Hey folks, this is Abel James, and thanks so much for joining us on Fat Burning Man,

where we talk about real food and real results.

If you could change your relationship with food in just 30 days, would you do it?

Our guest today is my friend Melissa Hartwig, number one best-selling author and certified

sports nutritionist, whose books it starts with food and the whole 30 have shown many

people around the globe how to make that crucial change.

If you've ever asked yourself, how much can I get away with?

This show is for you.

Before we get to the interview, here's a great update that just

came in from the lovely Ambriel, who Allison and I met this year in Austin. She says,

finally broke through the plato that started back at the end of June. I'm officially 20 pounds

from my goal weight, and I'm hoping to reach it by my 44th birthday. Thanks to the tribe and the

wild diet, this year has been more awesome than I ever could have imagined. Sending a big thank you to Thanks to the tribe and the wild diet this year has been more awesome than I

ever could have imagined, sending a big thank you to all of the tribe for your support

throughout this journey. Congratulations, Ambril, and thanks to all of the other members of the

tribe who have helped get you there. Now you're on the home stretch. And Patty in the Fat Burning

Tribe says, I'm 58 and going in for hip replacement surgery tomorrow.

Over the past few months, I have gone from 167 to 135 and I feel great.

I'm sure this will help with recovery.

Patty, we wish you the very best of luck with your surgery.

My father actually had a hip replacement last year, and I know that throughout all of that,

my mom's actually a holistic nurse practitioner.
