Editorial Reviews

Eva La Rue
"I am a firm believer in The Paleo Solution. I maintain a hectic schedule that starts early and finishes late. Filming a television series, maintaining my fitness, and being a mom can be harrowing some days. Since adopting a Paleo way of eating I look and feel better, and I know that I am setting a good example for my daughter."
Forrest Griffin
"Robb Wolf and The Paleo Solution have changed the way I look at diet and nutrition. He's helped me understand just how critical diet and sleep can be to your overall health and life."

John Welbourn
"They say the worth of a book is to be measured by what you can carry away from it. The Paleo Solution's value is far reaching for the knowledge that it offers. Robb has taken a unique approach to health and lifestyle that will help countless people."
Kyle Maynard
"I've watched as The Paleo Solution healed people after medical professionals had given up. Whether you're an athlete, or simply uninterested in becoming a health care statistic—there are no more excuses! Now you will finally look, feel, and perform as well as your genes will allow. Robb Wolf changed my life, and heÆs about to change yours too."
Publishers Weekly
Asserting that "modern life causes diabetes, autoimmunity, cancer, neurodegeneration, and infertility," the first-time author Wolf, a former student of The Paleo Diet's Lauren Cordain, takes on grains, carbs, vegetarians, misinformation, and other aspects of modern life with a casual, conversational tone ("Keep your poop where it belongs") that makes even topics like the components of total cholesterol engaging. Wolf's scientific background allows him to fully explain hormones, fats, and the dig

    Makes perfect sense.

    I like this Robb Wolf guy. He's funny and witty - but most of all it MAKES SENSE. Buy this book - and skip the rest of the gimmicky diet books out there.

    Paleo Solution Diet

    You might think that this would be another boring diet book but it isn't. The author is funny and I just wanted to read more and more. This all makes sense.....am going to try it for 30 days as he suggests and will come back and tell you what happened and how I feel.

    Excellent book - must read

    Convincing explanations in a easy reading format. Vegans and vegetarians step aside, this is not for you. don't bother placing comments. Follow Robb's instructions and see for yourself. This book is on the same league as The Primal Blueprint from Mark Sisson.

    Life Changer

    Having fought with various dieting ideas over the years, I'd thought I hit on the solution to my weight gain. Stop eating meats and go vegetarian. However, nothing changed. Now, after merely a month of following Robb's guidelines - sleep, diet, varying exercise - I feel better, have lost ten pounds of flab and am spending the first Spring in over two decades without relying heavily on allergy medication.

    This book is a must-read and a must-follow.

    Great book - descriptive and funny!

    Loved the book. Although there was a lot of intense information at times, I was never bored and the information was easy to understand. Well written, this book launched me into the Paleo lifestyle because it just made sense.

    The True Solution!

    I went on the Paleo Diet four months ago, and haven't looked back since. It's AMAZING how passing on carbohydrate-rich and processed foods, and instead opting for a natural, protein-rich diet can shed pounds, lower blood pressure, and give you more energy. I am healthier than I ever been. The Paleo Diet changed my life, and hopefully this book will help it change yours.

    Too bad I cant view this!

    Requested a sample to see if the book contained useful recipes b4 I spent the $$. Since 36 of the 48 pages are blank and the 12 that arent blank have only acknowldgements and the table of contents, I will be passing on this book :0(
