Our great-grandmothers didn't need nutrition lessons—then again, they weren't forced to wade through aisle after aisle of packaged foods touting outlandish health claims and confusing marketing jargon. Over the last few decades, we've forgotten what "real food" is—and we're left desperately seeking foods that will truly nourish our bodies. We're disillusioned with the "conventional wisdom" for good reason—it's gotten us nowhere.Achieving optimal health without calorie-counting, diet foods, or feelings of deprivation has never been easier. Practical Paleo explains why avoiding both processed foods and foods marketed as "healthy"—like grains, legumes, and pasteurized dairy—will improve how you look and feel and lead to lasting weight loss. Even better—you may reduce or completely eliminate symptoms associated with common health disorders!Practical Paleo is jam-packed with over 120 easy recipes, all with special notes about common food allergens including nightshades and FODMAPs. Meal plans are also included, and are designed specifically to support:immune health (autoimmune conditions)blood sugar regulation (diabetes 1 & 2, hypoglycemia)digestive health (leaky gut, IBS & IBD)multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndromethyroid health (hypo and hyper - Hashimotos, Graves)heart health (cholesterol & blood pressure)neurological health (Parkinson's & Alzheimer's)cancer recovery fat lossathletic performance a "squeaky-clean" Paleo approachPractical Paleo is the resource you'll reach for again and again, whether you're looking for information on healthy living, delicious recipes, or easy-to-understand answers to your questions about how a Paleo lifestyle can benefit you, your family, and your friends.
My man and I are strictly Paleo and have read the best of the best in terms of books - everything from Robb Wolf to Gary Taubes, Mark Sisson to Dr. Cate Shanahan - and I can tell you for sure that this is the only book you'll need.I found Diane when I was having severe digestive troubles earlier in the year. My stomach cramped up and I experienced awful reflux every time I ate. Sometimes when it would really flare up, I'd have to fast for an entire weekend to feel better. I was regularly constipated for up to TWO WEEKS at time (as in, no bowel movements for 14 days - awful)! I saw a holistic doctor but licorice root, marshmallow root, natural laxatives and magnesium did nothing to solve my problems. Four hundred bucks on holistic supplements later, I found Diane's podcast. Through listening to her podcasts with her enthusiastic teammate Liz Wolfe, I started adding kombucha and sauerkraut to my diet, cutting out nuts and never, ever eating gluten. It took time for me to find what my exact triggers were, but now I know that I have an over-exposure allergy to eggs and that raw nuts can mess me up for days. I can tolerate gluten once in a while but after seeing how flat my tummy got when I avoided it, I don't indulge anymore.I listen to their podcasts every week and wasn't sure if I needed this book since I already own so many Paleo books. Boy, was I wrong - if only this book had come out first, I wouldn't have needed any of the other ones! The section on poop alone is life-changing!What really stands out here are the customized meal plans for the specific issues you might be facing. I found myself wanting to copy each of them and hand them out to family and friends. The tear-out guides, as other reviewers have mentioned, are also fantastic. The recipes are so incredible - my man and I made the artichoke lemon chicken last night, as well as the chocolate coconut cookies. I also spent my time elbow-deep in cabbage and carrots to make the sauerkraut.Diane is so knowledgeable and delivers the information in easy-to-understand action steps. This book is perfect for beginners and even great for the seasoned Paleo eater. The photographs are lovely and the recipes are easy to follow. A truly beautiful book well worth the list price and more. If I hadn't found Diane and Liz, I would have definitely seen a GI specialist by now and wiped out whatever good gut flora I had left with antibiotics. That being said, there is so much more covered here than you can get in a forty-minute podcast. Well worth the money spent.I bought the book in paperback to have and to hold - Kindle lovers may want to pick up the Kindle version for portability reasons - this is a heavy book and it could be useful to have recipes at your fingertips. That being said, I just took a picture of the recipes I wanted to make on my phone and took that with me. The quality of the physical book is very high and will not disappoint.Before going to the physician, go practical! Practical Paleo, that is. :)
