Back again is the king of biohacking, Dave Asprey, the Bulletproof Executive. Since Dave was last on my show, Bulletproof coffee has blown up, Dave's churned out a few more books, been featured on CNN, and he's put together a biohacking conference in San Francisco. Not too shabby for a few month's work. I'll be presenting on how to improve mental performance with music (following-up on my first book, The Musical Brain). If you'd like to come biohack with the coolest toys nerds like us have ever seen, check out the biohacking conference here. In today's show, Dave and I cover: How you can improve your mental performance with smart drugs (nootropics) The surprising foods Abel’s immune system does not tolerate according to the Mediator Release Test Why Bulletproof Coffee is brain food How the Bulletproof Diet reduces exposure to inflammatory toxins And why eating sushi – with the rice – dipped in a big tub of guacamole and covered in salt is a great idea Sweet!

Joining us today is an author and the host of Livin' La Vida Low Carb, the one and only Jimmy Moore. We all have something to learn from Jimmy Moore. Starting off at more than 400 pounds, he lost over 100 pounds with a low-fat, high carb, calorie-restricted diet. But it didn't stick - the weight came back with shocking efficiency. Then he went low-carb and had great success, dropping 180+ pounds with minimal effort and misery (compared to low-fat dieting, at least). Although the weight stayed off for years, the scale continued to creep up. Low-carb stopped working, and despite countless consultations with experts in diet and fitness, very few had solutions. So what did Jimmy do? He kept trying. And, as he'll remind you, he's tried just about everything to maintain a lean, healthy lifestyle. Dabbling in the fringe? Eating butter by the stick? Egg yolks covered in cream cheese and guacamole??? Sounds like my kind of diet. Since his first appearance on the show, Jimmy has burned off another 60+ pounds in 7 months pioneering this extremely high-fat weight loss strategy known as nutritional ketosis. It's working! The Moral of the Story We never have it all figured out. Even if a nutritional or exercise strategy seems to work for a time, optimizing your body is a lifelong journey. And everyone's body - and journey - is unique. Jimmy succeeds because he is extremely persistent, strong, and open to innovative solutions. Congrats, Jimmy! We wish you all the success in the world. Here's the Show In today's show we chat about: How Jimmy used nutritional ketosis to lose 60.4 pounds in 7 months How eating avocados, cream cheese, and heavy cream can help you lose fat How to lose weight while traveling the world Why protein might actually be preventing you from burning fat Enjoy!

Today's show is with the brilliant Paul Jaminet, author of The Perfect Health Diet and perfecthealthdiet.com. After having Paul on the show a few months ago, I was happy to touch upon some of the cheekier topics this time around, including the health benefits of drinking, why eating white rice won't kill you, and, of course, fecal transplants. Now, if I had to recommend one book on optimizing your health, The Perfect Health Diet is it. In fact, my nutritional strategy (The Wild Diet) is actually closer to the Perfect Health Diet than it is to Paleo/Primal. This is required reading, folks. Paul's content is tirelessly researched and his nutritional approach is balanced, reasonable, and easy to implement into your life.

Last Sunday, I was chillaxing and watching football when I opened this bomb from Apple: Subject: iTunes Store Podcast Rejected Notification Dear podcast owner, The following podcast has not been included in the iTunes podcast directory. Name: Fat-Burning Man by Abel James: Real Food, Real Results. Feed URL: http://feeds.feedburner.com/FatBurningManPodcast Submissions may not be included in the directory for a variety of reasons. For more information, please see the podcast technical specification at http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/techspecs.html. Sincerely, The iTunes Store Team Um, what? Curious, I clicked iTunes show link and was presented with this: Crap. Then the flood of emails came. "WHERE'S YOUR SHOW?!?" Not only were my many thousands of listeners unable to listen, they couldn’t even find me on iTunes. My show was gone. Vanished. Kaput. I was shocked, befuddled, pissed. Gritting my teeth (and missing my football game), I wrote this: Hello, My podcast has hundreds of 5 star reviews and 100,000+ monthly listens and regularly ranks in the top 10 (and often #1) in health. Apple has featured my show on multiple occasions. Can you please help me understand what happened and how I can get my podcast resubmitted? Everything was fine and the podcast was doing very well until this morning when I received the email saying that it is no longer listed in the iTunes store for a reason yet unknown. If there is an issue with my content, my artwork, my feed, or anything else, please let me know and I will fix it immediately. Please let me know who I can e-mail/speak with to take care of this. Please call if it's more convenient - I'm at 512-###-####. Best Regards, Abel Ah, the saga begins... I appreciate Apple having a platform like a podcast to make it easier for little guys like me to bring my show to the masses. But over the next few days, Apple was NOT helpful. It's almost like they were TRYING not to help me. But they did throw me these gems: Abel, as I informed that podcast are removed on very rare occasion. I am sorry but I do not know why your podcast was removed from iTunes Store. I'm sorry, but the iTunes Store normally doesn't provide assistance by telephone. Thank you for your understanding and patience. Apple appreciates your business. I'm sure you do. I spoke with more than a half dozen Apple employees, all of whom claimed to know nothing about how to get my show back and said there wasn't anything I could do about it. Several Apple employees recommended I start over with a new show. I want to say thanks to the many fans who spammed Apple on Facebook, Twitter, and e-mail to get my show back. Some of you even started organizing a petition! You guys are amazing. It was a crappy experience to be sure, but your support, as always, is absolutely inspiring. So after more than 2 days of bombarding Apple with pissed off rants, my show mysteriously popped back up on iTunes. I lost my ranking in the top charts, but we’ll get them back.

Today's show is with David Garcia, the blogger behind KeepItUpDavid.com, a protege of Richard Simmons, and one of the "slim" few who has not only lost 165 pounds but kept them off for over 2 years. And - get this - David was actually the first guest ever on The Fat-Burning Man Show. It was a pleasure to reconnect and hear that David is finding new ways to keep himself entertained, motivated, and happy. What Losing 165 Pounds Looks Like To put David's accomplishment into perspective, David shed my entire bodyweight. All of the space and mass that I occupy in this universe was lost from David's frame. For you visual learners, losing 165 pounds looks like this: But shedding weight is the "easy" part... Keeping it off that requires just as much effort without the incremental payoffs of steadily losing. That's one of the main reasons why 97% of people fail to maintain long-term weight loss. But David's doing it! How, you ask? Listen to the show to find out! David and I chat about: Why 97% of people fail to keep the weight off, but David succeeds Why you should not weigh yourself every day How you can avoid falling into old habits after reaching your weight goal Why Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, and models experience moments when they hate their bodies How it felt to be the 400 pound man on an airplane What you can do to avoid steady weight gain as you age And tons more...

Today is a very special show with real life gluten-free success story, Alyson Bridge, an amazing cook and author of the just-released 50 Wholesome Gluten-Free Desserts. You listeners have asked for special episodes with real folks who have experienced results in fat loss and health improvement. After the overwhelming positive feedback when I had my mom, Angie Bascom, on the show, I decided you folks might enjoy listening to the lady behind the Fat-Burning Man. Alyson is my girlfriend and proud co-pilot of the camper van. As you may know, we uprooted ourselves 4 months ago to adventure around the country with our dog Bailey (of Paleo Puppy fame). We've been home for 3 days - whew! It was a wild ride. Even though we were preparing meals in a van, other peoples' houses, or, often, while barreling down the highway at 60 miles an hour, we ate extremely well. We visited local organic farms (including my brother's farm in New Hampshire) and natural grocery stores along our travels, gathering fresh fruits and veggies and delicious pastured meats. We picked wild blueberries, huckleberries, and cranberries in New Hampshire, traveled to Maine to eat the lobsters straight from the sea, savored grass-fed beef and wild boar in Colorado, and ate fresh organic grapefruit from the orchard in Arizona. While at my parent's place in New Hampshire (thanks mom and dad), Alyson and I commandeered the kitchen and whipped up over 35 desserts in order to snap pictures for our new cookbook: 50 Wholesome Gluten-Free Desserts. We JUST RELEASED the eBook, so be sure to grab a copy for HALF OFF for the next week - just in time for the holidays! So, I have a confession to make. I eat a ton of desserts. Desserts that would make any fat-fearing nutritionist wag her finger in my face. And it’s all Alyson’s fault. But somehow – despite savoring flaky pies, donuts fried in bacon fat, gooey cookies, and “worse” – Alyson and I have never looked or felt better. What’s our secret? We eat real food. We stay away from gluten, additives, chemicals, and other nonsense. We stick to quality ingredients and make almost everything from scratch. Ginger snaps made with ginger. Cupcakes made with beets. Muffins made with sweet potatoes! Cobbler made of green vegetables! Woah! There’s food in there! Alyson is a talented lady, and I’ve been honored to taste just about every single one of these desserts. Usually more than once. That’s a lot of dessert, you may say! Well, I’d highly recommend you try them all, too. So what are my favorites? I’m glad you asked. The apple cider donuts, rum balls, pumpkin pie, and cheesecake are all tied for the #1 dessert of all time. And the raw milk ice cream, dark chocolate coconut truffles, cupcakes covered in cookie dough… I have to stop here. All this writing about Alyson’s delicious desserts is making me salivate. But remember: indulgence is good for the body and the soul. Taking pleasure in what you eat is essential. And cookies soothe the savage beast. Check out the 50 Wholesome Gluten-Free Desserts eBook below. Happy cooking! In today’s show, Alyson and I discuss: How she went from exercising hours a day to minutes a week - and lost fat! How she cured flaky skin, cleared acne, lost weight, healed stretch marks, and stopped getting cavities by going gluten-free Why you should stop counting calories and start eating lots of fat How to conquer your trigger foods to avoid binging Tips to help you to get started in the kitchen Why xylitol is the bomb Why women shouldn’t be afraid of weights How to eat real food on the road And TONS more!
