###I am not a medical Professional and the advice I give in this Podcast is not be taken at face value. Please take the advice of your Personal Healthcare Professional before taking up anything mentioned in this Podcast###The Four Hour Indian Body A person is made based on three things, his FACT, FICTION and FANTASIES Fact: As a fat kid, for a period of 26 years, I have hit the gym and running circuits multiple times. It never made sense to me as to why one should be forced in to fatness just because he loves food. It’s like a less exaggerated version of cancer caused because of smoking. Hours of gymming and jogging were only futile in my case because of two reasons. The exercises weren’t rite, neither were my food habits. I joined the karate, kick boxing, played cricket, badminton, was an active member dancing through my school and college till I started developing an inferiority complex because of my body. The chest area started looking larger than usual only get attention from peers who teased me till I was reduced to nothing but tears. Fiction: The fat kid from school met a friend, his name was Geo. Geo was an absolute nut, believing in self help concepts and patronizing them out of proportions. His views were never taken seriously until he suggested a book to me. “4 hour Body� by Timothy Ferris. Being the greedy reader I was, I lapped up on concepts the book had to offer. It was a book to AWESOMENESS. The savior that could take me out of years of obesity and especially help me get rid of my “Man Boobs�. The book basically is the second in the “4 hour� series that Tim had written. It was a highly researched, experimented, experimental book to help anyone who wanted to transform their lives. The only difficulty (as is the case with most) with the book was that it was based out of the USA. It talked about food and routines and costs and drugs and exercises that were more suitable to the US market. Another additional factor was that it was meant for meat eaters. This made me and Geo go through news papers, websites, articles and shops to find alternatives to make it perfect for the Indian market, especially for a middle class or poor Indian Student who survives with Rs.8000 stipend Revelation from the book: YOUR RESTING METABOLIC RATE IS CLOSE TO 2200Kcal/DAY. YOU HAVE TO EAT ALOTTTT TO GROW FAT Here were our findings. Going through the following routine for a period of 1 month can help you not only shed 8-10 kilograms but can make you stronger and fitter than ever. Mornings: 1. Wake up, drink a liter of water after consuming 30 grams of protein (Nutrimed Gold Whey Protein – Rs.900 for 1 kg or 2 eggs) 2. One large cup Black coffee, no sugar no cream (I personally prefer Rs.2 packets of Bru or Sunrise. Easier to get rid of and they are strong enough and helps quantify ones intake). 3. Drink 2 liters of water post bowel movement. (Try to hit 3 liters of cold water consumption in the morning) 4. Place a 2 kilo ice block into water bucket and fill with water to create a cold shower condition. (I place a vessel of water into the deep freezer the previous night). 5. Take bath with one mug of regular and cold water alternatively pouring the water onto chest and back of the neck slowly. Shiver as much as you can (increases the Brown adipose tissue generation. Lose more heat from body. Burn fat) 6. Reach work place or college. Try to walk faster and say yes to any physical work that comes to you. (this won’t burn fat directly but increases ones metabolism indirectly burning fat) 7. Before Lunch/Dinner take a. 1 tablet Garlic extract (Lasuna from Himalaya – Rs.150 for 60 pills) – Kills adipose or fat tissue b. 1 tablet Green Tea extract (Parrys or Zenith Nutritions – Rs.500 for 60 pills) – daily dose of antioxidants c. 1 tablet Alpha Lipoic Acid (Zenith Nutritions – Rs.500 for 60 pills) – daily dose of omega 3 fatty acids. You can buy all the drugs from snapdeal.com 8. Lunch and Dinner – 100 to 150 grams of mixed daal cooked with 1 egg and spinach. Curry of your choice except Alu or Potato. No rice, no chapatti, no oats. a. I usually also stock up on all types of beans like rajma, white beans, green peas, black beans, green sprouts and kidney beans. b. I buy vegetables on Monday or Sunday and pay the local restaurant guy Rs.50 who cuts all the vegetables for me and I store them in the fridge c. When I go out for lunch, I order for daal fry or dal tadka along with either egg burji 9. Snacking – Eat snacks out of the following lot a. Haldiram’s moong daal b. Haldiram’s tasty peanuts, masala peanuts, salted peanuts c. Haldiram’s Channa nuts d. If nothing, nutribix full fiber biscuits e. Paneer items. Dry 10. No milk or milk related products except for paneer. 11. No dosa, idly, poori, pongal, upma etc. basically nothing to do with rice or rice batter. Rice digests faster and increases blood sugar spike enabling insulin to increase food ingestion into cells causing a storage feast for adipose tissue. Idly is the worst of the lot. Its not healthy. 12. One min of exercise before and after meal. I usually do either pushups or situps. Just one min, nothing more nothing less. Increases Glut4 protein in muscles enhancing sugar absorption into muscles rather than into adipose tissue Exercise: Half hour every alternate day either in the form of running or gymming or anything. No restrictions. This is just to increase ones body resting metabolic rate
