#FOUR HOUR BODY FREE#
Free radicals are waste products that weaken our immune system. In terms of fat loss, ALA is a “free radical scavenger”.

75 out of 79 test subjects actually showed a reversal in their disease. It’s taken once a day.ĪLA was first processed and tested in the 70s to fight liver disease with amazing results.

The optimal dosage he found was 23mg/day for lowering body fat. In his studies, he found that policosanol helped to reduce bodyfat in himself and his “guinea pigs”. Not really, but that’s how I remember which is good and which is bad), but the effect is not considered conclusive.įerriss tested on himself and other volunteers three different brands and three different dosages. Studies have shown that it can lower LDL and raise HDL cholesterol (remember: “l” stands for “lethal” and “h” stands for “healthy”. Policosanol is a fatty alcohol extract from plant waxes, usually from sugar cane or bees wax and wheat germ. The doses I indicate are what Ferriss’ studies showed to be ideal for fat loss on 4HB. Below I break apart each layer in The Stack to outline what it means and what it does. I had heard of green tea and garlic, but as for the rest I had no idea. Simply, PAGG is a group of dietary supplements. I’ll let you decide whether or not I reached that goal. I decided to do my own research to be able to speak intelligently about the stack. In fact, it was the first search term someone used in Google to find my site, and I didn’t even have anything about PAGG on the site. There’s quite a bit of other research to back up his results.Īll I knew about PAGG was that it’s in The 4-Hour Body and people who follow 4HB ask about PAGG all the time. But it’s not all ramblings of homeless guys and somewhat OCD authors. (p114)Īpparently that was the turning point for Ferriss and his research. You know how I lost…more than 100 pounds? Garlic. He’d been working on a combination when a homeless guy told him the secret to it all. Tim Ferriss, author of The 4-Hour Body, did some intense research, investigation, and testing regarding supplements. Note: If all the text on the page gives you hives, you can skip ahead to my PAGG cheat sheet. This post is my way of bringing us all together ( *queue some cheesy song about friendship and unity*). If you haven’t heard of 4HB, you probably have no flippin’ clue what it is. If you’ve read anything about The 4-Hour Body, you’ve probably heard of the PAGG stack.
