Should we all go gluten-free? Is the Paleo Diet a surefire solution to weight loss? Are meat and dairy dangerous? With all the nutrition data flying around these days, it’s a wonder we can ever decide what’s for dinner. But amid the chaos of health facts and myths is the central truth that what you eat can make a major difference in the quality of your life.

To help you navigate through the confusing sound bites, nutritionist Jennifer Swallow, MS, RDN, LDN, serves up cold, hard facts—backed by scientific evidence and illustrated with personal experience—in her invaluable reference guide, You’re Not a Caveman, Don’t Eat Like One. Rather than cherry-picking studies that merely support her opinion, she presents thorough, detailed reports so you can learn what to eat, what to avoid—and why.

Today we face the challenge of too many readily available calories paired with less physical activity and a longer lifespan with more chronic diseases. By examining the nutritional value of your food options, you can start forming better eating habits that are scientifically proven to help with weight loss and to improve your health.

Don’t be tricked by the latest fad diet, know your food facts and eat smart!

Review

"...You're Not a Caveman, Don't Eat Like One by Jennifer Swallow RD is written with 'Doubting Thomases' in mind. No opinion, affirmation or conclusion is made in this book without showing a bona fide source. Helpful information on many topics, like the FAQs on How Plant Eaters Can Avoid Nutrient Deficiency, enhances its value as a reference book too. This book is replete with useful information...informative charts and quick tips. This is a very good book, a thorough document examining the vast area of healthy food and diet, particularly through the eyes of modern man..." -Reader's Favorite

From the Author

Gluten-free products have exploded onto the market in nearly all grocery stores and even many restaurants. Yet do most consumers know if cutting out gluten or carbs will truly solve all of their health problems? As a licensed and registered dietitian/nutritionist, I wrote You're Not a Caveman, Don't Eat Like One in order to break down popular myths about gluten, carbs and meat. This book has over 300 scientific references and 30 original charts/graphs/images to help show us which foods to avoid or emphasize in our diets. Not only does the quality of the information in this book stand out but it differs from other diet books, which are commonly written by random celebrities or self-proclaimed health experts that have no formal education or credential in nutrition.
I take readers on my personal health journey that has lasted over 18 years to share the benefits of my lifestyle. I offer something that most authors do not: a detailed view of my own health with body composition, lab results, before/after pictures and an entire chapter dedicated to my story. The book includes a food guide and meal plan in the last chapter complete with 30 delicious recipes. For free health tips and recipes, follow and like my Facebook page: Facebook.com/FitwJen and check out my website at FitwithJen.com.

Very informative!

What I really liked about this book is the overview of all the very popular "diets" and actual facts about their effectiveness broken down into nice graphs. I also really liked the tips at the end of the book for people in varying stages (meat lovers, vegetarians etc.) on how they can do simple things to improve their diet. This book hit a home run for me because I been contemplating a change for a while after yet another family member has been diagnosed with cancer, and this book presented facts and data that really hit home that changing my diet might help me prevent diseases. I have every intention of trying the menu at the end of the book, the recipes look delicious!

Absolutely loved this book!!! It really broke down and explained all the different diets that are so big right now, in terms that are easy to understand. Fun read, unlike alot of "dieting books" that just shove their opinion down your throat as if it is the only plan that works! Great evidence based research to solidify the authors perspective. Awesome recipes that I can't wait to try out, in a plan that seems so simple to follow! This book definitely has me pumped up and ready to make healthy changes in both mine and my son's life! This book has the potential to be life-changing and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in becoming a healthy and improved you!

A great read overall

Frustrated by the plethora of nutrition books in the marketplace written by non-nutrition professionals, I was excited to read this book written by an actual expert in the field. A dietitian myself, I understand the importance of critically evaluating scientific evidence before making conclusions about diet and health outcomes. Jennifer Swallow did just that when writing this book, but also explained it without the scientific lingo that can make diet research so difficult to understand. She also breaks down several of today's diet trends and chips away at much of the diet misinformation being spread by various forms of media. A great read overall! I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting scientifically based answers to today's diet questions!

Finally an honest book. She explains all the different popular diets. This isn't a dry boring fact based book on nutritionnutrition. It is written in a way to hold your attention, entertain, and educate without "talking down" to the reader. Finally! I have been waiting for a book like this to be written by someone who knows what they are talking about!

What an awesome book! If you don't know about the vegan lifestyle, this is the book for you! It describes in detail how to become a healthier human and how meat eating relates to different diseases. Lots of recipes to get you started, and a lot of comparison charts to see the meat vs veggie diets. I totally recommend it!

I'm so excited this book was written. FINALLY, a realistic and evidence based book written by a person qualified and credentialed to make the recommendations! As a Healthcare provider it pains me to see patients consuming every blog and book out there without concern for the source. Also a fun read!

I'm reading a little at a time. It's very educational. Most of friends do eat meat, but its very helpful if you're not vegetarian. Dr. Swallow is my personal dietician. She is very professional and helpful. I rate her a Five Star and I like her. I'm losing weight.

This is a great book that will help you make better choices about the foods you eat. Unlike some of the books currently available regarding popular diets, this one is filled with references and research data that will make you think twice next time you go to the grocery store. Also like the meal plan.
