"how to sleep 2 hours a day and feel fully rested" tells you all you need to know. There may be truths in the book, but certainly there's some things that are not possible/sustainable.
If it sounds to good to be true...
"gain 34 pounds of muscle in 28 days, without steroids"

Sure Timothy

The slow carb diet from this helped me lose tons of weight a few times in the last 15 years
Same. I've done it twice to a T and it worked great. All with zero exercising.

I lost close to 25 pounds in a 2-month period following the slow carb diet without straying. It worked for me at least. I didn't workout as much and looked more toned which made zero sense but... it worked.

There are books about simple investing practices that will produce a million dollars at 62 years old if you start at 22.

3/4 of the country could be millionaires at retirement if they followed it.

Quote from BaconOnWheels :
Eh, It's not really about the level of difficultness to simply walk 30 mins a day out of 24hrs one is given or to eat bland chicken and drink water over a Double Bacon cheeseburger and 20oz sugar injection.(3 times a day)

It's fairly easy to do...Americans are just too weak minded and made up of excuses. They're comfortable and lazy to make simple life changes, especially when you have a McDonalds at every corner. Americans love the EZ way out.

You know what might work in America? if we take all the McDonald's away. Yes, that will stop people from being obese. Make sure no one has access to McDonalds or maybe limit what people can get from McDonalds. Yes yes! that will solve the issues of obesity.
Lots and lots wrong with this. But I doubt you care.

So one pound of actual fat (yes...that yellow adipose tissue underneath the skin) is roughly 3000 calories. So in order to lose one pound of fat (NOT to be confused with water weight), it will take u weeks to create a -3000 cal deficit. A lot of overweight people go by the scales and get all happy when they see they weigh 5lbs less in a week. But this is only water weight in the form of sodium/electrolytes etc. Actual body fat takes time.

Former fatty here and I went from 225lbs to 180lbs current and I do 3 mile morning runs in the weekdays and combo of HIT cardio+weights in weekends. I no longer calorie count cos I'm burning so much, I don't pick up weight easily. And I don't do any silly diets etc. I eat potatoes/pizza/beer in the weekends but never skip my runs or workouts. But all in all, I'm always in a calorie deficit vs my maintenance calories.

If anything, look up Lyle McDonald's work on intermittent fasting and its benefits and its much better reading VS crap like this that's making someone richer by spreading nonsense. And his work is actually based on medical data and tests.

Good article here. A lot of people like me have followed his work with extremely good results and we stuck with it over time. And this is free advise.

Reason why fitness instructors recommend low carb diet for fat people is insulin....carbs spike insulin much higher and quicker so u feel hungry more often. And most people have zero knowledge of calories. Low carb address this as low insulin mean u not looking for snacks every 2-3 hours and just shoving food. One good example of Lyle's work here...

weighing the food he consumed and weighing his poop to see if they were equal.

Polyphasic sleep systems exist in many forms. Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion sleep schedule is 30 minute naps every 6 hour cycle, for 2 hours of sleep per day.

I tried it out a few times in college. First, you have to train yourself to fall asleep quickly. That's not easy for everyone. Most people would likely need to start out with something like the Everyman Sleep Schedule (3h at night and 3 x 20 minute naps during the day). These systems are very hard to sustain for more than a week.

In the short term you can accomplish an amazing amount of work (say moving your house, driving across country solo, exam crams and project completion). Long term it just plain wears you out.

So we agree, not sustainable. I'm nearing 50 and I can still pull all nighters, shoot 2 hours would probably allow me to do back to back to back 2 hour nights!

I'm sure Fuller sustained it for quite a while. We're all built differently. And in an instance where one might consider doing an all-nighter, I'd say this is way better so long as you can actually get value out of a 20 minute nap and losing a couple hours to sleep isn't going to cause problems.
