Happy holidays, folks.

This is Ben Greenfield.

Welcome to the Ben Greenfield Fitness Show.

And this is a special episode, basically because we're too lazy to record a podcast on

Christmas Eve.

And simply would rather hang around in our pajamas, opening Christmas gifts and singing

Christmas songs around the crackling fire while roasting chestnuts, which I've actually

never done.

I've never roasted a single chestnut.

I'll have to add that to my list of things to do this holiday season.

Anyways, though, I do have a fantastic podcast for you today, a really cool discussion that

I had about paleo diets.

I talked to the food historian in a wild plant, wild edible plant expert about paleo diets,

and whether we actually can get away with eating things like grains and bread and legumes

and chickpeas and lentils and dairy, and if we can, why and how we can do that.

So it's a really fascinating talk.

I think you'll enjoy it quite a bit.

But before I delve into that discussion, a quick shout out to today's sponsor on it.

Now there are four different kinds of kettlebells that you can use.

And if you didn't know about kettlebells, they are one of the most potent fat burning

metabolism boosting fitness bestowing gifts that you can give to yourself this holiday season.

There's a howler.
