For that I owe him great gratitude, a big thanks and a lot of respect. I was surprised then when I randomly picked up a can at my local grocery store and discovered that it's nutrition panel was almost identical to the can of beans I was holding in my hand - and what I was looking at was not what anybody would consider a bean, or a lentil. Read on to find out what I was holding, and whether it's an alternative to beans. http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/05/14/are-cravings-a-sign/ http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/05/14/are-cravings-a-sign/#comments Mon, 14 May 2012 14:55:02 +0000 Luke http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/?p=2239 http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/05/14/are-cravings-a-sign/feed/ 0 How often do you have a craving? How intense is it? For many people, perhaps for yourself, cravings can be a disruptive part of every single day, and they can be hard to ignore. Though sometimes we just feel like having a treat, there could be a much more serious message that a craving is sending to you. Find out now what that is, and how to take action to correct the problem. http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/05/09/why-does-pagg-work-so-well/ http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/05/09/why-does-pagg-work-so-well/#comments Wed, 09 May 2012 12:32:07 +0000 Luke http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/?p=2226 http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/05/09/why-does-pagg-work-so-well/feed/ 8 I hear the question "Does PAGG work?" pretty often these days. And it's not a hard question to answer. But one that came up recently was 'Why does PAGG work so well?' - and I wasn't well prepared for that one. So, I decided to investigate and little further, and get to the bottom of it. Here's what I found. http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/04/24/look-amazing-this-summer/ http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/04/24/look-amazing-this-summer/#comments Tue, 24 Apr 2012 11:24:49 +0000 Luke http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/?p=2216 http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/04/24/look-amazing-this-summer/feed/ 0 Have you looked at the calendar recently? Starting to count the weeks, not the months, until those warm summer days give you a great reason to head to the outdoors, cook a delicious BBQ and unwind with friends? Maybe you're thinking you'd like to enjoy some outdoor activities this year, more than you've been able to in recent years? Whatever your reason, there's only a couple of precious months left before summer, and now's a perfect time to focus in on losing fat, and feeling great, so you're ready for those warm days, and fun nights. Read on to discover how you can look your best all through summer. http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/04/12/lose-more-fat-with-this-antidote-to-stress/ http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/04/12/lose-more-fat-with-this-antidote-to-stress/#comments Thu, 12 Apr 2012 12:58:16 +0000 Luke http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/?p=2198 http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/04/12/lose-more-fat-with-this-antidote-to-stress/feed/ 0 Stress, stress, stress. The word almost makes you feel more of it. So today I want to take a look at one antidote to stress that is proven to help reduce those stress levels, and in turn potentially help you lose fat that's hanging around due to stress. Read on for the very simple antidote you can use every day (hint: it's not exercise). http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/04/11/does-this-muscle-growth-hack-work-for-you/ http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/04/11/does-this-muscle-growth-hack-work-for-you/#comments Wed, 11 Apr 2012 23:48:33 +0000 Luke http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/?p=2191 http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/04/11/does-this-muscle-growth-hack-work-for-you/feed/ 4 This is a little trick that I've been testing over a number of months, and I can conclude that it's working for me.

It is to me too. And its not just about looking good, because bodyfat is one of those things that makes you look - and feel - like you're less healthy than you could be. So, you, me and everyone else tries things to reduce bodyfat. But, what if that means you are focusing on the symptom, not the cause? Sounds like a recipe for endless frustration. So what if excess bodyfat is actually a symptom? http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/03/16/cheat-week-have-i-gone-crazy/ http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/03/16/cheat-week-have-i-gone-crazy/#comments Fri, 16 Mar 2012 12:49:42 +0000 Luke http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/?p=2177 http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/03/16/cheat-week-have-i-gone-crazy/feed/ 6 Cheat day, reward day, treat day, splurge day, binge day - there's lot of names for it, but we all love it. So what happens if the day becomes a week? And why would anyone ever think of taking an entire week off slow carb? Find out not only the results of this bizarre experiment, but also why I think there's something to be gained from this madness. Jump the fence and find out what life's like 'over there'. http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/03/07/the-truth-about-losing-weight-revealed/ http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/03/07/the-truth-about-losing-weight-revealed/#comments Wed, 07 Mar 2012 14:45:28 +0000 Luke http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/?p=2153 http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/03/07/the-truth-about-losing-weight-revealed/feed/ 2 What's your number? I'll bet there's a number on the scale, that you would love to see. It might be close, it might be far, but you know that when you reach it, things will be different. You look at that excess weight, and worry about your health. Your sights are focused on how you can lose weight, how you can get closer to that number and be healthier. Get the truth about weight and weight loss - you might have a couple of surprises. http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/02/29/the-slow-carb-rule-i-dont-agree-with/ http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/02/29/the-slow-carb-rule-i-dont-agree-with/#comments Wed, 29 Feb 2012 23:40:14 +0000 Luke http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/?p=2141 http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/02/29/the-slow-carb-rule-i-dont-agree-with/feed/ 17 It's a simple lifestyle - beans, protein and vegies, and then that fun day of the week where anything goes. So what's not to like? Great health results, losing fat, building muscle - it all seems pretty great. But there's one particular recommendation Tim Ferriss made that I've never agreed with, and research now proves it could see your waist line expanding over the next 5 or 10 years.

What then could be dangerous about it's methods, and how could they contribute to long term fat gain? http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/02/14/tim-ferriss-on-dr-oz-jumpstart-your-body-video/ http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/02/14/tim-ferriss-on-dr-oz-jumpstart-your-body-video/#comments Wed, 15 Feb 2012 06:58:22 +0000 Luke http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/?p=2108 http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/02/14/tim-ferriss-on-dr-oz-jumpstart-your-body-video/feed/ 16 Tim Ferriss recently appeared on the Dr Oz show - get his latest tips, his updated morning routine, his fix for bad moods, poor sleep, and losing pounds right here, summarized for your convenience, plus links to the videos! http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/02/06/new-slow-carb-hack-for-faster-progress/ http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/02/06/new-slow-carb-hack-for-faster-progress/#comments Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:47:14 +0000 Luke http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/?p=2085 http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/02/06/new-slow-carb-hack-for-faster-progress/feed/ 59 It's not every week that I can share something so game-changing as this with you. So I'm pretty excited about it. If you've ever thought 'those cheat days sure set me back, but I have to do them', then this is the article for you. This new slow carb hack is not in the book, and it's not necessarily one you'll see discussed much online. http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/01/23/one-guy-vs-all-those-meal-replacement-shakes/ http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/01/23/one-guy-vs-all-those-meal-replacement-shakes/#comments Mon, 23 Jan 2012 14:08:28 +0000 Luke http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/?p=2067 http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/01/23/one-guy-vs-all-those-meal-replacement-shakes/feed/ 7 In the last few weeks, I seem to be frequently coming across 'meal replacement' shake mixes. Whether it's at the gym, around friends, or with clients - these drink mixes are popping up everywhere. Once you know their dark secret though, you'll probably look at them a little differently next time you see one. http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/01/05/new-years-resolutions-throw-them-away/ http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/01/05/new-years-resolutions-throw-them-away/#comments Thu, 05 Jan 2012 13:19:06 +0000 Luke http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/?p=2055 http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2012/01/05/new-years-resolutions-throw-them-away/feed/ 6 Not to shock you, but if you made some New Year's resolutions, it's time to throw them away. Be done with them. Forget them and leave them in the past. It's time for you to truly see past the 'try' phase and know what it feels like to achieve what you want. http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2011/12/28/fat-loss-before-new-year/ http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2011/12/28/fat-loss-before-new-year/#comments Wed, 28 Dec 2011 12:45:00 +0000 Luke http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/?p=1397 http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2011/12/28/fat-loss-before-new-year/feed/ 0 Did your Christmas cheat day extend into Boxing Day? Or maybe there's been a couple too many cheat days in the holiday season? Not to worry, even with just a few days of 2011 left, follow this simple plan and you could be carrying less fat in the new year than you are right now. It's simple, to the point and won't kill your celebrations on Saturday night. http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2011/12/05/do-women-actually-lose-weight-on-slow-carb/ http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2011/12/05/do-women-actually-lose-weight-on-slow-carb/#comments Mon, 05 Dec 2011 14:29:45 +0000 Luke http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/?p=2022 http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2011/12/05/do-women-actually-lose-weight-on-slow-carb/feed/ 20 This is a question that's come through to us, loud and clear, from many, many people. It's time to finally talk about this, in the open, so that no one feels guilty anymore, and so that there's no disappointment with results. http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2011/12/02/customizing-you-slow-carb-diet-2/ http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2011/12/02/customizing-you-slow-carb-diet-2/#comments Fri, 02 Dec 2011 13:14:21 +0000 Luke http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/?p=1172 http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2011/12/02/customizing-you-slow-carb-diet-2/feed/ 10 Is the slow carb diet a one-size-fits-all, or is it a good starting point? Whether you're getting started, or if you've been going for months, the question of tailoring the meals, and the routine, to your schedule and preferences is an important one. If you're worried that you're never going to get relief from the black beans you've had for every meal lately, or if the chicken breast isn't giving you enough protein to recover and build more muscle, then we have the answers right here. http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2011/11/21/four-hour-body-gift-list-holidays-christmas-ideas-slow-carb-diet/ http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2011/11/21/four-hour-body-gift-list-holidays-christmas-ideas-slow-carb-diet/#comments Mon, 21 Nov 2011 13:14:00 +0000 Luke http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/?p=1540 http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2011/11/21/four-hour-body-gift-list-holidays-christmas-ideas-slow-carb-diet/feed/ 12 Before the panic sets in, and the shops are full to overflowing, have a browse through this gift list, that includes some great ideas for someone who's read the Four Hour Body, or someone you think could really benefit from some of the great information is has in it.

Calcium supplementation needs to be done carefully, because other foods and nutrients can stop calcium from being absorbed as efficiently, and likewise, calcium can block the absorption of certain minerals. Read on to find out what to avoid, and what to do.
