Healthy, delicious, and simple, The Paleo Diet is the diet our genes are made for. It is humanity's original-and optimal-diet, a diet designed not by doctors, nutritionists, or faddists, but rather by natural selection acting over eons of evolution and rediscovered by modern scientists. Written by the world's acknowledged scientific expert on Paleolithic (Stone Age) nutrition, The Paleo Diet presents readers with a revolutionary program that causes weight loss in overweight people-up to seventy-five pounds in six months, normalizes blood cholesterol, and increases energy levels. It is also useful in the treatment of diabetes, hypertension, kidney stones, osteoporosis, Syndrome X, and autoimmune diseases. With over 100 delicious Paleo recipes, six weeks of Paleo Meal Plans, and three levels of the diet for everyone from casual dieters to those who seriously need to lose weight, The Paleo Diet gets us back to the way Mother Nature intended us to eat.
