If you have a couple minutes, I'd like to talk with you about reptile oil. And a bridge.

  Ok, that's just creepy.

    I for one have a very non-creepy (bright, cheery lights, lots of foot traffic, bright colors) bridge I may interest you in. My reptile oil, however, is very run-of-the-mill.

Ditto. I used his diet a couple of years ago and lost 20 pounds in a month. Haven't read the book yet, but I'm really looking forward to it.

I've "tried" similar methods through my own experimentation throughout my life (pre-Ferris anything) with great results. Slow carb (ish, as I said, it was my own experiments): 60 lbs in 7 months, 80 lbs in 2 years and looking more lean. 1 set to failure: 8 lbs lean gain (though I had muscle memory from a previous larger structure) in a month. Etc. I'm going to try the 5/5 cadence (which I have never done, though feel fantastic doing so during and post WO) for some more lean gains. Ferris' non-bullshit approach and simplistic, non-fluffed (this and the 4 Hour Work Week) put people off. Find an item. Ship it 20 times yourself. Develop a process, ship 100..etc. He gets more hate then he deserves :)

  Honestly, I really quite like 4HWW - it changed my point of view on a lot of things. I felt really ripped off by 4HB and still think there is a dangerous 'signal to noise' ratio in there. With just over a week to have calmed down though - I can admit that there are some good bits in there.

I just started some of it this monday. Specifically, the slow carb diet (seems legit enough)... and some of the workout stuff he recommends. There's an ab exercise that did tear apart my abs (in a good way) - and I workout a lot and do medicine ball ab stuff frequently; I'm not some shlub starting a new years thing. He also says only do 1 set of an exercise and do each rep very slowly (like 5 seconds up, 5 seconds down on a bench press) - this also made me very sore the next day so I'll keep doing it. However he basically says don't bother with cardio, and recommends a ton of obscure foods - I probably will continue running and not buy that crap. Hopefully this will work as I've been unable to lose any weight trying other stuff (not very fat - just want abs).
