CaveTalk: Abel James

We're back with a brand new edition of CaveTalk! This week we chatted it up with the Fat Burning Man himself Mr. Abel James. Certainly a jack of all trades when it comes to the Paleo world, many of you probably know him from his popular website, his highly rated Podcast or one of his great books! And if not maybe you've stumbled across a few of his shirtless photos out there (if not please see below)! Enjoy! LIVEtheFIT: For those that may not be familiar with you can you give us a little background on yourself and how you came to find the Paleo/Primal lifestyle?  Abel James: Growing up in the middle of nowhere on a defunct farm in New Hampshire, I've always been interested in health with an appreciation for eating and living as nature intended. My mother is a holistic nurse practitioner, so whenever I came down with a bug she'd whip out smelly balms, tinctures, and herbal tea instead of pill popping, so I learned a bit about natural health and medicine outside of the convention of the doctor's office.

But when I was in my early 20's, my health was faltering. After years of being a vegetarian, eating a low fat, low cholesterol diet and jogging more than 30 miles a week, I found myself getting fatter and sicker every time I went into the doctor's office. I had high blood pressure, digestive problems, a broken thyroid (we couldn't raise my body temperature above 96 degrees for years), an inflamed face, and a chubby mid-section. My doctor's solution was to 1) restrict calories even more, 2) run more, 3) and start on more than a half dozen medications to "improve my health."

Then I came home one night and my apartment building was engulfed in a 30 foot wall of flames. Save the clothes I was wearing, I lost everything. Then my health REALLY started to suffer. I immediately came down with the flu, couldn't sleep, passed excruciating kidney stones, and basically fell apart. With my life in shambles, I hoped at least I could get my health in order by figuring out how my body works myself - clearly my doctor wasn't helping.

So I spent the next few years scouring medical journals, underground bodybuilding magazines, and every nutrition and exercise book I could find searching for the truth. I learned that just about everything I thought I knew about nutrition, fitness, and health was wrong. So I started doing the opposite of what my doctor told me... and I lost 20 pounds in just over a month and nearly all of my health issues disappeared. I was stunned at how easy it was and how healthy I became so rapidly.

LTF: What happened to inspire you to begin helping others discover this real food lifestyle and begin your website fatburningman.com?

AJ: Once I transformed my body and life by following the dietary and fitness protocols I developed, I had to share them. Now more than ever, the world deserves to know that everyone has the right to be healthy and happy... and if you follow the right advice, eat real food, and stick with it, ANYONE can do it!

LTF: Your website is not the only thing you have going on these days in fact you are one incredibly busy man among the many you have authored the book The Wild Diet, you host the weekly (#1 rated) Podcast the Fat Burning Man Show, you co-authored the cookbook Caveman Feast with your friend (and fellow CaveTalk interviewee) George Bryant of Civilized Caveman, you also run an online community called the LeanBody Community, can you tell us a little bit about these projects and how you manage to fit it all in? Is there one project or success that you are more proud of?

AJ: Sure, I love being busy. The Wild Diet is my easy-to-read manifesto about how my readers can be healthy and happy by eating real food and training like a human should. Caveman Feast is a collection of over 200 of the best Paleo recipes on the planet, and the LeanBody Community is a safe Facebook and web community where my fat-burning coaches and I help others with any issues, questions, and struggles that come along the way in the journey to the best health of their lives. I manage to fit it all in because I love coffee! :)

LTF: I think most people can relate to your journey to be a fat burning man, what advice can you give to readers who may be struggling with weight issues?

AJ: That YOU CAN DO IT! It's not a matter of being miserable and working against your body like you see on most of the shows on TV, most magazines, and the majority of physical trainers, it's about working WITH your body to nourish it, heal, and build a solid frame that can help you reach your personal potential. Don't too caught up in learning everything at the beginning - the most important step is taking action. Find an author or coach who resonates with you and get to it!

LTF: What is the one thing you would tell someone who is just beginning to think about this lifestyle that you think is either the most important or the most commonly misunderstood in comparison to the standard American diet?

AJ: That real food matters far more than counting calories, macronutrients, workouts, or anything else. If you just focus on eating real foods as close to nature intended that were recently alive and well, everything else will fall into place.
