Hi folks, this is Abel James and thanks so much for listening to Fat Burning Man, the show with a funny title that has cool

health and lifestyle hacks that can get you real results. So on this show, I'm super stoked to bring on one of my friends from Austin, his name's Chaz and he is a

man beast of freak of nature in the best sense and we're gonna talk about his journey

going and placing into and actually winning a piece of his first ever bodybuilding

competition, the Texas shredder. He placed in it for the first time using a totally unconventional

fat-based approach. We'll talk about that in a second. Before we get there, let's go to the review of the week from Amanda.

She says, interesting, practical, and life-changing information. A friend directed me to Abel's website after he found tremendous success with improving his

health on the wild diet. I was hooked immediately. I read the book in a couple hours and started listening to podcasts almost every day. I feel fantastic.

Abel has a genuinely caring and kind demeanor and is funny. I love listening to the podcasts and I feel like I learned something or find inspiration from each one.

I enjoy the differing perspectives from the guests he interviews, including women. I like that there is a variety of suggestions so if something isn't working for you, you can tweak it within the framework of paleo.

The exercise recommendations are helpful and manageable. Burning fat without hours of cardio? Yes, please. My husband's migraines have stopped as well as digestive problems.

We have both dealt with. Thank you to Abel and everyone behind the scenes. We have never felt better. Keep it up. Thank you, Amanda, and thank you for thanking the people behind the scenes. There are plenty of them and I'll just take a second to thank them right now.

First off, my wife, Allison, does so much. I wouldn't be able to do any of this without her. Our mascot is Bailey, the dog is 70 pound Labrador Retriever with way too much energy. She helps keep us all fit.

There is Melinda and Tyler and Peter behind the scenes. You guys are freaking awesome. I couldn't do any of this without you.

Let's go to the show with Chaz. Chaz Brenham has coached some of the world's greatest athletes, executives and early stage entrepreneurs. He began his career in the fitness industry helping college and professional athletes find tune their abilities in the off season.

We get a lot of questions about ketosis, low carb living and losing fat as quickly as possible. I couldn't think of anything better than to bring on a friend of mine who has first-hand experience trying some of my crazy stuff.

Where you talk about Chaz's journey of going from 215, I mean, Chaz is a big guy. He looks like four. 215 pounds and 12% body fat to 179 pounds and 3% body fat.

In just 14 weeks by eating butter and bacon and other super high fat things, he did it through high fat cyclical ketogenic dieting down to 3% skeletal body fat and actually placed in his first ever bodybuilding competition.

Drug free, totally awesome. I think you're going to lie Kang and out with Chaz. He's certainly one of a kind and one of my close friends. So enjoy this show. Let me know what you think.

This episode is brought to you by Wild Superfoods. Let's start with a quick question. Do health supplements really work?

After testing many hundreds of tonics, supplements, powers and potions over the past seven plus years, my wife, Allison and I have found very few companies that we actually trust.

Massive, faceless corporations seem to be running the show, often prioritizing profits well above our collective health.
