I started the Slow Carb Diet on May 8 of this year, after reading the book "The Four Hour Body" by author Timothy Ferriss. I had read his other work, and I was thoroughly impressed, so I figured why not see what he had to say about hacking the human body. It all made sense. I decided to try it. Below are my before and after results from 11 days of the workout and diet, which also is to follow.

---BEFORE---
Weight: 205
Body fat %: 13.5%
Avg Mile pace for 5k-10k: 8:16
Avg speed on bike for 6.4 miles: 18.6
Reps of 2 handed Kettlebell Swings, 50lbs, in 1 set: 40

---AFTER---
Weight: 212
Body fat %: 11.0%
Avg Mile pace for 5k-10k: 7:49
Avg speed on bike for 6.4 miles: 19.8
Reps of 2 handed Kettlebell Swings, 50lbs, in 1 set: 65

So all together I gained weight. I gained muscle strength and endurance. The kettlebell reps increased by 66%. My 10K time dropped from 51:16 to 48:28. and not to mention... my abs are starting to show up for the first time, and I have never been overweight, i have always been very active.

How did I do it?

I ate doughnuts, I ate as much pizza as possible, I would consume over 700 calories within 30 minutes of bed, and did no physical activity several days.

The above statement is 100% truth. There is a secret to it though. I ate as much pizza as possible the same day I ate 6 doughnuts. it was actually 2 Sundays I did this. I consumed 700+ calories right before sleep, EVERYDAY.

The diet has 5 simple rules, which can be found here: http://www.ehow.com/how_2243463_follow-slow-carb-diet.html

It is very easy to follow if you are dedicated to making yourself better.

My most common day would be to wake up and make 1 whole egg with 4 eggwhites from the carton scrambled, with fresh mushrooms and fresh spinach mixed in. It tastes pretty good, but if you aren't a fan you can add some salsa. Side of black beans or refried beans.

Have a workout before work, then have my mid morning snack at 9:30. It would typically be a lean protein shake. As lean as possible.

Lunch : 2 cans of chunk light tuna in water with a side of canned mixed vegetables.

mid afternoon snack: cooked asparagus and red bell peppers with a light ranch dip

dinner: lean chicken breast baked in a salsa marinade, side of a spinach salad with carrots, tomatoes, a small amount of cheese and light italian dressing.

right before bed: high protein mass gainer, high in calories, high in fat, and has 65 grams of protein if mixed with water. I would take 2 tablets of GNC's L-Glutamin and 1 Centrum vitamin with this shake.

The Workouts were simple:

day 1 - kettle bell swings 1 set as many reps as possible 50 lbs
cat heaving
bosu ball abs
torture twist (all three of the above are described in 4HB)
day 2 - 4x400m sprints with 90 seconds of rest
10 minutes of 100 m sprints with 10 seconds rest
day 3 - repeat day 1
day 4 - repeat day 2
day 5 - repeat day 1
day 6 - longer distance bike or run your choice - i did bricks
day 7 rest

week 2 is the same as week 1

day 7 is your rest day, and i recommend it is your cheat day on the diet.
