You are what you eat. One of the oldest sayings will always ring very true, but its incomplete. What you _want_ to eat is every bit as important. No, feeling hungry and eating till your full isn't all there is to it, even if your a raw food vegan or whatever else. Your bodies nutritional requirements change by the minute. Although the perfect diet may exist, its never the same for the same person twice. Instinctive Nutrition fills the void left by so many contemporary diets and teaches us how to retune ourselves to an evolutionary "6th sense" that has largely been forgotten or bastardized by modern eating habits. This is a foundational book that you can use to have better success no matter what your diet choices may be.

An important note too is that Instinctive Nutrition is full of practical information that you can put to use instantly. Schaeffer is an excellent writer which makes the book and the information within a fun and compelling read. As others have said you need no other book about Instinctive Nutrition other than this one. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a better understanding of diet and health.

P.S. To whomever wrote all the side notes in my used copy: Thank You! It was like I was reading along with a study buddy, a funny one. :)

Step by step author clearly untangles the most confronted issue:"Human nutrition and its relation with health/disease".Brightly written and clearly explained

the only book on nutrition and raw food that you will ever need. explains the taste change and how to know what your exact needs are. culled from author's experience living in a french raw food community. his death was truly tragic. has not been reprinted and will likely stay out of print. none of the newer books even come close. get a copy while you can, it is truly a collector's item. give yourself a chance for life, and read this book. there is no recommendation i can give higher than this one.

that being said, i do have a complaint. however, it does not alter my gratitude and respect for the author. my complaint is his overuse of animal foods. take what you want and leave the rest.

may you live all the days of your life.
