“Can you help me lose this?” my husband asked as he grabbed his belly pooch.

We were writing our New Year’s resolutions, a yearly tradition, and since my husband knows I’ve been researching everything related to health and fitness for years — and have even achieved a lean, athletic physique — he reached out for help.

“I have an idea,” I replied.

After reading Tim Ferriss’s bestselling book, the 4-Hour Body, I’d been tempted to try his famous slow-carb diet, but I didn’t feel I was the right candidate.

As you can see, I’m already lean, so I didn’t want to risk facing hormonal issues by following a rapid fat-loss program.

Enter my husband.

Though he’s also thin and, most importantly, healthy, he could still lose some fat, as evidenced by his “Michelin” (his words, not mine). This made him the perfect guinea pig.
