The 4-Hour Body - An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman - Timothy Ferriss
Self-discipline is overrated and undependable.
Don't eat anything that requires portion control. Get domino foods out of the house and out of
reach.
MISTAKE #7: OVERCONSUMING ARTIFICIAL (OR "ALL-NATURAL") SWEETENERS, INCLUDING AGAVE NECTAR
Even with no calories, most arti cial and natural sugar substitutes provoke increased insulin
release, though aspartame (Nutrasweet® ) shows surprisingly little e ect on insulin. Not that this
is a free license to overconsume Nutrasweet® : it's often paired with acesulfame-K, which has a
host of negative health e ects. Both low-calorie and no-calorie sweeteners have been associated
with weight gain. I've seen just about all of them stall fat-loss.
Don't think I'm preaching. I'm a total Diet Coke whore. Can't help it.
Indulging my addiction up to 16 ounces a day doesn't seem to interfere with loss. I've found,
as have other slow-carbers, that more than 16 ounces interrupts the process at least 75% of the
time
