The creator of The Fat-Burning Man Show shares his revolutionary Paleo-inspired weight-loss program

Every month, half a million visitors download The Fat-Burning Man Show, eager to learn the secret of Abel James’s incredible weight-loss success. Growing up on a defunct farm in the backwoods of New Hampshire, James had easy access to a host of natural foods that a backyard garden could provide: eggs, fresh produce, and real butter. But as he got older, he started eating a "modern diet" of processed foods, and by his early twenties, James found himself with high blood pressure, insomnia, acne, digestive problems, and love handles. Following the typical dieting advice of “eat less, exercise more,” and despite running thirty miles a week and nibbling tasteless, low-fat, low-calorie food, his health only worsened as his waistline expanded.

In an effort to gain control of his health, James dug deep into nutrition research and discovered that everything he’d been told about low-calorie eating was wrong. He realized that our bodies are wired to eat luxuriously—and burn fat—as long as we’re eating real, natural foods that are grown on a farm and not in a factory. Incredibly, after just a few days of eating the most delicious "wild" foods that were rich in fat and fiber, James’s health problems began to disappear. And after forty days—and radically cutting back his exercise routine—he had lost twenty pounds.

The Wild Diet is the book James’s hundreds of thousands of fans have been clamoring for. At a time when our collective health is failing, James sounds a clarion call to announce that good health doesn’t live in a pill, exercise program, or soul-crushing diet. The secret is simply getting back to our wild roots and eating the way we have for centuries.

Includes a bonus PDF of meals and recipes from the book.

Sums up the knowledge of the Fat-burning Man Podcast and creates an easily digestible guide to the new frontier of health

Abel touches on nearly everything you need to know for a healthy life way. He even gives you guidance on the family dog and your children. This may be the best source for everyone looking for nutritional change. It's simple, straight forward, and succinctly written. It would take ten books to garner what he has put together here; from bio-hacks to standing desks he covers the gamut. Thank you.

A lot more than just a book about healthy eating

I have read extensively on this subject and I have to say this is probably the best book on healthy eating and lifestyle I have read.

Titling any book a 'diet' book runs the risk that it sounds like just another eating plan. This book is much more than that and describes not only how to eat but also healthy lifestyle practices that go hand in hand with a healthy eating regime. A better title [though maybe not usable] would be "eat and live the way your body was designed to"
A great book. Read it. Share it.

A must read

Easy to understand, gives you a new (although ancient) way to look at the food that we consume. For example I’ve always though my breakfast was healthy because I’d usually have almond milk with honey brand cereal, when I looked at the ingredients and realized how much sugar I was consuming so early in the morning and how bad it was for me I understood why has been so hard to get rid of my spare tire despite doing so much effort at the gym and kitchen.

Thank you.

The only thing left for him to do is hold your. One of the best book on how to live your life.

great listen!

Abel has a very inviting voice. very easy to listen to. The info is also great. A lot of what you may already know (eat real food, stay away from fake food), however, his delivery is wonderful. Also the accompanying PDF offers great recipes to get started.
