How to Lose 20 lbs. of Fat in 30 Days… Without Doing Any Exercise

• Slow Carb Diet – “It is possible to lose 20 lbs. of bodyfat in 30 days by optimizing any of three factors: exercise, diet, or drug/supplement regimen.” – Tim Ferriss… drug/supplement regimen?!

• Guidelines- avoid “white” carbs, eat the same 3-4 meals over and over, don’t drink calories, take one day off per week

• He also finishes the blog with “Paradoxically, dramatically spiking caloric intake in this way once per week increases fat loss by ensuring that your metabolic rate (thyroid function, etc.) doesn’t down regulate from extended caloric restriction. That’s right: eating pure crap can help you lose fat. Welcome to Utopia.” ????
