The Wild Diet

twenty-year reign as Tim s guitarist and musical director, introduces us to the rest of the band.

Fresh off his feature on the cover of Men s Health after losing 40 pounds, forty-seven-year-old Tim McGraw is a specimen of health. He credits his pumped-up biceps and six-pack abs to his band s new routine of clean eating and intense outdoor workouts on the road. His tour bus even pulls a trailer dedicated to unconventional exercise gear hauling heavy chains, sledgehammers, and sandbags across the country.

Whoa, the Fat-Burning Man. . . . It s so surreal you re here! Deano, the fiddle player, muses, somehow expressing precisely how I feel at that moment. I m not sure exactly when it happened, but more people seem to know me as Fat-Burning Man, the tongue-in-cheek title of my hit health show, than as the road-weary musician I ve been for most of my life. I d taken time away from music to focus on inspiring others to live better by eating real food and breaking a good sweat. As far as I was concerned, I was just a regular guy babbling into a microphone on my computer and doing my best to make my show valuable to whoever happened to be tuning in. It wasn t until I received my favorite thank-you note ever from a musician named Denny that I realized people were actually listening. Better yet, these newfound health nuts were actually getting results that blew my mind.

A loyal listener of Fat-Burning Man, Denny has been following the Wild Diet for more than a year. Enjoying hearty meals that include plenty of butter, bacon, and eggs, he s dropped 46 pounds. Impressed by Denny s transformation, several bandmates came along for the ride.

Billy, our keyboard player, only decided to try the Wild Diet because he s allowed to eat coffee cake.

This isn t your typical diet book. Abel doesn t tell you to stop loving food, to give up chocolate, or to completely slash entire food groups.  Instead, The Wild Diet shows you how to lose fat while satisfying your personal cravings.  (Yeah, there are some yummy recipes in there-- even desserts!)   This is so important because, like everything else in life, change is inevitable and this is one dogma that easily adapt to your body s needs.

When I found myself overweight and struggling with my health despite doing my best to follow all the current dietary dogma of the day, I started seeking some alternatives.  Somehow I landed on a podcast called "The Fat Burning Man Show." The host, Abel James, was telling his story and it sounded like he had peaked at my diary.  Everything he spoke about resonated with me. I began incorporating the principals of The Wild Diet into my own life and fifty pounds later, I'm a different man. 
When I reached out to Abel to say "thanks for the great info" I got more than just "you're welcome."  I made a new friend.  I can tell you that Abel is the real deal.  He lives The Wild Diet. The Wild Diet isn't the latest fad diet book designed to line the author's pockets only to regurgitate the same old, tired eat less and exercise more mantra.  It's a comprehensive, no nonsense guide to healthy living.  It's packed full of common sense that our grandparents or great-grandparents knew but somehow we've forgotten.  Abel has re-discovered these truths and he shares them all right here in this book plus more.
