How about 20 pounds in 30 days without exercise? Almost any person can enjoy great-tasting - even gourmet 4 hour recipes:(soups,salads,side dishes, main dishes) in this book and still lose weight in the process. Of the many fantastic things in the 4 Hour Body, one of the flaws of the book is that there are so few recipes. I know he didn’t set out to write a cook book! The 4 Hour Body stresses the Slow-Card Diet Plan for fat loss. The first rule of thumb is no “white” carbohydrates, which means no simple sugars or processed grains. The second rule is eat the same few meals over and over again. You can eat as much legumes and vegetables as you like. Legumes can come straight out of the can or you can buy them dry and rehydrate them, whatever works for you. Rule 1: Avoid white carbohydrates (or anything that can be white). Rule 2: Eat the same few meals over and over again. Rule 3: Don’t drink calories. Rule 4: Don’t eat fruit. Rule 5: Take one day off per week and go nuts
