There are better books out there for this,
By
This review is from: Paleo Solution, The (Hardcover)
I really wanted to like this book. I totally believe in the Paleo way of eating and living, but it feels as though Wolf pushed this to print before it was really ready. I will try to be fair and as balanced as I can be.I enjoyed the information on digestion and the science behind the metabolism of grains, fats, etc. Most of this I already knew, but Wolf had a good approach to the material that offered me some new information. I also found good information on exercise and why it was crucial. I enjoyed the science in these chapters; Wolf has obviously done his homework and was willing to share it, here. However, several times I was frustrated because he refers to things he "covers later" and never talks about again. There is no index, either, so finding information afterwards is very difficult. After explaining why grains were a bad idea for the body, he mentions that dairy should be avoided, too, but he does not do the work to explain why, which I found sloppy on his part. The tone of the book could be considered 'fun', I guess, if you don't mind being treated like a silly girl ("Buttercup") who doesn't know much and has no desire to learn anything more. I like to do research and use my brain, though, so I admit I was annoyed at times with his writing style. The section on physical training could have been better organized; the material could be offered more clearly for those who have not worked out with weights before. It focuses quite well on those who have been sedentary, which I thought was good, but these people may have lots of questions afterwards. In short, there was some good information here but I think there was more work to do on this book before it went to press. Hopefully a newer edition will be born from this effort. I would suggest Mark Sisson's Primal Blueprint for a very thorough and informative take on the Paleo lifestyle.

An easy entrypoint into ultimate health,
This review is from: Paleo Solution, The (Hardcover)
Robb Wolf's "The Paleo Solution" is a funny and informative read into the latest "fad" for dieting, although a fad thousands of years old. The paleo diet, or caveman eating, is gaining tremendous popularity with athletes, and new research is proving that the methods with this, the simplest "diet" imaginable, have shown results with decreasing auto-immune diseases (diabetes,cancer, etc.), as well as demonstrating unparalleled weight loss and body composition outcomes. Having attended Robb's seminar previously, it was great to find that he continues to discuss the science behind Paleo-nutrition with plenty of humor and with the ability for any reader to easily understand. The prevalance of grain-based products in our diets have seen a dramatic increase in health issues and Robb easily defines what grains, specifically gluten, is doing to our society. For anyone dealing with any sort of health issues or looking for a truly simple means of weight loss and increasing overall health, "The Paleo Solution" is a must to own.

The Marriage of the theory of evolution to human nutrition,
By Big O ""Game On"" (Vancouver) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Paleo Solution, The (Hardcover)
It may say DIET in bold type on the cover but this is no diet, this is our lost lifestyle summed up.The connections made by Mr. Wolf in "The Paleo Solution" are staggering. Diabetes, Heart Disease, Stroke, Cancer, MS, Rheumatoid Arthritis- to name only a few, are all hugely collative with elevated insulin levels and chronic systemic inflammation. What are the root causes of these two conditions you ask? Eating- Grains Legumes Dairy Most modern folks don't even know what it feels like to be healthy. It is shocking to think our governments have been directing us down a path of sickness and pain, wow. Buy this book. About Me: I started eating strict Paleo 6 weeks ago. I've lost 20 lbs. in this time (285 down to 265) I have way more energy than before. I have WAY more libido, which me AND my wife love. I have a stable mood now. I'm stronger. I don't crave sugar like it was crack anymore(this is sooooo amazing, I had the biggest sweet tooth, ever.) I don't have a constantly runny nose anymore. I don't have "bumps" on my scalp anymore. I don't have nearly as much acne as I used to. As you can tell, I was in quite a bad state just 6 weeks ago, and now I feel amazing. If you're suffering from low energy/ skin conditions/ obesity- you've got to try this book, it will literally change your life, for the better. Cheers everyone, I wish you all the best on your journeys of self healing.
