My journey on the 4 hour body? 280 to 160. Period. 30lbs a month... gone. Ferris changed my life for the better and continues to do so. Thanks Tim.

I was one of those women who lost one hundred pounds. Thanks for being kind to me when I introduced myself to you on BART in 2015. Women can do it. I did. I focused on measurements first. Then weight when my measurement numbers dove down. Keep going. This will be proven to be the best way for women particularly to lose weight, balance their hormones, and prove "professional nutritionists" wrong.

NGL - Cheat days *completely* changed my life. Before 4-hour-body, I couldn't stick to any diet long enough to see improvements. Now, on Tim's slow-carb-diet, anytime I feel the urge to binge during the week, I simply make a list of the items I crave and make sure to eat 'em all on Saturday. You can literally have the best of both worlds and still keep the pounds off.

Tim, you've changed my life and everyone's around me more than once. Keep it up, and thank you.

Hey Tim, I hope you read this. My first month of slow carb diet is gonna complete this week and I have already lost 10 pounds. Thank you for this and every piece of content you have every produced. I'm really thankful because this is the first time I've followed a diet for more than a week. Again, thanks again. Your forever student.

Thank you for reminding me, I'm starting today.

[eduardopicasso]

[MrTerryabel]

3 cheat days under my belt and loving it. Thanks Tim! I like to photo everything I eat on that day(and store it in Evernote). Geeky fun.

[bedtimeread]

Hey Tim, looking at this vid cause my first binge day is in 2 days and getting ready.. first 5 days so far.. started at 190lb.. weight this morning at 182lb. Loving every minute! Thank you!!!

[StevieRomano]

I just started the 4-Hour Body Journey 3 days ago....already feeling like Im looking better and losing weight. Thank you for this.

[jrogers]

Tim, thank you for all your dedication and research. The Slow Carb diet is the only diet I have been able to sustain (2 yrs!). Look better, feel better, thank you so much for giving back!

[Mackie]

I bought the 4 hour body years ago and it's still one of my favorite books. If you ever write a book on the keto diet I'll be first in line.

[trroopforever]

I lost 23 of body fat in 3 weeks the first time I tried 4HB. I fell off the wagon when I started working 6 days a week with 4 double shifts; no time to meal prep, too much coffee, and a nearby snack machine. It works, but for me, meal prep was key.

[adellyjosefina]

I re-listening to this and it's great information because now I've noticed I tend to cheat towards the end of the week if I don't really go full out on my designated day. Wishing you the best, Tim.

[AbiolaAbrams]

Thanks, Tim! Great stuff, as per usual.

[jonsalvador]

Been doing it the TF way and it works, been doing it now for 6+ months every Saturday, binge and no damage / fat store... thank Tim
