Great read. I found the book really informative. Not too sure what some of the other reviewers are on about. If you want to lose weight you need to follow the key elements in this book and change your life style.

After reading the 4 hour workweek, I became a fan of Tim's, but was disappointed by this book. In the 4 hour workweek, Tim recommends a low information diet, lots of outsourcing, and being perceived as an expert rather than becoming one. I feel like this book is a result of these techniques.
In one section of the book, Tim tells you to avoid milk, and in another section he recommends milk. The different sections are directed towards different goals, however, so that's forgiveable, and I only mention it in the context of a book with altogether too many such inconsistencies. For example, in one section of the book, Tim says that a cold shower will wake you up like a foghorn, and in another section says that it will put you to sleep like an elephant tranquilliser. These are two very distinct experiences of a cold shower, which makes me question whether a) two different people wrote each section, or b) whether a single author with a gift for metaphor wrote both sections but has never actually had a cold shower.
In the end I put the book down when Tim said that one of the most significant technologies for reversing/preventing injuries was Vibram FiveFinger shoes, which have since become involved in a class action lawsuit as a result of their falsely advertised benefits.
A lot of what Tim recommends appears to have been plucked from mainstream/conventional "wisdom", much of which is disputed by experts. That, along with the numerous contradictions within the book, unaccompanied by any sort of explanation or even acknowledgement that the contradictions exist, made it very hard for me to take the book seriously or have any faith that the information Tim presented which I hadn't heard before had any actual value.
Your time (and money) would be better spent finding books written by actual experts in their fields. The Ultimate Diet 2.0 by Lyle McDonald springs to mind as a very well researched and explained prescriptive book on nutrition and body recomposition, written by an world class nutritionist: the kind of book you can take seriously.

Do the minimum required to get the result you want, not the maximum possible. I'm now experimenting with many of the ideas in this book, and it's interesting what works, and doesn't work.

I love a lot of Tim Ferriss' work, but I don't think this is a good book. In fact, I think it is his worst.
How can you trust what someone says when they claim to have gained 30lbs muscle in 30 days, or whatever it was.
Clearly nonsense.
Tim Ferriss is excellent when it comes to productivity, business, marketing and interviewing. Physical fitness - look elsewhere.
Not everything requires a 'hack'. Sometimes, the conventional methods + hard work will equal great results!
He claims that you should not look at experts for guidance as to training. According to Peak though, experts became so because of the huge amount of deliberate practice they put in, not just because they are 'gifted'. Tim creates a false separation here. You should look for the most efficient training methods, regardless of whether someone is 'gifted' or not. Often people will appear gifted because they have incredible training methods!

Requires careful reading to get the best from it
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 September 2019Verified Purchase
I was motivated to write this after reading some of the 2/3 star reviews, many of which seem to have missed the point. Even if you don't actually apply any of the techniques, this book will likely make you think about your overall health in a different way. Whether or not you do anything with that is - of course - up to you.
There is a wealth of information in this book, and it has helped me lose weight, gain strength and run faster in the last 12 months. Like most of Ferriss' work, it could easily be misunderstood. Be clear that it isn't about shortcuts or 'hacks', it's about efficiently getting maximum benefit from the minimum input - but that 'minimum input' still requires effort and dedication. You'll get out what you're prepared to put in.

This is an interesting book. Tm Ferriss is something of a character. IHe explores his own path to becoming 'superhuman'. He explodes many of the myths on the subjects he describes. It's well worth reading his blog where he tries his weight loss ideas on members of the general public with some success. This book was his first and I think his most interesting. Do not read if you are easily shocked. You have been warned :-) Some Kindle books don't contain illustrations. This does.

Some good advice and reads well
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 September 2018Verified Purchase
I'm just starting out so I can't comment on effectiveness but the book reads well and appears to be packed with useful info and workable solutions that you can stick to. I've swapped white carbs for lentils and it's sustainable for me. Not sure about no fruit, but I can see some fruits are packed with natural sugars. Cheat day 1x a week is good idea.
