Has anyone tried The Wild Diet? Is it effective? Any help would be helpful.

    It looks like a spin on Paleo. If you're willing to give up certain foods, it could be a way to create a calorie deficit. But it also looks like it includes some foods that it would be easy to over-eat (at least for some people).

    Any diet that cuts foods such as white flour, white sugar, high fructose corn syrup and industrial seed oils from corn and soy, sounds good to me.
    I'm high good carb and avoid those foods anyway.

    This guy at my work is on this fad diet now. The other two he tried didnt work. He told me he puts butter or something wildly ridiculous like that in his coffee with this one. He probably will fail at this one too. I dont even get into it with him anymore. After the 2nd fad diet he got on i told him about how he can just weight his food count calories and eat less calories than his body burns to lose weight/fat. He snickered and told me no thanks...

    There's nothing wrong with any carbs at all, regardless of if someone refers to them as 'bad'. You're fine here.

    It's relatively similar to keto. There are quite a few keto-ers around- myself included!

    My husband and I just started the wild diet yesterday. It appears to be a combination of paleo and the whole30 plans. My husband loves that he can still eat steak and bacon cheese burgers and doesn't even miss the bun. I gave him hard boiled pasture raised eggs today and he said they were better than regular eggs. I've been eating clean for a while so it's not that big of a stretch, but we are eating the highest quality, farm ingredients. However, that can get very expensive. We still have eat out days, we just eat at farm-to-table restaurants. My goal is that we each lose 10 pounds in the next 30 days although the plan boasts that you can lose 20 pounds in 40 days. Feel free to friend me and follow my progress!

    I read the book and listen to the podcasts. Tried it for a while but found myself becoming super low on energy due to lack of carbs. Starting wanting to gorge on sugar at the end of the day. The recipies are delicious.

    It's another rendition of the Paleo diet and too restrictive for my personal preference.

    Is it effective? Sure, like any other diet, if you stay in an energy deficit you will lose weight/fat, if you don't then no it won't. Don't confuse the how and why as it pertains to the question of will a diet work or not work for you.

    There is nothing special about it in and of itself. You have to ask yourself, does it align with my own personal preference? If yes, do it, if no, do not.

    Adherence is the #1 factor with success or failure.

    I have been following it since April 9th, though not super strictly (example: I have cheat meals once or twice/week, also, I just realized the other day that most of the dark chocolate I was eating has soy in it :( ). I've lost about 10 lbs without fretting over calorie counting, and have (amazingly) curbed my otherwise out-of-control sweet tooth (a MAJOR coup for me) for the first time in my life. All of this while dealing with some pretty stressful, life-changing stuff in my personal life (which would usually spell grabbing for sweets & starchy comfort foods and weight gain). Win/Win, if you ask me. I'm now onto the next 30 days & working on adding more exercise.
