Summary

“When you really learn to appreciate fresh foods, things can taste so much better than you’re used to.” I talked about my weight loss experience a while back with my friend Abel James on his podcast Fat-Burning Man and in this episode on The School of Greatness he’s coming on as my guest to talk about his experiences in getting healthy. Abel has a pretty awesome story himself about his transition from overworked and unhealthy consultant to incredibly fit and healthy entrepreneur. Abel is an awesome guy and I got re-inspired to eat better during our conversation. I chose a clip for this 5 Minute Friday episode where he explains why every body is different and it pays to play to your natural advantages when optimizing your health.

try to run 30 miles a day and try to get as skinny as possible.

You know, so like kind of do this, do a similar thing with your diet.

I'm allergic to, or at least I have problems with olives, which sucks, but that just means

Like my brother, for instance, always had a problem with the dairy that we would get

1:28.1

And it wasn't until he worked on his organic farm when he was like fresh out of college

1:32.8

that he started eating fermented raw dairy, like cheeses that they made and yogurts, and
