So whether you're an Iron Man triathlete or you're just trying to shed a few pounds, get ready for non-run-of-the-mill cutting-edge content from Ben Greenfield Fitness.com.

Hey folks, it's Ben Greenfield here and if the audio sounds a little funny, that's because I'm podcasting to you via my portable mic from Dealer Camp down in Park City, Utah, where I'm at doing things like testing out bikes, shoes, wetsuits, and generally just having a lot of fun trying not to hack up a lung in elevation, appearing Utah.

So anyways, today we have a really interesting interview with the guy who is a proponent of a plant-based diet. I know that we've been talking about that quite a bit here at Ben Greenfield Fitness and the person who I'm interviewing in today's podcast is Dr. Douglas Graham, who eats an 80% carbohydrate-based diet of fruit and vegetables and created this into a book that's actually called the 80-1010 diet.

So look forward to an interesting interview with him. We've also got a jam-packed Q&A and a few special announcements, so let's jump right into this week's content from Ben Greenfield Fitness.com.

Special announcements.

So for those of you who want to see what I'm up to down here in Park City, head over to everymantry.com and at everymantry.com is where I publish things like videos and stories when I'm out.

Doing product reviews and checking out new and cool things like fancy bike toys. I'm actually going to go out today and I'll probably ride a handful of 10 and $15,000 bikes around Park City, Utah, so I'll be shooting videos and showing you what those type of fancy machines are all about.

Now, also just this week, I opened up revdiet.com to the general public and over at revdiet.com, you can watch a video of me explaining exactly what the revdiet is, why I designed it for fat loss and for human performance, and what exactly goes into that brand new manual that I just published that is available over there at revdiet.com.

So go check out revdiet.com. And in terms of other things, we are, of course, still interested in anybody who wants to come along with my wife and I to go do a triathlon down in Jamaica this November.

And what I'm going to do is put a discount code for that Jamaica triathlon right there on the show notes for this episode, episode number 156 at Ben Greenfield Fitness.com.

So let's go ahead and jump into this week's listener Q&A.

Hey Ben, this is Craig from Birmingham. And first, thanks so much for your help.

As you know, about six weeks ago, you and I talked after I had got my Ben Greenfield shirt and posted it on Facebook.

And I have struggled for several years with injuries, mostly foot and knee injuries.

And you put together a foam roller and strength training program that has just been great for me.

And after doing that for about five weeks now, I feel more confident and solid in my running and think that I can train as much as I want without injury.
