Got mine. Easy Weekend Read. Very well organized, written & thought-out. Packed with informational -type nutrition (on nutrition)! I have learned a load about what goes on in my body that I had no idea about. Good science writing on the processes/chemistry, without being over-your-head technical (but enough for the technophiles). Great resource I'm sure I will be using regularly as I start this new life-style...
If you are new to Paleo, like I am, I highly recommend this book. Many "Ah Ha!" -moments as you read. It just seems so simple & staring-us-in-the-face now: Eat what you Evolved to eat. Duh. ::Hand > Face:: Pretty clear to see the connections & the misconceptions/misinterpretations when laid-out as they are here. Things are making sense here.
The book clearly outlines the ideas behind it, the history of the ideas & their proponents, where the debates & gray areas lie, as well as a healthy amount of studies referenced to either back up Paleo living, or to make you go "Hmmm" about traditional western diets & what is REALLY causing the wide-spread heart disease & diabetes that run rampant today. Stop buying (most)food that comes from boxes & fast food boxes! Eat what is natural, least-processed & most pure. So simple.
The food is also GREAT! Tasty & satisfying, but it will take some adjusting & Discipline, especially in the beginning (boy, those bread & cookies look good...), but the book helps by outlining the good/bads, and laying out clear examples, as well as lots of easy recipes. I am still (very)early on in my Paleo journey, but I have already seen positive changes just a couple weeks in as far as digestion, allergies/respiratory & energy levels/hunger. And you can still eat (uncured/gress-fed)Bacon! Need I say more? ;)
Get this book and Make The Change!
Much thanks to Neely & Jason at paleoplan dot com for their excellent web site, Paleo meal-planning services & this book!

This work is a simple, straightforward easy-to-read intro into this way of eating. There are also some nice recipes and good general "dos and don'ts" that will be helpful to the reader.

This was a very user friendly introduction of the Paleo life style. Not too heavy on anecdotes or technical jargon-- the chapters were concise and interesting, as well as easy to follow. I found myself tagging many pages w/Post-Its to be able to refer back quickly to various topics.

Using the Paleo diet means you have $'s
There was nothing wrong with the diet itself. However if you're going to be on this diet, you'd better have lots of money to buy the foods you need. Read more
