I expect some severe flamage over this but I would like to open up this discussion.
I just picked up the 4 Hour Body by Tim Ferris the other day because after leafing through it I found some rather novel concepts that I wanted to try to apply. Diet-wise, it is not remotely paleo, nor raw but there are ideas that could be applied to the raw paleo diet. One huge prob is he loves beans, tsk tsk and he prescribes a diet that is not really a natural plan (i.e. on his weight loss plan, he follows a strict diet for 6 days then has a gorge fest on day 7 where he eats everything he wants). His diet and work-out strategies are designed to "hack" the human body systems for a desired effect.
It is a good sized book that has topics on weight loss, bodybuilding, endurance training, cold water therapy.
I have been following (mostly) a raw paleo diet for about a year but have not really played around with other ideas. I am thinking of tweaking Tim's ideas and making a raw paleo version of it - w/o legumes or the processed cheat day shit. I am planning on avoiding all fruits for the 6 days and then having my cheat day with an abundance of various fruits, raw honey etc.
Just wondering if any of you have explored any of his ideas.

I would say go for it. Try and do your experiment as scientifically as possible (limiting variables). And keep us updated on the forum about your results.
