by the way my mother applied this famous weight loss diet named: Impact 790 Diet and decreased 16 pounds in a month. I can't remember the exact website just Google it.
"Look for the outliers, study the outliers." Ferriss advocates looking at extremes--like the high school girl who deadlifts a ton--but I wonder how he goes about researching these extreme cases, in any pursuit.
I surprised TIm didn't suggested yellow pea, rice, hemp, sacha inchi or any other plant-based proteins to the woman asking about following the slow carb diet while vegan. Or even things like spirulina, hemp seeds, chlorella? =/
amazing. he's talking all this time with out a piece of paper to guide him and he's remebered all sorts of names, fact, and numbers. i wish he'd do a tissue sample of his brain.
This guy focuses on results, but I miss the spiritual side, the essence of the human being. He basically talks about how to be succesful, but I'm more into how to be in peace with oneself and his/her enviroment.
people will talk with you if they can obtain profit from it, anyone who colaborated in the book achieved national fame the moment that book became a best seller.
i do not think it is a scam. he is right about many things. the only problem is him claiming to gain muslce in short amount of time with minimal workout. that i do not believe. most ppl WILL gain muscle because most people do eat carbs and when you switch to a low carb and are eating high amounts of protein--it is easier for you to gain some muscle along the way.
Wow, he went through a lot but could have saved himself soooo much time if he only followed Charles Poliquin, Louie Simmons, Fred Hatfield and Ian King's training philosophies. Seems everyone has something to sell though. I prefer not trying to reinvent the wheel as these strength coaches I mentioned know more about conditioning athletes correctly than anyone in the world.
I'm sure he embellishes on some of what he claims. As far as changing your protien for breakfast to get out of this world weight loss... Who eats the same thing for breakfast everyday anyway? So what really is a dramatic change if it's never the same?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
What garbage. I stopped paying attention when he said that he managed to gain like 30 something pounds of muscle in a month. If he was able to truly gain that much in 1 month then why does this guy look average for someone who can pack on muscle that fast. I know juiceheads that are eating 5-6k calories a day and don't gain half that in that time period. Please don't listen to this guy or buy his garbage book.
@avittix Hi Mate, I can understand where you'r coming from, and can relate to it. Many things he has to say sound incredible and similar to a lot of garbage that can be found everywhere. And here is why I do pay attention to what he says: he is a practical experimenter and puts to the test everything he talked about, and furthermore, he gives credit where it is due. Just after the contents in the book there is a page listing 76 people that he consulted for the contents of the book.
@avittix Additionally in the video, around the 42 minute he says again that he's not the expert here. He's very humble but very effective, and to me credible. Thank you.
The guy comes off as trying to be confident in what he's talking about. I have been suckered in by people before who play the role coming off as confident and well educated. This guy would be a monster if he was capable of putting on over 30lb of muscle in a month. Anyone can gain 30lb in a month but gaining 30lb of pure muscle? Sure sounds credible. I would love to see even a newbie lifter lower bf by 4% and gain 30lb of solid muscle in a month. People need t take off blinders
@avittix I agree with you with the image he's presenting. I have followed him for the past three years ever since I read his four hour work week book (I know...) and he posted this experiment on his blog long ago. What he's saying is not gaining 30lbs per month on and on, but simply reaching our genetic potential with the least amount of work and time. He didn't come up with it. There have been such experiments done in the late seventies apparently. He simply repeated the experiment.
@petklawi and it definately is. I just finished 3 weeks and of course I stopped counting daily calories but have 'checked in' just to see how many i am eating on average. I eat as much as I want yet I am eating fewer calories than I was when I was fighting to keep calories down with calorie counting.....3 weeks ago I had a 40W pants size and next week I should fit into 36W. My new 38W are already not fitting me straight out of the dryer.
Is Tim Ferriss a self-promoter, yes. Does he come off as a bit of a douche because he talks about himself constantly? Not to me, but I can certainly understand the sentiment. I'm glad that he is so "self-interested", because otherwise he never would have put himself through all of this experimentation to come up with this "Pareto" based fitness. I'm following the book, and have so far lost 20 pounds of body weight (while adding muscle) since mid-December, with the diet and minimal exercise.
@joshewaboi1 his book talks about not calorie counting but did you find that you were not eating a great deal of calories (not including the binge day) while losing the 20 pounds? Thanks.
No comprendo about all the backlash. He is only saying these things worked for him. Fact is he has accomplished extraordinary things: speaking many languages fluently, building hugely lucrative businesses, mastering martial arts, winning national dance competitions, as well as having a best selling book and making himself famous (nothing wrong with that). He gets shit done. How is that a fraud? How can you not be inspired?
@notevenhere well if you ignore the fake online reviews, the spamming, the total fakeness of his empire, it's pretty easy to point out that he started out as an opportunist and used his success to position himself in a more favorable light. The reason he's resented is that he's basically using important subjects as bait to get himself attention when other people deserve the attention more.
@InnerSmile72 uhhh...like 95% of everybody in every field??? Geees. Tim has a lot of good infomation and he does not claim to develop it all. Seems like any time somebody mixes what they know with what others know, there is some pissed off key tapper in the shadows that just cannot stand it. If Tim only inspired people to think(which he exceeds)then it would be enough. As I doubt you willl stop and think about some of the bad things you will do to yourself today...by rote.
@shoegooguru 95% of everyone spams blog comments and posts fake reviews on Amazon? I don't think you get the point, it's not the fact that he's mixing what he knows with what others know, it's that he's not doing a very good job of it, and he's not being 100% up front about what he's saying either. You can't deny that! So what he inspires people, other people are doing a better job without all of the bs on top, if you enjoy the bs, all the power to you.
listen to 48:00 to 50:00. the guy stumped him. He comes up with all these bullshit n=1 anecdotes in response eg "I know 1 lady who..." (so I must be right) and "I know one person who..." (yes I'm right gain). This is rubbish.
@rationalperspective everyone i know who is following his stuff is getting unprecedented results for them. On monday I will go buy new 36W pants because my new 38W pants that I just bought because my 40W pants I normally wear dont fit. 3 weeks! This is coming off of low calorie dieting that is lowish carb. Havent weighed myself in a week but after week two I was down 10 pounds and had gained muscle during that time from working out.
Excited about your ultramarathon, Tim! Planning to do so myself within a few months (the most I've run has been around 5k) and am keeping track of the progress! Can't wait to share the results!!
Tim, thanks for sharing your thoughts more broadly. Appreciate the lens with which you approach your health (from my sense, a playful experimenter). I read the book cover to cover for both the interesting ideas to tweak as well as to learn from your prose. I'm personally interested in a similar 'tweaking' approach to the mind and serving others - exploring the extremes of mental conditioning for the purpose of service work (e.g., marathon monks) - your experiences helped me there. thanks :)
@mednos 4 hour work week had working title "Drug Dealing for Fun and Profit" , but publishers suggested change. I'm sure he'd come with much better title
What the hell Google? You're promoting a guy that recommends binging and liquid diet? A regurgitation of old (and ineffective and stupid woo-woo claims) diet industry bad science? Really? Really?
@highlander2107 I do find it incredible that the same old bs can be sold thousands of times only by giving it a nice new cover. And this over and over again. And yet somehow people give people like this money for the same bs they could find and read in 10 minutes on the internet.
Also did you also develop some psychic abilities in those 4 hours, that you know that I never read that damn book?
@emptyglimpse It does look like a goldmine of ideas, that's for sure. Best book on weight loss I've found since I discovered the YOU books by Drs. Mehmet Oz and Michael Roizen. That was almost five years ago... and this some new stuff I've never heard of.
