I love talking to interesting people, and it’s even better when I have a 10 year history with that interesting person. Abel has a fantastic podcast that you all should subscribe to: The Fat Burning Man Show, plus he’s the author of bestseller The Wild Diet, and he really really loves food, which means we will never run out of things to talk about. Follow him on twitter to keep up with all that he’s putting out there to help the whole food/slow food/low carb cause.
We cover:
How to bring people together with food
The lost art of the potluck
Connecting with local restaurants
How to look for less expensive healthy food
The power and simplicity of starting over
How to handle those super strong cravings
