This confirms that the changes I'm making in my diet and exercise are the right way to go. I've already taken most of the steps it discusses because of doctor recommendations, reading Why We Get Fat and doing online research about Paleo. This book makes things easy to understand and makes me confident I can get fit. I learned a few new things and will be cutting a couple more items out of my meal plan.

I loved it. Got this book on Friday, and despite a lot going on, finished it today (Monday). Informative, motivating, eye-opening, creative, simple, and easy to integrate into everyday life. What I really appreciate about this book is that it is not long-winded like a lot of Sisson's articles are. It covers a lot, but it covers what is necessary and it repeats when necessary. I do not feel comfortable doing the 21-Day challenge as I do not have my own space yet (can't remove all non-Primal foods when 3 other people are down with the SAD food), but I do plan to reread a lot of the chapters just to wrap my head around the concepts and science so that when it does come time to "primalize" my life, I'll be more than ready. Quick read, and definitely worth it.

Some useful tips in this book, but much of which is available if you follow Mark's blog and mailing list. I was most inspired by the sections that focused on more than just the primal diet/exercise and mentioned overall lifestyle changes, such as getting more sleep, living more simply, etc.
It is a quick, simple read that will encourage you to make some positive changes, especially if you are interested in the Paleo/Primal lifestyle.

I really enjoyed this book, it made me look at food in a different way. It's kind of disturbing to think of all the processed food that we eat and what it does to our body. I don't know if I could stick with this lifestyle 24/7 but I think the main message of the book is to eat whole foods as much as possible, exercise to your comfort level, and reconnect with the nature and people :). Overall an interesting take on the human body.

Well written and nice evidence for eating primal. Going to try out the plan and get back with you in 21 days. Clearly written and very easy to follow with just enough of the why not to bog you down.
