Hi Sheila.
I am having great success on a slightly modified version of Tim Ferriss' diet. I followed it strictly for 2 months, but have since found I feel better with fewer legumes, and a whole lot more variety in what I eat.
But the principles really do work. For me, dairy was a big problem since I could snack on cheese all day. Two months of going cold turkey with regards to my favorite mature cheddar broke the habit and now I can enjoy a little without going mad and piling on the pounds again.
The best thing about the slow carb diet personally was the idea of a cheat day. I know many would disagree, but knowing all week that if I really wanted something I could have it on a Saturday kept me completely on track all week. Admittedly the first few Saturdays saw me and hubby completely over-indulging. But now that we are used to a less bloated low carb diet all week, we don't really eat that much "naughty" stuff on the weekend now (it is still very nice to know you are allowed to though!).
I was pretty sceptical because Tim does seem to spend far too much time analysing his body in every which way. But after the first week, my body shape had changed (the tape measure proved it) even if my weight was the same!
The 4 hour body isn't for everyone, but it does work and if you have a lot of weight to lose I think the results would be even more impressive.
Just my two cents!
