How does MED for weight loss work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The minimum effective dose is a concept shared in <em>The 4-Hour Body<\/em>. The idea is to do the least amount needed to get the result you desire. It is more efficient and less likely to result in injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep reading to understand minimum effective dose, including MED for weight loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Minimum Effective Dose<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An important part of your experimentation will be to find the <strong>minimum effective dose (MED), which is the smallest dose that will create a particular result.<\/strong> For example, the MED to boil water is 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Heating water past 212 degrees doesn\u2019t make it any more boiled. Further heating just wastes fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Whenever you want to make a change to your body, only do the minimum that\u2019s required to cause the change.<\/strong> The minimum effective dose is desirable for two reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reason #1: Avoiding injury. <\/strong>If you do more than you need to, you\u2019ll actually slow your progress or go backwards because you\u2019ll tire yourself out and overload your body\u2019s healing mechanisms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>For example, if you need to put your shoulders under 100 pounds of tension for two minutes twice a week to strengthen them, don\u2019t train every day\u2014you\u2019ll put your shoulders under unnecessary strain and risk injury. Instead, only do the minimum.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reason #2: Saving time and energy. <\/strong>Pareto\u2019s principle states that in general, 80% of results are caused by 20% of the effort. When it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/performance-science\/\">performance science<\/a>, the ratio is even higher\u2014according to the author, 2.5% of effort is responsible for 95% of results. Doing more than you have to isn\u2019t going to have much effect and is a waste of your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Getting Tested<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are limits to what you can learn from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/self-experimentation-the-4-hour-body\/\">self-experimentation<\/a> if your only data-gathering technique is observation. For example, you might notice that after eating bananas, you feel better, but this could be for a variety of reasons\u2014bananas contain important nutrients, so perhaps you were feeling unwell because you were deficient in those nutrients. Or, you could have just been hungry. Either way, you might have felt even better if you ate something else. <strong>To learn more about what\u2019s actually going on with your body, you need to have tests done.<\/strong> This will help you determine your minimum effective dose, especially an MED for weight loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three rules for testing for minimum effective dose:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Don\u2019t test anything you can\u2019t change.<\/strong> There\u2019s no point in knowing you\u2019re predisposed to an illness if you can\u2019t do anything about it.<\/li><li><strong>Double-check alarming results.<\/strong> If you get a result that requires you to make a big change, get retested, ideally by a different lab, to confirm the result.<\/li><li><strong>When retesting, try to create the same conditions as the original test.<\/strong> Take your tests on the same day of the week, around the same time, and at the same time in your menstrual cycle (if applicable).<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll look at specific tests for specific goals beyond minimum effective dose in later chapters, but the author encourages you to get tested every six months (every three if you\u2019re not eating animal products) to make sure your body is working properly. Everyone should test their aspartate aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase (for liver health), total cholesterol (for, among other things, heart health), and follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estradiol, and prolactin (for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-importance-of-sexual-health\/\">sexual health<\/a>). Men should additionally test their testosterone levels and get their semen analyzed. Women should additionally test their egg supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your insurance might cover your testing, but US doctors often won\u2019t order preventative tests, especially images, because this can open them up to audits by insurance companies. Even if you have to pay for your tests yourself, they\u2019re worth it\u2014they help you detect health problems early and determine your minimum effective dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Medical Tourism<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Often, testing is less expensive in other countries than the US, so consider getting your tests done while you\u2019re traveling, or plan a trip around them. For example, when the author went to Nicaragua on a surf and writing trip, he also had some MRIs and urine and blood testing done. He paid $400 per MRI (they\u2019re $750 in the US) and he saved $640 on urine and blood tests. Altogether, he saved $3,090, which was more than the cost of his trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the minimum effective dose in The 4-Hour Body?
