The concept behind the paleo diet is that modern humans have not had the chance to adopt their bodies to the modern diet. For most of our evolutionary history we have existed on meat and vegetables (even fruit was rare back then). It is only in modern times that great quantities of refined carbs and sugars have made their way into our diets. The result is the obesity epidemic that you can see all around us. Cracking the paleo diet code is an excellent overview of this perspective. Utilizing a very accessible writing style the author covers such topics as how to plan a paleo lifestyle, how to lose weight with it and the health benefits. If you are thinking about going paleo but are looking for more information before you take the plunge this book is a great place to start.
