I started the Wild Diet five days ago. Love where it is going. Is anyone else out there on it or one of it's Paleo cousins? If so, I would like to be your friend. If you are not but are interested, then I would like to be your friend.
That said, if you are not on those kinds of diets but would like to be a friend... I am down for that too
However, I don't want to stear a low fat diet person onto a road of bacon and butter fat for breakfast. Which are two of the four things I had this morning

I bought the book and it just came in a few days ago. On page 70 something. I love what I'm reading so far. I've never been one to be anti-processed foods but his book is evidence-based and he pulls from some good resources. It has been making me think twice about certain foods and reading some of ways they process our food and the chemicals involved, made my stomach turn.0

My overactive imagination is conjuring images of what the wild diet must be...so I'm leaving now.0

I was hooked when I read about Pet duet in his book. I have fed my standard poodles prey model raw for 2 years! He doesn't explain anything and his dirt is unbalanced but he is on the right track!
I did, however, cringe when he said to feed puréed vegetables to replace stomach contents of the prey. Wolves shake the contents out. They are after the digestive enzymes not the vegetable matter... Duh, feed green tripe. And the dehydrated liver, dogs need bone with that so they don't get rocket butt!!!
I fasted yesterday for 16 hours and it was not miserable at all! I love eating!
I experimented with farm fresh bacon wrapped avacado... OMFGOSH!!!!0 -
I bought the book, not done reading yet. I watched the show, "My diet is better than yours." I've been watching podcasts, and have noticed that now that I am putting off eating until later, I am not as hungry. I am excited, and losing weight....finally! I have thought all along that "a calorie is a calorie", and "eat less, you will lose weight", was bologna! It sure wasn't working for me. I would love to connect with others thinking the same way.0

I have been transitioning into a paleo/wild diet this week. I have already lost two pounds and that's even with being a grumpy PMS lady that doesn't want to go to the gym and be around other people. Doing the 30 day multi-challenge app for squats, planks, sit ups, push-ups and that's basically it. I would love to connect with others doing similar things.0
-
I just got my book in the mail and have begun reading it, I like what I am reading thus far, it makes a lot of sense. I haven't "started" this diet yet, but definitely plan to as soon as I am done reading. Would love to connect with others dong the same! Feel free to add.0

Hey everyone! Haven't officially started the Wild Diet, but I just bought the book and have been reading it. However, since 12/29/15 I've been doing low carb, high fat and have lost almost 25 lbs!0

Big fan of Abel and the wild diet, taking adds from like-minded. 0

Abel James has a podcast called "the Fat Burning Man"...his voice is dreamy! And I love the diet. Just started IF based on the principles outlined in the book and the weight is finally coming off. Bulletproof coffee is great, also. Don't fear the fat! We need it!

Living wild, wild diet2 -
I have not come over to the boards in some time and noticed my old feed. Able's "Wild Diet" has become a recent edition to the mainstream media diet trend. Basically it boils down to cutting out processed foods, eating the most nutrient dense food for the cal/macro load and body confusion. Exercise is really optional. That said, exercise is really to increase your overall health. If you lose weight because you do it then it is just a bonus. Body confusion is going through cycles of eating as usual, intermittent fasting and 24 hour fasting (eating supper and then not eating again until supper). It works a lot like muscle confusion, but for your digestive system.
A lot of people will see significant weight loss in their first week and will probably pick up Paleo/Wheat Flu. The weight loss is really you body purging all the waste/water. The "flu" is due to your body's addiction to wheat, sugar and/or processed crap that has leached its way into our diet. Dave Aspey found a way to lessen the paleo flu and it does work. After that, you can see a steady loss of one to three pounds a week. I did not watch calories. I used MFP to log foods just so I can keep up with what I am eating.
For all those trolls looking to go swoop in on someones diary and pull it apart: be my guest. I use a diary as just that, a diary. It is not a legal ledger. If I get a particular food item and I don't see it on the list, I pick something as close as I can. That could mean some fast food restaurant is listed for a "Garden Chicken Salad". I abstain from bread and soda, though I did have a homemade biscuit Sunday and shared a Coke Zero with my spouse having BBQ (the water there was just gross, though the bbq was great). You want a journal that reads like a general ledger, go somewhere else. If you want to ask questions about what works, what does not work, what was a success and what was a failure in diet/exercise... please feel free to message me.
Have a good one. 2 -
tryin2die2self, what is your advice for dealing with the low carb flu?0
-
I have found that the surest way to gain weight is to go on a diet. If you want to loose weight and get healthy you need to adopt a new lifestyle, not just a fad. Very few can "stick" to a diet plan for more than a few months, then they start slipping and before you know they have gained all their weight back and then some. Learn to prepare good tasting healthy foods, and shun the things that are not healthy, over time even the thought or a cheeseburger will make you feel bad. There is no easy road to healthy, its about wanting to, deciding to, and then just doing. What you eat, how much you exercise and by exercise I do mean both strength and Cardio on a regular schedule. You must be prepared, to commit to the new lifestyle and stick with it.2

David Aspry, a biohacker and inventor BulletProof coffee, broke it down simply as fluid retention behind a membrane. Alcohol causes your fluid retention levels to expel water from your cells, which causes dehydration and the main reason for the "hangover". When you come off of wheat, your body's ability to control fluid levels behind a membrane is thrown out of wack. Your body starts to dump water. One of the signs this is occurring is the initial weight loss that is mostly water. The flu-like symptoms appear because this fluid retention is out of wack in your brain.
Solution: Pink Himalayan Sea Salt. Take 1/2 teaspoon in 8 oz of water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Wait at least 10 to 15 minutes before you ingest anything else. The salt will help balance out fluid retention. This will alleviate the symptoms, if not cure them outright in a day or three.2 -

Asprey is a snake oil salesman. Apparently, biohacking is defined by going on TRT and attributing your gains to magical coffee.0 -

We have taken the term diet and turned it into something else. If you ask what the diet is of a brown bear, a feral swine or an "unladen swallow", you get a set answer. You ask the same question of a human, your answers will vary not only from region to region but house to house. We have taken diet and make it whatever we can consume, never mind the consequences.
The Wild Diet and the BulletProof Diet look to break that cycle. It is more than what you eat, but it is also the relationship with your food. Exercise. Mental well being. Body fitness. If you are in anything for a temporary fix, you are going to get temporary results. To expect anything else would just be crazy. Yet they sell crazy every day in the media stream and people consume it. Making no real change they simple pay into a cycle akin to a purge and binge. They are then left to wonder why.0 -

I honestly don't drink his magical coffee (I don't make that kind of coin) but I do drink fatty coffee. However, his analysis of "paleo flu" has been backed by the medical community. I have tried the pink Himalayan sea salt and it worked for me. It has also worked for a few other people I have passed the info along to.0 -
I have found that the surest way to gain weight is to go on a diet.
Sadly, I read that same conclusion in a scientific paper. Obviously we are all hoping to withstand any hormone driven impulses we have once we get to goal weight.

The Wild Diet IS a lifestyle change. It is not some short term plan. Maintenance happens all on its own, just stick to the principles.0
