Marilyn Baker tells her weight loss story in her book, “Paleo Diet: My Weight Loss Story of How I Lost 100 Ibs in 6 Months by Eating Delicious and Effective Caveman Foods” and tells her readers about growing up in a family with no sense of what eating healthy really is - a living situation in which many young American girls find themselves. She grew up on cheap boxed meals and processed foods because her family couldn’t afford more and didn’t know any better. I enjoyed the author’s story of her progression from obese child to healthy, fit adult, but I saw this as more of a commentary on how American eating habits are almost killing our kids. While her switch to the Paleo way of eating is inspiring, I think the author should be more commended on revealing how eating fast food and processed items can be detrimental to one’s health. I highly recommend this book for not only people researching the Paleo way of life, but also to those who need a jolt of reality to see what fast food and junk food can actually do to your health.
