Chapters
Hey, you guys, what's up? It's Ben Greenfield here with my fancy hairdo and all. I just finished interviewing Abel James, author of the new book the Wild Diet, and we had a fun conversation, I gotta tell you. We talked about the nasty ingredients in pet food, even healthy pet food, and, and what you should actually be feeding your pet, whether you have a Chihuahua or a wolf. We talk about Abel's adventure pack and all the crazy things, from the type of water filters that he travels with to his little personal travel spice rack that he uses, to all the cool sleep and health packs that he uses as kind of a global traveler. How he stays healthy as he's globetrotting. Another thing that we discuss is rice and how not all rice is created equal and how some rice can be extremely nutrient dense and some can be not all that great for you and in fact, bad for you. And we talk about what real rice should actually look and taste like. We talk about fat, fasting and the concept of everything from using heavy cream to switching out stevia or sweetener infused beverages with water only to lose up to £25 in 40 days. Days, which is a pretty big load of fat when you think about it. We cover a ton in this episode. We really jump all over the place. Abel's book is fantastic and you can check out both this podcast as well as more about his book@bengreenfieldfitness.com Wild Diet that's BenGreenfieldFitness.com Wild Diet.
