So… How Did I Do It?

I’ve personally used this diet to lose 7kg (almost 15 pounds) in less than 12 weeks and use it throughout the year in my endurance sports training phases.

It’s great during recovery and easy periods and helps me maintain low body fat and lean muscle mass.

Oh, hello! I’m DLake Creates (aka Daren) and I help committed and serious endurance athletes perform better as they age.

This diet/eating routine helped me lose some not so healthy body fat that I didn’t know I was gaining from bad eating habits.

What is the Slow Carb Cycle?

The slow-carb diet was created in 2010 by New York Times best-selling author and biohacker Timothy Ferriss when he wrote the book The 4-Hour Body– An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman.

Tim Ferriss claims that it’s the most effective eating routine (aka diet) that he knows for rapid and sustainable weight loss.

He also suggests that it is possible to lose even further body fat by optimizing any/all of these three factors: diet, exercise (lifting heavy 2-3 times a week) and your supplement regimen. (The PAGG Stack)

We’ll focus on the diet and we know you will handle the exercise and supplements!

Similar to the Ketogenic (keto) diet, the slow-carb diet is based on a low intake of carbohydrates.

This allows you to get full easier on heavy foods thus being in a weekly calorie deficit, which leads to weight loss over time.

The Keto Diet is hard to maintain in the long term and hard to do if you want to eat socially with others.

The Slow Carb diet is much easier allowing you to substitute legumes/beans for carbs, meaning you can quickly modify most meals to suit.

The plan is based on five fundamental rules that dictate the basics of the diet.

Patrick lost more than 100 pounds on The Slow-Carb Diet.

Rule #1: Avoid “white” starchy carbohydrates (or those that can be white). This means all bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, and grains. If you have to ask, don’t eat it.

Rule #2: Eat the same few meals over and over again, especially for breakfast and lunch. You already do this; you’re just picking new default meals.

Rule #3: Don’t drink calories. Exception: 1-2 glasses of dry red wine per night is allowed.

Rule #4: Don’t eat fruit. (Fructose –> glycerol phosphate –> more bodyfat, more or less.) Avocado and tomatoes are excepted.

Rule #5: Take one day off per week and go nuts. I choose and recommend Saturday.

In general, it involves consuming a limited list of foods for six consecutive days, with one “cheat day” once a week where you can eat whatever you want.

You can eat as much as you want of the foods on the list (no calorie counting on this diet!)

Other real-world stories from the Slow Carb Diet

**Patrick lost more than 100 pounds on The Slow-Carb Diet.**

“I just wanted to sincerely thank Tim for taking the time to research and write The 4-Hour Body. My mom, in her late 60’s, lost 45 lbs and got off her high blood pressure meds that she had been on for 20+ years. She did all this in about 3 months. This means that I get to have her around for a long time.”
– Patrick

The Slow Carb Diet works for both women and men. Maria Rider (pictured below) is over 40 years of age and a mother. As she put it to Tim, she’d always been “the heavy mom.” Now she’s seen differently:

“I haven’t seen this weight since my college years! I just wish Tim had written the book 20 years ago!”
– Maria

She had dropped from 247 pounds to 122 pounds, for a loss thus far of 125 pounds. Her husband has also lost 56 pounds.

The Slow Carb Diet is also effective for going from “normal” to very, very fit, as MP shows:

Next, we’ll meet Ricardo A, in depth. Ricardo first reached out to Tim via email. It began with…

“I cannot put into words the great gift you have given me. [The Slow-Carb Diet is]…intended to be effective, not fun.” As soon as I read those words, I knew I had to give the slow carb diet a try. 210 days later, I haven’t looked back. The change has been incredible. Not just my weight, but my outlook on life. I have followed your instructions to the letter…”
