When getting started with the The 4-Hour Body fat loss program, which uses the slow-carb diet, you may be wondering what exactly to cook. Tim Ferris gives some great examples of single meals in the book, but they still may leave you wondering what a week of cooking would look like.

Here’s an example meal plan, based on what I ate for a week while doing the fat loss section of the 4 Hour Body. It’s just an example, based on what I like, but I think it holds true to the principles that Tim describes:

4 Hour Body Slow Carb Example Meal Plan

• Keep it simple, repeat meals over and over.
• Protein, legumes, and vegetables with every meal.
• At least 30 grams of protein at breakfast, and 20 grams at lunch and dinner.
