The Wild Diet

Get Back to Your Roots, Burn Fat, and Drop Up to 20 Pounds in 40 Days

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.

Critic reviews

"A word of caution: Everything you think you know about diet and exercise is probably wrong. It’s time to change your relationship to fat, whole grains, sugar, the pizza delivery guy, and even your treadmill. The Wild Diet flies in the face of the outdated advice touted by health and wellness 'experts', and gives you real-life strategies to lose fat and get fit as quickly as possible. In a sea of marketing hype, Abel James is a powerful and authentic voice that speaks the truth." (Jonathan Bailor, New York Times best-selling author of The Calorie Myth)

"If you’ve been yo-yo dieting and surviving on prepackaged 'health foods' with little or no results, you owe it to yourself to read The Wild Diet. Abel James shows you how to optimize your workout, diet, and habits to take your health back into your own hands. Abel rocks a chiseled 6 pack and makes it look easy. As the owner of a 1-pack, I marvel at his lean body mass!" (Sara Gottfried, MD, New York Times best-selling author of The Hormone Cure)

"In The Wild Diet, Abel shatters conventional wisdom and gives us the truth about what it takes to be lean and healthy without obsessing about what we eat. There's a reason Abel’s Fat Burning Man show has become #1 in 8 countries and I have no doubt that The Wild Diet will be just as well received. Abel’s message is simple, pragmatic, and can get you lasting results in less time and with less effort than you’d probably expect." (Yuri Elkaim, New York Times best-selling author of The All-Day Energy Diet)

Great narrator

Makes so much sense

Abel James is a good writer, and a good presenter. This book is funny and informative. He let's us know about his personal life, while also sharing info on health and diet. This is a great book.

Loved it

Helpful

This book helped shape my workout and diet plan. it convinced me to change my lifestyle.

Life changer! Really!!

This book encompasses so many lifestyle changing nuggets that it is impossible to ignore the advice given. The Wild Diet is presented so artfully by the author Abel James. I listened to a few of his (also wonderful & intriguing) podcasts & decided to purchase the audiobook. It is the best audiobook that I have ever listened to (& I have listened to very many)! I am recommending it to so many people & I am purchasing a dozen of the hard copy books for gifts for friends. Thank you Abel, keep doing what you are doing & don't change a thing! You & your wife are truly inspiring! It's refreshing to see that the world still has people like you! :)

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.
