Shrikanth Koppal asked Timothy Ferriss:

Just into the 1st week of my slow carb diet and I am being pushed back by people suggesting this as a temporary gig. (Quote: 'you have to be kidding me if you think staying away from carbs for 6 days a week is a permanent solution'). Although, I am committed towards doing this no matter what. Any thoughts?

Timothy Ferriss I've been doing it 10+ years, and tens of thousands of people follow it. I'd simply ask your friends "What evidence do you have that it won't work?" They won't be able to provide any. Meanwhile, I do have evidence that it works.

Here's data from 2,000+ people:
http://fourhourworkweek.com/2013/01/2...

Since then we've gathered data from 10,000+ people on different diets, including the Slow-Carb Diet and even randomized diet assignment.

It works, and you don't have to trust me -- trust the data and trust the results.

Keep up the good fight!

A Goodreads user asked Timothy Ferriss:

Podcast idea: I have heard you say that after a couple sessions with a company you can increase their conversion/sign-ups, up to 80%. Do you think it would make a good podcast to feature a random business, talk about their strategy, and point out how they could be doing better on their site to increase conv/signup as well? It would be great for many of us (esp if my co was the one being interviewed!).

Imagine that all those ideas, opinions and habits in your head get their voices and turn into people. Tell us about "the guy in your head" you like the most and/or the guy you hate/fear the most.
