009 Eat Happy Kitchen Table Talk: Abel James

How to have fun being a health nut.

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

  • The Continous Glucose Monitor (CGM) and how to use it to break confirmation bias (Nutrisense can be found here, FreeStyle Libre 2 here)

  • Stress, cortisol, and carbs—the shitstorm triumvirate!

  • Fasting, men vs. women

  • Emotions and cortisol

  • Why tiny workouts rule

As always, here’s a crazy computer generated transcript of our conversation.
