    I did this successfully when Tim first came out with the 4HB, and was amazed by the results. I lost about 35 lbs in just under 8 weeks and felt amazing. I unfortunately have developed a strong digestive sensitivity to legumes now and can not do this anymore (yes I've tried) so I've replaced them with sweet potatoes and had almost equally great results. I'll be restarting it next week to validate this can work for a longer time period.

    While I’m a big Tim Ferris fan, I can’t imagine any diet that encourages binge eating, even just one day a week, aligns with having a healthy relationship with food and facilitates appetite mindfulness. Moreover, it’s a slippery slope that could result in compulsive overeating on other days of the week. Not only would this be counterproductive to the intended physical benefits, but people are more likely to experience adverse emotional effects. Feeling out of control with food (or anything for that matter) typically hurts one’s self-esteem. And with a significant amount of energy required to digest large quantities of food resulting in lethargy, socializing becomes difficult. This can lead to greater self-isolation, which is harmful to mental health.
    Food for thought…

      I've been doing a variation of this since 2012, and I think I understand why he'd recommend such a thing as I came to the same conclusion soon after changing my eating habits: this diet self-regulates once it becomes habit. Nevermind the physical effects of such no-holds-barred cheat days; the psychological effect of shoving empty calories down your throat just because you can sets in pretty quickly - at least it did for me - but it's something that I think needs to be experienced in order to become internalized...or, rather experience seemed for me the best path to lasting adherence. In the end, I just couldn't bear the thought of stewarding my body like a champ for six days a week and then going back to the trough on day 7. And even when I've fallen off for a time, the perseverance I'd gained through the ebb and flow made it so much easier to get back on track than attempts in the past.

      @@TasteOfButterflies when you consider how many calories one could take in on a unrestricted cheat day and the effects this can have on long-term behavior it is absolutely a horrible idea.
      It is extremely easy to wipe out an entire week's worth of caloric deficit in one day.
      Also the concept of cheap days tends to lead to us feeling that eating healthy and working out is something that we just can't manage or is so painful that we need a break to escape from.

That said, would you think the same if you swapped no-holds-barred eating 1x/week for alcohol?

    Love this interview. I just started my 5th month of the slow carb diet, but I'm actually doing it like Andrew Huberman said. I cheat on Saturdays and then fast on Sunday (either a full 24 hours, or I'll have dinner) and that seems to help the damage from cheat day quite a bit.
    Lost 10 pounds per month in the first two months, flatlined in month 3 due to travelling to Asia, but in month 4 I lost 6 pounds. Am feeling really good about it all. Lost 4 inches off the belly and am down body fat percentage too.
    I like that Tim talked about moderating cheat day with time. That's actually what I'm doing this month. Am trying one Saturday with only one cheat meal and will skip cheat day altogether one week to see if it affects results at all.
    Also I would recommend to anyone that's doing this to get both Tim's books 4-Hour Body and 4-Hour Chef. 4-Hour Chef contains all slow carb meals and there is some great stuff in there that is allowing me to add in much needed diversity to my diet.

    I did slow carb in 2011 and ate spinach daily and was not awere of the high oxaletes in it, but I didn't notice any damage. I liked slow carb. During the week I wrote down what foods I was missing and wanted to eat on cheat day. Had cheat day on Saturday or Sunday, but never ate all of the stuff I bought. So I had it at home until next weekend, which was a bit scary first😂 But I often felt like crap the day after Cheat day. Also my digestion somehow couldn't handle that much veggies/fiber I ate. I was always quite bloated. So I slowly transitioned to low carb, then keto and now carnivore since 2019. I always had IBS, but on carnivore it completely went away. I think slow carb was a good entry point for my journey to reduce carbs. I also bought a kettlebell in 2011 because of the 4hour body book and still love to do kettlebell swings 💪🏻 So happy I bought the book back in 2011😊

      You’re better off doing a high protein diet and mixing the rest of your macros with fat and carbs. Do not restrict yourself from any food groups. A 40% protein with however you want to split the other 60% is a great way to start. When you restrict yourself, cravings pop up in the worst way. Better to just eat what you want and make sure you hit that protein goal, that’s most important! Exercise and be in a slight caloric deficit if you want to lose weight or eat more if you don’t.
      Huberman having tim Ferris on really bugs me, I hope he didn’t do this for views. Tim Ferris isn’t a doctor and quite frankly doesn’t know what he’s talking about half the time. I’ve read multiple books by him, done the slow carb. Done every diet in the book and what I described to you above, works. Get a macro counter like “Macro factor”, my personal favorite and watch the weight fall off.
      Like I said above I’ve done every diet and fortunately or unfortunately they are all garbage. It’s calories in, calories out, it’s all about preference and Huberman has interviewed enough PhDs to know Tim’s slow carb diet is trash. If you can’t tell I’m disappointed in him and his team.
      Also, cheat meals are a sure fire way to derail success, it’s better to stay the course. Dr. Huberman talks about this in a solo podcast not to long ago. Again, you can eat whatever you want. I eat ice cream, but I follow my macros to the T.

    I’m very wary of taking diet/nutrition advice from people online, especially if they aren’t endocrinologists or dietitians. So many “gurus”, food bloggers or nutritionists have not got the robust qualifications to safely be giving advice, yet people get sucked into believing what they say because they have a large online following or a best-selling book. From what I’ve Googled about Mr Ferriss it seems his background is in business rather than science or medicine, and he has a BA in “East Asian Studies” (basically study of the region's culture, written language, history and political institutions rather than at least a BSc in human biology for example). I’m not saying he’s necessarily wrong, I’m just urging caution when taking advice from self-taught “lifestyle gurus”.
