I've adopted the Wild Diet lifestyle for the last year and had tons of fun. It's more like a common sense and science based nutrition plan. I am never hunger and burn fat for days! His podcast is awesome too

How do you know if you burn fat for days? If you are in a calorie deficit, same diff.

tryin2die2self, what is your advice for dealing with the low carb flu?

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.

well guess what? not eating wheat for me did not end up with me losing water weight ,I didnt have any flu like symptoms or any side effects,any flu like symptoms you get are usually from eating low carb/keto and eventually it goes away. or it could be the actual flu where you will lose water among other things as well. salt is still salt. some may have more trace minerals but its still salt. too much salt will cause retention. its not going to balance fluid retention its salt for petes sake

onsider joining the Low Carber Daily group. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group Most of us follow some aspects of that diet: generally low processed foods, lots of meats, eggs and full fat dairy, with carbs coming from a variety of veggies, nuts, and a few fruits.

We share your love of bacon. LOL

Define "fad" diet. I've been following a "diet" for a year now made up of high fat and low carbs. I cut out the grains and sugars, I eat a ton of avocados, bacon, coconut oil, full fat dairy, and vegetables. I've lost 20 lbs and I have kept it off. Never do I feel like I'm on a diet. This is a lifestyle change. Not only that, but I train in jiu jitsu and compete, and I have become fully fat adapted, not needing glucose to fuel my workouts. I take cues for my diet from the Wild Diet, Paleo, and Keto diets. I don't count calories, and most of the time I don't even log what I eat. I just follow the guidelines and the fat has miraculously melted away and my muscles show through. For the first time ever, I'm able to do pullups and even clapping pushups! I never get sick, my skin is clear and glows - I am reversing the aging process, as I'm 36 and look younger than I did a year ago. I will follow the lchf diet for life. I still enjoy an occasional indulgence of foods from my past, but typically I do not like how they make me feel (sick and broken), so those foods are slowly becoming unenjoyable.

My definition of a fad diet is one that is trendy and is not something that can be sustained. For me, calorie counting is a fad diet. I tried it for years - thinking that it was working. Years of eating 1200 calories a day and working out, kept me fat and unhealthy.... and I felt like I was always starving. Counting calories was all consuming and I felt like a slave to my food diary.... but hey... to each his own....

It's called "The Wild Diet". It's a fad. The name definitely defines the term, "fad".

Counting calories is not a fad nor a diet. Eating 1200 calories is pretty lame. Only mostly unknowledgable people do that. You can eat more than that and lose.

Good luck with your fad diet.

Thanks, Although Luck is not needed when over a year later it's still working for me and I'm happy, healthy and full!

Peace out. This community still sucks.

No, this community doesn't suck. You're making fanciful claims (not to mention ambiguous: "I cut out the grains and sugars" - meaning ??) and coming off as sounding very holier-than-thou. If you think the community is judgmental, I would ask: who's judging who?

You've "miraculously melted away fat" and you're "reversing the aging process" - I mean, great for your success and that you love your eating plan, but simply because other folks don't find it as magical as you do doesn't mean the community sucks.

Not holier than though. Just excited that I FINALLY found a "diet" that works for me. After 20 years of "dieting" and never reaching my goals because counting calories was too restrictive/limiting and didn't really teach me the right way to eat. I had all but given up when I learned about high fat/low carb and finally decided to cut the sugar/grains (what is there to tell on that - I don't eat them) and I focus on eating the other amazing foods that taste delicious. My appetite is naturally suppressed because I'm not craving sugar anymore. I tell everyone I know to try this "diet" because I believe in it. That's it. But anytime I've ever came on this community (been here for a while) and try to talk about any form of diet other than just counting/limiting calories, I get shot down, as if I'm doing something horrible. People need to open their minds a little. I'm not against counting calories - sometimes I do count calories for various reasons, but to lose the majority of my fat, I did not have to and I love that because I HATE counting calories. I understand that a lot of people want to do it that way - that's great for them. But for me, counting calories sucks, it takes a ton of time, and I feel enslaved to the calorie count whenever I do. I couldn't imagine counting calories for the rest of my life. That is just me. I'm sorry if I came off as holier than though...LOL (if you only knew me... I just like to help people). I just think my diet is awesome, that's all. Have you ever heard of N=1? Essentially, everyone has to do the diet that works for them. This is a thread about the Wild Diet. So yes, I'm pushing it because I think it's great! The reason I stopped participating in this community is the exact reason why I will probably make this my last post for good - because people are so closed minded. I sit back and read so many rude/hateful comments on posts all day long - anytime somebody strays from the basic "count calories" approach... anytime someone wants to try something new there's NO SUPPORT! When I finally lost the weight I tried to lose for so long by using MFP community as support, It WAS NOT here. I left and just did it on my own without anybody supporting me. That's all. I don't get the support I need. Obviously this place isn't my style. I'm ok with that. I just though I'd post on here because it was a topic near and dear to my heart, but then I get a little heated when I see unsupportive comments to the OP like "just another fad diet". If you can't post something helpful, then why post? It's not unhealthy and it's not detrimental.
