Amazon.com Review:
According to author Loren Cordain, modern health and diet problems didn't start with the advent of packaged snack food, but much earlier--back at the dawn of the agricultural age many thousands of years ago. As humans became less nomadic and more dependent on high-carbohydrate diets, we left behind the diet we had evolved with, which is based on low-fat proteins and plenty of fruits and vegetables. Sugars, fats, and carbs were rare, if they were present at all, and survival required a steady, if low-key, level of activity.
Cordain's book The Paleo Diet blends medical research with a healthy sprinkle of individual anecdotes, practical tips, and recipes designed to make his suggestions into a sustainable lifestyle, rather than a simple month-long diet; he even includes cooking recommendations and nationwide sources for wild game.
Claims of improving diseases from diabetes to acne to polycystic ovary disease may be a little overstated, but in general the advice seems sound. Can any of us really go wrong by adding lots more vegetables and fruits to our daily regimen? One recommendation on safe tanning with a gradual reduction in sunscreen is surprising and not much detail is provided for safety issues that can accompany increased sun exposure. Still, Cordain's assertions have helped many people, and could provide exactly the changes you've been looking for to improve your health. --Jill Lightner

I think this is a fantastic book. I first learned about Cordain from Robb Wolf on the Paleolithic Solution podcast (Great stuff - listen if you don't already.) I am now reading Mark Sisson's Primal Blueprint which is also very helpful. The two books diverge in a few areas (e.g. consumption of milk). I just ordered the Cordain/Friel "Paleo Diet for Athletes". I can't wait to get it.

I started a Paleo diet around 3 months ago after researching it. I've benefited greatly from the change in eating habits as a result of this. Since Cordain is typically associated with Paleo style diets I figured I should start with this book. While the book does offer up an overall foundation for Paleo eating, it is often time filled with opinion based information (such as tossing in our supposed evolution from monkeys as if it were fact) and many other opinions. However as the intro to the book ... Read More

Really good book. The paleo diet is more than a "diet", it's a lifestyle change that can have dramatic results on not only your weight(loss) but also your health. I have been living straight Paleo for 3 months and feel so much better.

I can only give this 4 stars instead of five due to the fact that Cordain used the term artery clogging saturated fat. Seriously Cordain's reasoning and logic for a paleo diet based on meat, veggies, fruit, and nuts, was rock solid, so I am perplexed as to why he would think that our ancestors would have not eaten the saturated fatty deposits that the wild game animals had. Of course wild game has less intramuscular fat, but it still has ample deposits of saturated fat, and I am confident that our ... Read More

I have been on every diet and in fact have worked out 3 years with a personal trainer and now I know it is totally IMPOSSIBLE to lose ANY weight on KS. Nope, can't be done! And Paleo Diet did forget one element to his program, Cavemen would walk miles and miles hunting and gathering food by killing it. They didn't have the added convenience of driving to McDonalds and picking up a burger... and oh you want fries with that? hahahahaa and if that Caveman had KS.. he would still be overweight.
