    Weight Loss with Bonuses!

    I am an RN who has had an interest in nutrition for many years, and have eaten similar to the "Paleo" way for some time and have felt great for years (and look younger than my age!). The big excitement for me is the improvement in my family's health since converting to Paleo. My sister (who has been on chemo for 6 years),found this book(and told us all about it), has lost 35 pounds in 6 months, and has improving lab values with her thyroid, cholesterol. She has increased energy, no indigestion, and glows in a way she never did before. My husband, recently diagnosed with Type II diabetes, has lost 20 pounds in 3 months, and his blood sugars are totally controlled by this diet alone, and his blood pressure is now within normal limits. My daughter, having stopped the dairy products and wheat, is not longer suffering from severe reflux. She never has to take medication for that now. Ever. My mother has lost 33 pounds, has increased mobility and strength, easily controlled blood sugars (may go off meds soon, with md's supervision), and is never hungry. Along with all these benefits, you don't ever have to go hungry again. In fact, after eating the Paleo way, your hunger decreases because you are truly nourishing your body probably for the first time in your life! My boss, an internal medicine/allergy specialist, lost weight, and now has little to no arthritis pain that drove him to take pain meds on a daily basis. He recommends this diet in his practice. I love this book. It has changed lives. Try it for one month and you will become a believer.

    Man's original diet by the world's leading expert. Get it!

    Written especially for the general reader in a light clear style, this book is based on the diet that all people ate for 2.5 million years, until farming started some 10,000 years ago (in some parts of the world). It is flexible, tasty and easy to follow. It gives rapid weight control and rapid improvement in exercise tolerance. Why be confused by diet?- here's one that's got 4 to 10 times the normal level of vitamins (without supplements), is high in good omega 3 fats, low in harmful fats, is very low in toxins (lectins, phytates etc), tastes great and makes you healthy. It effortlessly combines every thing proven to be good in food and excludes all the bad things. But wouldn't you expect that from man's original diet? Many authors from Pritikin to Atkins claim that their diet is best because it is based on man's original diet, but few come close to it, and nobody can compare to Professor Cordain who is the world's undisputed grandmaster of Paleolithic and Hunter-Gatherer Diets. There's no muesli, bran, buckwheat or yoghurt. You will find out how grains undermine your health. Grains etc entered the diet 10,000 years ago and are your key to bad health. If you want to find out what was really eaten in the Garden of Eden, then read this book. Start on it for weight loss, but above all, stay on it for your health!

    A smart, healthful book

    I am fascinated by this diet book -- it makes so much sense! Eating lean meats and fish, veggies, and fruit, and cutting out all the other stuff that is so unnatural and unhealthy for you -- processed grains, refined sugars, and dairy products -- it's a really healthy way to eat and live, even if you don't need to lose weight. And the recipes and meal plans are so helpful and delicious; this book is a real inspiration to begin eating healthfully once and for all.

    Mostly Right

    The book is a great overview of the human body's natural diet. Dr. Cordain does a great job explaining in detail the concepts of a Paleolithic Diet and how it translates into modern day eating. I agreed with most of Dr. Cordain's concepts except when it came to eating fat. Fat, and more specifically saturated fat, has been unfairly villainized by modern paradigms and this book does nothing to clear this misinformation. There is some evidence to suggest that our ancestors preferentially ate the fat from the animals they hunted. Cordain's diet seems to skirt this issue and combine a true paleo diet with a modern day, politically correct, low fat diet.

    Ok if looking for a new lifestyle diet

    I have tried the diet and it is basically a gluten free type diet except with no grains at all. Kind of boring reading it, did not finish it. Not really a reasonable diet in todays society.

    Recommended to interested dieters

    New diet ideas and studies are interesting to review. This one because it takes us to the early man period when there was no
    'gravey' etc.

    I Also Recommend:

    Diet difficult to follow

    Book is easy to read and understand, but for most people, it would be very hard to follow this day in and day out. Almost all of your meals have to be prepared at home, and you would have to make frequent trips to the grocery store to get veggies, etc. If you are motivated for a big lifestyle change, then this book is for you. If you're just looking to drop a few pounds, don't bother.

    Really want to lose weight?

    We never had too many weight problems, since we worked out quite a lot, but weight gain did run in our families. This is a script to eliminate the struggle of good and bad diets and calerie counting. There are do's and don'ts as far as food you can eat and food you shouldn't.

    However, I believe some dairy is necessary to avoid broken bones.
