For those of you who are interested in where the 30g protein within 30min of waking up comes from, it's from Tim Ferriss' "The 4-Hour Body", which I bought earlier in the week. He also has a protein/vegetable style diet called "The Slow-Carb Diet", but it includes a cheat day every week, and I'm not ready to do that. I figured the 30g within 30 was easy to incorporate into Dukan. I will follow Ferriss' methods to lessen the damage from bingeing, as I'm doing the Easter thing.
After reading Ferriss' book (the diet sections), I still feel Dukan will be better/easier for me to follow than Ferriss'. I like the Consolidation phase, but I'm probably going to be low/no gluten and low/no sugar thanks to Ferriss and Gary Taubes' NYT article, and Lustig's 90-min video, "Sugar -- The Bitter Truth".
I've read a few articles on the 4-Hour Body - and was somewhat curious. Is it worth checking out at the library? I may do so.
ReplyDeleteI really recommend it. It's not just about the diet, there are sections about gaining muscle, another section on improving your sex life, i.e. gives a primer for guys on how to please a woman, including anatomy lessons! Very informative, the guy turned himself into a guinea pig.
