Book was a good overarching capture of the primal lifestyle. It got very redundant though.

It's such a cliche to say a book was life-changing, but reading this book and Wheat Belly have changed some of the most basic things about my life, like what I eat and how I exercise. I'm 45 and I feel better than I have since I was a teenager.

DNF at page 389.  I found this difficult to digest but pushed through thinking it was with a goal (personal) but I am drawing the line at him stating spf is no good.

Lots of good information here. This is one of my favorite books for health/fitness related stuff.

I couldn't finish this. Good information, but it was almost all of the same information on the website, which I'd already read through.

It makes a lot of sense, this book. Switching up my nutritional profile (as it's not a diet) to eat in the way Sisson suggests has resulted in a multitude of positive changes - fat loss, muscle gain, improved attention and alertness, fewer cravings.

Yes, I'm now one of those people who tell everyone to get on the paleo bandwagon. But you know what? I'm living, breathing proof that it works.

It could probably have been 100 pages lighter, and less of a reference to Sisson's online material, but I'm prepared to give those factors a pass based on results.

I felt the need to update my previous review of this book (see below). I have realized that, even with a background in science, I fell victim to believing the claims in this book (and other diet books) were scientific. The truth is that nutrition is incredibly difficult to study and there are not double blind studies that produce data to confirm the claims in this book. It’s all just diet culture and another way we can waste our money trying to get thin.


Previous review-
It's a diet book, BUT it's one of the only diet books I've read that's backed up by real science. Now if it only came with a really good strategy for actually stopping yourself from eating bread. Because, really. Bread is so damn delicious.

Skimmed through it but overall interesting. Will say that I've been loosely following what he was talking about and feel much better overall.

Awesome! Changed my approach to nutrition, I never felt better than after following Mark's simple rules.
