"Perhaps the most effective strategy in losing fat is to stop eating manmade, processed food products and start eating real food. Real food is perishable. If it can last on the shelves for extended periods of time or comes in a box, be wary. Modern food manufacturers have overwhelmed store shelves with foods that are nutrient poor, rotten, spoiled, dead, old, and contaminated with antibiotics, chemicals, and growth hormones. Refining has also brought us spectacularly cheap, pervasive, and fattening ingredients: namely white flour, white sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and industrial seed oils. These fake foods distort your appetite and cause you to consume more calories than you require. This perpetuates a vicious cycle of stuffing your face but never feeling totally satisfied or nourished. Adding sugar, fat, and salt to processed foods is trickery that masks low-‐quality ingredients. If something is too sweet,... dripping in oil, or too salty, it’s probably compensating for something and certainly not worth putting in your mouth."
That was one of my favorite quotes from “The Wild Diet”
I shared the book cover for Abel James' ebook yesterday and it got quite a bit of attention. These pictures are Abel's before & after photos. Sorry the first one is blurry. It probably would've been if I'd taken it too ;)
Anyway, back to the book.... Abel's approach has always been more flexible than Paleo. He shares that he's a dairy fiend and even enjoys sprouted grains and legumes when he's in the mood. That is why he now refers to his nutritional approach as “The Wild Diet.” Simply, The Wild Diet suggests that we take a deep breath and start eating real food again.
