Brief overview of the guidelines for the Slow Carb Diet - I highly recommend purchasing the 4 Hour Body book by Tim Ferriss for the full details and info around why it works, as well as details on what supplements to take, exercise programs, etc. For 6 days a week: - 30g protein within 30min of waking. - 3 other meals to follow breakfast, spaced throughout the day. Eat 20g protein in each meal. - no starches or grains. Includes potatoes, wheat, rice, oats, etc etc including derivatives e.g. oat milk etc. - no dairy (incl milk, yogurt, cheese etc) except: 1) cottage cheese, 2) 2tbsp of full fat cream in coffee once a day, 3) pure butter (full fat and no additives). - no sugars or artificial sweeteners, including fruit, honey, "natural" sugars etc. Only exception is one can of diet soda a day. (Science suggests even this spikes insulin levels purely because it's sweet). Only fruit allowed is 1x avocado a day. (Also yes, tomatoes are fine). - no nuts (or maximum 10 almonds a day, but the recommendation is to avoid them 100% as it is very easy to oversnack). This also means no nut milks of any kind. - no chickpeas (unless a small amount) as they are particularly high in calories and interrupt weight loss. - DO eat any and all other pulses - a great source of protein and fiber. Lentils, black beans, kidney beans, etc. - do not count carbs! This is not keto. - no "white foods". This is a simplifying general rule of thumb. No coconut or coconut milk. The only exception is cauliflower (and cauli rice) which is a great staple on this diet. For 1 designated cheat day a week (must be the same day every week), GO CRAZY! Eat whatever you want. (Refer to the dedicated chapter in the book for tips on how to minimise the damage). Refer to Tim's dedicated website for cheat sheets, suggested meal plans, etc. From experience, mine and many others', planning is essential. Know what you will eat each day. Also, keep it simple, specially to start with.
