What if there was a simple and motivating way to experience extreme fat loss? There may be.
Tim Ferris calls his approach a “slow-carb diet” (not a “low-carb diet” which lowers energy levels causing most people to quit).
One of his 4 simple rules for extreme fat loss – and I think the most fascinating thing about this approach – is taking one day off per week and going wild, eating what you think you shouldn’t. And doing it to excess!
What this does, paradoxically, is spike the caloric intake once per week so that the metabolic rate (thyroid function, etc.) does not “downregulate” from restricting caloric intake constantly. This actually helps the body to lose fat. Interesting.
