The Paleo Diet: Lose Weight and Get Healthy by Eating the Food You Were Designed to Eat
It is a good review of what has been written before. I learned something from it, which was helpful.

I am a certified weight consultant & the author of Asian Slim Secrets. I can agree with the author that lean meat, seafood, fruit & vegetables are healthy. However, I do not agree that one should get rid of cereals and legumes from their diet. It is not consistent with the food pyramid. Unprocessed cereals and legumes contain a lot of fiber and resistant starch which are beneficial for weight loss.

Speedy shipping and my package was as promised. I would order from this seller again.

are easy to make. ‘Dr’ Cordain asserts that hunter/gatherers ate low carb diets. Exactly what would be in ‘lots of fruit and vegetables’ if not lots of carbohydrates ? There’s plenty of sugar in both fruits and vegetables. Not to mention that grains have always been available since the dawn of time, and fermented grain alcohol is a part of every recorded culture: so grains were indubitably a part of the hunter/gatherer diet (there’s my own unsubstantiated assertion – see how easy it is ? )
The diet is mostly a good idea, but the reasons given why it might be, are mere speculation.

I got this book because I, being a current health advocate, X-nurse, and cookbook author, wanted to see how it compared to The Seventh-day Diet. It is true that most people did not get ill until folks started bleaching flour and consuming white sugar. I go back to the original diet in the Bible and see that we are to eat grains, veggies, fruits, olives, and nuts. Yes, we can eat clean meat IF the blood is drained- but most folks don’t buy kosher foods. Most folks, like she says in the book, eat processed foods. So I have to agree with her on some points; however, some points, like eating unclean meat, I do not agree with at all. Also, I have done vast research on diary and it causes sinus infections. I was by the side of the Amish Hex doctors on several occasions when he treated people that had consumed lots of dairy with herbs and apple cider vinegar. My suggestion is to buy the Seventh-day Diet book, which is on Amazon. I am a Seventh-day Adventist now and feel so much better, being a vegan. While in nursing school, I did a study on people in a cancer unit- just to see how many ate alot of veggies- only one lady ate a pretty good amount. Also, one of my test questions in my laste semester at Eastern Kentucky University was what you wouldn’t feed your patient- the answer was a hot dog- because the sodium nitrates cause cancer. Lastly, I am glad that she did include some valuable viewpoints of more veggies and how bad the sugar and processed food are.
