Can you really lose fat while enjoying sirloin steak, chicken parmesan, chocolate, and real butter?
If you ask Kurt, the 47-year old grandpa who shed 50 pounds in 6 weeks on ABC Television by going Wild, the answer is a resounding “HECK YA!”
The Wild Diet features foodie-friendly indulgent meals that will help you program your body to burn fat instead of sugar.
Thousands of people across the world have reclaimed their health and lost 20, 50 or even more than 100 pounds with real food following The Wild Diet.

Why The Wild Diet Is #1 In America
My contestant, Kurt started at 352 pounds and 52% body fat. He finished at 265 pounds and just 30% body fat!
So Kurt lost an astounding 22% percentage points of body fat in 14 weeks with The Wild Diet, while eating delicious food and using proven fat loss techniques, like intermittent fasting. (The Wild Diet led to nearly double the fat loss of any other plan!) Jasmin, who focused on portion control and cardio with the Superfood Swap, lost 13% body fat (from 47% to 34%) – which shows some lean mass loss but still impressive. I couldn’t be more proud of both of them!
Like The Biggest Loser, this a weight loss competition, measured by percentage of body weight loss. But as I’ve mentioned before, when we’re talking about health, you want to focus on how much body fat you lose, not weight.
Many people who try to lose weight wind up losing muscle by overexercising and undereating. So always keep this in mind – lean muscle is the most important tool you have to boost your metabolism and burn more fat.
Kurt wasn’t able to run regularly because of past surgeries and injuries to his spine and knees. He did quick, functional workouts at home – like kettlebell swings and lifting water jugs – to maintain his lean muscle mass.
And we used The Wild Diet’s high fat, low carb approach to lose as much fat as possible.
Following The Wild Diet, Kurt shed 87 pounds, trimmed 10 inches from his waist, and went from 52% down to 30% body fat in just 14 weeks.
Kurt lost nearly double the amount of body fat as any other contestant on the show.
This is a HUGE win for the Wild, high fat / low carb, and Paleo communities!

Even more important, Kurt is off all of his prescription medication and feels 20 years younger. His blood sugar and blood pressure are in the healthy range, and he’s no longer obese for the first time in over 10 years!
Not to mention, Kurt was able to get these results with limited exercise, just walks outside and a bit of strength training.
I share all of this with you to hammer this message home: If you want to lose fat, focus on your diet.
If Kurt, Jasmin, Latasha, and Jeff can do it, so can you.
Another huge takeaway is that Kurt is still able to enjoy eating pasture-raised bacon, grass-fed burgers, and even our famous cheesecake to drop fat while eating outrageously good food.
This ain’t no ordinary diet.
You really can be happy and healthy at the same time.
The Wild Diet is “Simple, Fresh Ingredients… with a Bit of Fun”
I refer to my nutritional approach as “The Wild Diet” which will program your body to burn fat. You may have seen it featured on People, NPR, or getting Kurt Morgan to drop 50 pounds in just 6 weeks on ABC’s hit show My Diet Is Better Than Yours.
Simply, The Wild Diet suggests that we take a deep breath and start eating real food again. It urges you to eat the highest quality food you can find and afford.
Truth be told – my approach has always been more flexible than Paleo, certainly the idea of “popular Paleo” that seems to ignore the subject of food quality entirely. And “popular Paleo” today often puts meats at the front and center of every meal.
The Wild Diet, however, shows you how to improve your health, drop fat, and boost energy by making plant-based foods more than half your plate.
We once had access to an immense variety of seasonal foods from small, local sources. Now we have access to very few varieties of very few foods from a massive industrial system often thousands of miles from where we live.
It’s important to note the few staples of the Standard American Diet – namely corn, wheat, and soy – are not produced in such massive quantities because they’re healthy. They’re produced because they make money for Big Food.
Modern food manufacturers have overwhelmed grocery store shelves with foods that are nutrient poor, rotten, spoiled, dead, old, and contaminated with antibiotics, chemicals, and growth hormones. Essentially, we went from eating nothing but Wild foods to subsisting on the equivalent of human dog kibble.
You never see a fat wolf in the wild eating it’s natural diet. As humans, it’s time to get back to our roots. GMO’s are creepy, artificial flavors are horrifying, and selective breeding has unleashed some freakish foodstuffs upon the general public.
If selective breeding can do this to a wolf, imagine what they can do to a tomato.
Monoculture is destroying the land, generating obscene wealth for a select few, and producing “foods” that make us fat and sick.
We need to return to a system that works with the land, with nature, and with our own physiology and spirit.
Sure, it takes work to make (or find) fresh, wild, natural food these days. But the benefits for the health of our bodies and the land we inhabit are undeniable.
Here’s a small example of what you eat when you don’t pay attention…
- Think you’re better off eating foods with “natural flavor”? Chew on this: secretions from the anal glands of beavers produce a bitter, smelly, orange-brown substance known as castoreum that is used extensively in vanilla and raspberry flavoring. It’s legally labeled as “natural flavoring.” – The Wild Diet
- This is the state of affairs when you trust food manufacturers, my friends. I hope you like beaver butt.
The Wild Diet is a Paradigm for Making Healthy Decisions
The Wild Diet is not a dietary bootcamp; it is a template for making healthy eating and lifestyle decisions. But as a rule, the closer you can get to eating plants and animals that would thrive in their wild and natural habitat, the better.
Eat plants and animals that were recently alive and well.
Heirloom and heritage plants and animals are in themselves healthier as a result more nutritious then their industrial counterparts.
Imagine grain is expensive, hard physical work is necessary, and sweets are a treat. And don’t be afraid to get some dirt under your fingernails. It’s good for you.
Recently, a lot of you have been writing in to share your stories. Here are a few of my favorites. These folks have lost weight, reduced body fat, and even improved their breathing by transforming their bodies with delicious real food.
The following success stories are from regular people who want to help get the word out – real food works… and there’s no looking back!
REAL PEOPLE. REAL RESULTS.
Thousands of people across the world have reclaimed their health and lost 20, 50 or even more than 100 pounds with real food following The Wild Diet. Here are a few inspiring stories...
“A word of caution: Everything you think you know about diet and exercise is probably wrong. It’s time to change your relationship to fat, whole grains, sugar, the pizza delivery guy, and even your treadmill. The Wild Diet flies in the face of the outdated advice touted by health and wellness “experts,” and gives you real-life strategies to lose fat and get fit as quickly as possible. In a sea of marketing hype, Abel James is a powerful and authentic voice that speaks the truth.”
-Jonathan Bailor New York Times bestselling author of The Calorie Myth
“If you’ve been yo-yo dieting and surviving on prepackaged ‘health foods’ with little or no results, you owe it to yourself to read The Wild Diet. Abel James shows you how to optimize your workout, diet, and habits to take your health back into your own hands. Abel rocks a chiseled 6 pack and makes it look easy. As the owner of a 1-pack, I marvel at his lean body mass!”
-Sara Gottfried, M.D. New York Times bestselling author of The Hormone Cure
“In The Wild Diet, Abel shatters conventional wisdom and gives us the truth about what it takes to be lean and healthy without obsessing about what we eat. There’s a reason Abel’s Fat Burning Man show has become #1 in 8 countries and I have no doubt that The Wild Diet will be just as well received. Abel’s message is simple, pragmatic, and can get you lasting results in less time and with less effort than you’d probably expect.”
-Yuri Elkaim New York Times bestselling author of The All-Day Energy Diet
“The Wild Diet stands out as a flexible, enjoyable approach to weight loss that you can easily cater to your individual needs and goals—a key factor in your ability to make lasting changes. Abel’s research and personal health-hacking have culminated in a simple, comprehensive program that works for just about everyone.”
-Chris Kresser, M.S., Lac New York Times bestselling author of The Paleo Cure
“Food is medicine, and The Wild Diet’s menu is one of the most nutritionally-dense ‘medicine cabinets’ out there. Abel has done his research, and his book shows you how to apply it to your life in a very realistic way. This book will change the way you look at food and exercise. More importantly, this book can help you take control of your life.”
-Terry Wahls, M.D. author of The Wahls Protocol
“Abel James walks his talk. He gives the health movement a personal voice that is fresh, approachable, and knowledgeable. In his book, The Wild Diet, Abel shares his own journey losing 20 pounds in 40 days and shows you how to do the same. By focusing on not just what you eat, but how you eat it, Abel gives a unique perspective on how to think about our diet.”
-Alan Christianson, NMD author of The Adrenal Reset Diet
“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.”
-Alexandra Jamieson Health coach, chef, and author of Women, Food & Desire
“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.“
-Denny Hemingson Award-Winning Musical Director of the Tim McGraw Band
“Abel James gives actionable steps to reverse obesity, disease, and low-energy problems by healing the body with delicious food and quick, effective workouts. Speaking as a busy mom, these recipes not only taste great, but can help the whole family get fit as a fiddle!”
-Katie, Author of Wellness Mama Cookbook
