About the Book

The Paleo way of eating is a journey back to when our ancestors hunted and gathered their food instead of farming, cultivating, and processing. In this way, the foods they ate were entirely natural and free of any additives, excessive sugar and other ingredients that are found in the foods we include in our diets today.

Book Synopsis

What is the Paleo diet, and how can it work for you? The Paleo way of eating is a journey back to when our ancestors hunted and gathered their food instead of farming, cultivating, and processing. In this way, the foods they ate were entirely natural and free of any additives, excessive sugar and other ingredients that are found in the foods we include in our diets today. As a result, they were leaner, more muscular and able to live off the land from these sustainable foods. We can enjoy the same level of nutrition from over 10,000 years ago, including many of the benefits that Paleo has to offer.

The Paleo diet also includes an active lifestyle that includes regular exercise, whether it's weightlifting, aerobics, and cycling, or another movement that keeps you active. Finding the right type of exercise doesn't have to be difficult and starting at any stage in life can be easy and fun, just like starting a new way of eating. The Paleo diet supports an active lifestyle, and for this reason, a bonus section was added to include quick and healthy snacks that you can enjoy on the go, whether you are on the way to a marathon or the gym, or relaxing after a vigorous workout.

The Paleo diet is for everyone and can provide a long-term, sustainable way of eating and living for a lifetime, without the calorie and carbohydrate restrictions of many other diets. You'll thrive on Paleo and enjoy it for years, along with the many health and quality of life advantages it provides.
