Fat-burning Man By Abel James (video Podcast): Real Food, Real Results.

I am very blessed to be here today with a guest who has been requested from all over the world. It's a knowledge packed show, full of wisdom, and very entertaining as well! It's Mr Joel Salatin. A self-described Christian, libertarian, environmentalist, capitalist, lunatic farmer, who produces high quality, beyond-organic meats, which are raised using environmentally responsible, ecologically beneficial and sustainable agriculture. Before we get to the show, I wanted to let you guys know about a really cool project that we have coming up in the next few weeks. It's call "The Fat-Burning Chef." Basically we  went out to all of our friends, some of the top bloggers and authors in the cooking space of the Paleo-sphere and beyond, and asked if they'd contribute to help build a book of healthy recipes that are also magnificent to look at and taste great! That's coming out in the next few weeks, and if you'd like to hear more you can follow me on Facebook, or be sure to sign up for my updates by just entering your

Today's episode is with one of the most knowledgable people in health and fitness, John Berardi of Precision Nutrition. Basically this guy knows what's up! Precision Nutrition takes people who are massively overweight, and turns them into super fit people. They understand how the body works; they understand physiology; they make it happen. They also teach some of the highest performing athletes how to perform even better through nutrition and fitness. I highly encourage you to check out their work. You can also find Dr Berardi and Precision Nutrition on Facebook, as well as Twitter. Before we get to the show, I have a quick request of you guys! I am booking up some awesome guests for the next few months on the show, but we can always use more. If there is someone you think would be totally awesome to have on the show, please email me! The best way to do that is to sign up for my email list by putting your email in below. Then just reply to that first email, let me know how I can make the show better for y

  Today's show is a really fun one with Steve Kamb, the guy behind NerdFitness.com, a super popular blog and fitness community. He's helped thousands of regular people "level up their lives" as he says, all while exercising and exploring all over the world! Now before we get to our show today with Steve, I just want to tell you guys about what's been going on behind the scenes here, and why you may have had some trouble reaching us in the past few days. I actually wrote a whole blog post about it, because it's completely crazy. You can read "How Accidentally Deleting My Subscribers Gave Us the #1 Podcast in Spain" here to get the full scoop. Basically I just want to say thank you for bearing with us, and for being such amazing supporters. Hopefully we've all learned something from the process. I'm glad we could turn lemons into lemonade! So, if you want to be sure to always know when a new podcast is up, you can put your email in below to sign up to receive my emails. Along with updates about the podcast, I'l

Today's show is with Scott Gryzbek, the proud founder and CEO of Zukay Live Foods, the makers of vegetable kvass. This is ridiculously tasty stuff! After working in the food industry for a number of years for some big players in the game, Scott found it hard to sell foods he wouldn't feed to his own kids. So instead, he started Zukay to bring the health benefits of raw, fermented vegetables back into the American diet. Today we talk about: What it was like to live paleo before paleo was Paleo. A behind the scenes look at why food manufacturers and the government create foods you wouldn’t feed your kids. How you can make fermented foods at home. And why a beer may be good for you from time to time.  Here's the show.

Today's special episode of the show is with my buddy Darryl Edwards, The Fitness Explorer. Darryl is a natural movement therapist, and Paleo clinical nutritionist based in London. After nearly two decades working in investment banking as a computer scientist, Darryl abandoned the life of a desk jockey in favor of eating delicious steak and playing outside (my kind of dude!). Just a reminder that if you enter your best email below, you'll be able to hear about all of the cool stuff we have coming up soon. We're going to be releasing some resources in Intermittent Fasting, you'll get to hear about our new cookbooks that are coming out. Plus you'll also get a free ebook for signing up and we even have some biohacking stuff coming up very soon (if you're interested in fatty coffee and things like that). We have a heck of a lot more coming down the road, so stay tuned! Today's show we talk about: What it's like being a desk jockey who gets no sleep How to integrate play into your everyday life Darryl's new book "

Today we're talking to Bill & Haley of "The Food Lover's Primal Palate." The author's of the hit cookbook "Make It Paleo" are back with a new book "Gather: The Art of Paleo Entertaining," set to be released on April 30, and it looks absolutely amazing! Shortly after that their next book "The 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking: Entire Month of Paleo Meals" will be released on June 11. Needless to say, these guys have been busy! Before we get to the show, I wanted to let you know we have a few of our own books that are available on Kindle. We are going to be getting those into printed version very soon here, but in the meantime you can go here and check out the Kindle versions on Amazon. In today's show we talk about: How to make the world's tastiest soups from bone broth What it's like to be planning their 100% Gluten-Free wedding How to feed your puppy raw food Why their dog is named "Charlie Dickens" And what it's like to eat black bear

Ori Hofmekler is a fellow renaissance man. Not only is he a world renowned artist, but he is also the author of the ground breaking Warrior Diet and many other health and fitness books. With a tagline like “Not actively surviving... is passively dying!” this guy is no joke, and is a wealth of information and knowledge. In today's show we talk about: Why human are nocturnal eaters How not eating food can improve health and performance What it's like to be a bonafide renaissance man And the critical difference between grass-fed & pastured dairy

John Romaniello (better known as Roman) runs Roman Fitness Systems with a tongue-in-cheek approach to fitness. Equal parts narcissism and self-loathing, Roman writes with passion and humor, show-casing his belief that training doesn’t need to be serious, stern, science-laden monotony. It can be fun, too. Roman stopped by The Fat-Burning Man Show before going on other shows such as Dr Oz, The Colbert Show, and a few other stops in the mainstream media. This is a fun show, but let's put it this way: it's a bit more "Tucker Max" than "Paul Jaminet." I already know this show is going to be controversial. If you're offended by colorful language, what a male at 23 years old has to say about sex (or women in general), or a few other topics that might raise some eyebrows, you may want to skip to the next show. That said, Roman is brutally honest about his transformation from a chubby kid to a model and unapologetically shares his physical, mental and emotional journey with all of us. It takes a great deal of courage,

Mira and Jayson Calton are authors, rockstars, and some of the first guests ever on the show. During an unconventional honeymoon where they crossed the world visiting over 100 countries in search of knowledge regarding the relationship between micronutrient deficiencies and public health and disease, the explored how specific dietary patterns and lifestyle choices affect development of disease around the world. In their new book, Rich Food, Poor Food, the Caltons tackle the dangerous waters of the modern-day supermarket. With intros from our friends Mark Sisson and Dr. William Davis, Rich Food, Poor Food is an essential tool to help us dodge the frankenfoods so we can get straight to the good stuff. Highly recommended! If you'd like to check out a free sample of their book, you can download it here. Also, I just got news that Fat-Burning Man was just featured in WIRED Magazine in the same breath as Tim Ferriss. For a geek like me, being in WIRED is pretty much the best thing ever... Nerd nirvana. So if you ha

Gary Taubes is an award-winning science writer and the bestselling author of the groundbreaking and controversial books Good Calories, Bad Calories and Why We Get Fat. Gary has been a contributing correspondent for the journal Science since 1993, and has contributed articles to The Atlantic Monthly, The New York Times Magazine, Esquire, and Slate. Gary studied applied physics at Harvard University, aerospace engineering at Stanford, and journalism at Columbia University. But fortunately for all of us, he's dedicated himself to tearing down conventional nutritional theory with his research, books, as well as the co-Founder of the Nutrition Science Initiative (NuSi). My first response to Gary's work in "Good Calories, Bad Calories," was giddy delight. Why? Because I believe that the underlying cause of the obesity epidemic isn't in eating too much and exercising too little. People are fat because they are malnourished and their bodies malfunction. This is a thesis I hadn't seen articulated sufficiently before d

In today's show I welcome Dr. Loren Cordain - considered by many to be the godfather of the Paleo Movement and the world's foremost scientific authority on the evolutionary basis of diet and disease.  Loren is the author of the groundbreaking, The Paleo Diet, as well as The Paleo Answer, The Paleo Diet For Athletes, and the Paleo Diet Cookbook.

We spent most of the show goofing off, but Tim drops a ton of truth bombs so listen-up. You guys will dig this one. Quick note: I just got back from speaking at Dave Asprey’s biohacking conference in San Francisco. Thanks so much to you folks who came up to say "hi."
