Tim Ferriss: How To Make The 4-Hour Chef Your Best Book Yet
Total reading time – 2: 27 seconds
Hey Tim,
I’m responding to the question you posted on Facebook.
“What can I do to make this next book (The 4-Hour Chef) my best book yet? I really don’t want to let you guys down.” [Tim]
First of all, it’s my cheat day so after eating [insert your choice of protein here], legumes, veggies, and salsa for a week I’d rather be stuffing another Oreo in my mouth instead of thinking about the slow-carb diet. However, since you’ve been so helpful, I’ve decided to slowly put down the Oreo and give you my “two cents.”
Show Me the Variety
Being a slow-carb convert, I desperately want need variety in how my meals “taste.” Tim, like you, I love salsa. In fact, I’m a sauce prostitute. Unfortunately, after eating salsa for six months straight, I’m about to go *&%! “postal.” If it wasn’t for cheat days I probably would have already. I’ve actually been experimenting with a few sauce alternatives but feel they don’t cut it when it comes to helping with fat loss.
Natural Elixirs That Boost Energy and Concentration
I’m a recovering energy drink / caffeine addict. I’ve been experimenting with Yerba mate tea with great success. Any more ideas I can try? How about a mixture of Yerba mate with foods that boost energy?
For Slow-Carb Newbies
The biggest myth you need to address is that eating “healthy” is expensive. It’s not. My average meal costs me $1.42 CDN, including cost for supplements and buying groceries for a family of four.
The 80/20
Overall, the above is my uber quick “80/20 analysis” for your new book. If you focus on giving us slow-carb veterans more ideas on variety and perhaps even a few natural energy boosters, while reinforcing how cheap it really is, you’ll have another winner.
In fact, I’d even buy a copy (as long as I get to contribute a sauce idea or two – kidding, well sort of ☺)
Now, where did I put that *%&# Oreo?
