Book Description

Aug 7 2012
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 loss
athletic performance
a "squeaky-clean" Paleo approach

Practical 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.

Review

"Diane has made a work in Practical Paleo that is as useful as it is beautiful. Are you an athlete? Do you suffer from digestive distress? Have you been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition? Maybe you just want to live a long life and look good naked! Whatever your goals, Diane has done the heavy lifting by condensing the science and a lot of practical how-tos into bite-size pieces."—Robb Wolf, New York Times best-selling author of The Paleo Solution


"The recipes in Practical Paleo are nothing short of exceptional. I say this without hesitation because I tasted every single dish in this book. Watching Diane cook was inspiring, and I'm proud to say I learned much more about cooking just from being in the kitchen with her. This book will not only feed your brain with knowledge of health, but also nourish your body with outstanding recipes."—Hayley Mason, co-author of Make it Paleo


"Practical Paleo is a gold mine for those new to the Paleo diet or struggling to integrate it into their everyday lives. I've always believed that personalization is the key to long-term success, and Diane's 30-Day Meal Plans will help you achieve just that. Practical Paleo will prove to be a resource I recommend to my patients and online community again and again."—Chris Kresser, LA.c, integrative-medicine practitioner

5.0 out of 5 stars Far Exceeded Expectations Sep 10 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book expecting some simple, easy to prepare recipes that would help a non-cook like myself adapt to a paleo diet and lifestyle. What I received was so much more. I have read many books on nutrition and health in the last few years, and none have been as clear and understandable as Practical Paleo. The section on meal planning especially cleared up a lot of misconceptions about what is beneficial even on a Paleo diet - ie. it's not a cookie-cutter, one size fits all approach - people with different conditions (ex. digestive problems, neurological problems, weight problems, blood sugar problems etc.) may need to adapt their Paleo diet and restrict certain foods at least during the healing phase. And the author gives very clear guidelines for each. I couldn't recommend this book enough. The wealth of material, the organization and layout of the book, the writing style, and the obvious hard work and compassion that went into its creation, FAR exceeded my expectations. And yes, it has incredible recipes - not as easy as driving to a fast food restaurant, but I look forward to learning and developing some solid cooking skills and sharing some incredible dishes with friends and family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing resource Aug 13 2012
By Kathy
Format:Paperback
This is an incredible resource. I am so impressed with the lengthy recipes section - not only is it beautifully photographed and nicely formatted, but I want to try every one of them. It includes as many recipes as some of the other paleo cookbooks out there, plus loads of advice on nutrition and improving digestion, so good bang for your buck.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing resource to add to your collection Nov 18 2012
By mnsv
Format:Paperback
I only have one regret about this book. I wish I had been the one to write it! It is exactly what I would have wanted to include in a book. The first half is an amazing resource for anyone looking for information on what Paleo eating is all about and why it is the only way to eat for optimal health. There are a host of 30 day meal plans (shopping lists included) and lots of info specific to a variety of health conditions. Did I mention this book has recipes too? It really is about 3 books rolled into 1 and is beautifully presented with amazing photographs. I have already gifted this book to 2 friends/family with the knowledge that it will be an invaluable tool on their road to recovery and optimal health!
