I started out with a book by Jorge Cruise. It worked like crazy for losing weight. It was what you'd think of when you think 'Paleo.' But in reality, as we learn in this book, it was not Paleo.
This book was written by two PhDs with a vested interest in keeping weight in check, while simultaneously staying healthy for the long run.
A good summary would be:
a) Potatoes and white rice are OK, even though they're starches/carbs
b) Fruit is good. (contrary to what Cruise says)
c) Grains (other than rice), seeds, peanuts, (and oils derived from them) fructose are bad.
d) chicken and pork is sub-optimal, but not terrible.
e) beef and lamb, and their fat, is good
f) Tree nuts are good
g) Eat fist-size servings; no more.
My only regret is that I didn't buy this book sooner. I've tried other diets, and now my family thinks I'm crazy, and I've lost credibility by the time I discovered this one. So they continue to eat garbage and just wave me off as a diet kook.
