Drawing on evolutionary logic, scientific research, and his own personal experiences, blogger Richard Nikoley of Free the Animal (freetheanimal.com) presents a complete guide to losing weight and fat the natural way.
After many frustrating years of trying to lose weight by adhering to mainstream nutritional guidelines, Richard made a radical decision to throw the rules out. Instead of eating whole grains and lean meat, he ate what his body had always craved: animal fat, and lots of it—and the extra weight started falling away.
In Free The Animal: How To Lose Weight & Fat On The Paleo Diet, Richard shares his tips for eating, fasting, and exercising as wild humans did for millenia. Find out how to embrace your primal cravings for nutritionally dense animal fats and fiber-rich plant sources. Learn to stop listening to the “experts” and start tuning in to your body's natural signals. Richard's approach to the Paleo lifestyle will help you lose fat, gain muscle, and unleash the energy of the animal inside you.

Have you ever wondered why one guy can “eat like a horse,” stay perfectly lean, and live to age 90, while one girl “eats like a bird,” seems to always be hungry and miserable, and yet carries around 50 pounds of fat that would only be necessary if she were about to go into hibernation like a bear for a few months? (pg 8)
I dove into it, and my net weight loss rate immediately doubled. Within a few months I discovered intermittent fasting (IF) thanks to Art’s mention of it, as well as Brad Pilon, author of EatStopEat. I will address the specifics of IF later in the book, but for now, understand that it’s simply a recognition that humans are highly adapted to periods of hunger..it is theorized that short periods of hunger can actually be beneficial to our cells. Fasting is, in a word, cleansing. (pg 14)
This means throwing out your sugars, syrups, honey, and other sweeteners. Toss your bread, pasta, flour, and cornmeal. Get rid of most prepackaged items and all processed foods—frozen dinners, meal replacement bars, and of course, cookies and chips. (pg 63)
