What is a wild diet?

At Verywell, we believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to a healthy lifestyle. Successful meal plans must be individualized and take into account the whole person. Before starting a new diet plan, check with your doctor or registered dietitian, especially if you have an underlying health condition.

What is a wild diet?

The Wild Diet is similar to the Paleo diet, but allows for a larger selection of foods and more flexibility in your eating style. Creator Abel James says that instead of eating like your Paleolithic ancestors, you should eat like your ancestors, focusing on real, whole foods rather than processed foods.

The Wild Diet focuses on whole, organic, locally grown foods, excluding whole grains. People who follow this diet eat a lot of meat, seafood, and vegetables.

7 day diet plan

The Wild Diet focuses on meat, seafood, and non-starchy vegetables, allows occasional intake of fruit and dairy, and cuts out grains entirely. This can make meal planning difficult, as grains are a staple food for many.

The following 7-day meal plan offers suggestions on what to eat on the Wild Diet. Please note that this meal plan is not comprehensive, but if you choose to follow this diet, there may be other meals that are more suited to your taste, preferences, and budget.

What can you eat

James has a book with explanations about choosing which foods to eat and which foods to avoid. Some diet promotions suggest you can eat fatty, fun foods like bacon, sausage, or sour cream. But most of these foods are "complementary foods," according to the plan. James recommends eating no more than two total servings of complementary foods per week until you reach your ideal weight.
