Review: Okay if all you want is a short summary

This very short book (ought to be called a "report") could be even shorter if all the repetition was edited out. It covers the basics of the Paleo diet: what to eat, what to avoid, with a few tips for shopping and planning meals and snacks.There's very little here specifically on weight loss. It's true that switching from a highly processed, high-carb, high-sugar diet will help anyone lose weight, but you don't have to specifically go Paleo to make those improvements. If you are looking for an authoritative book on how to fine-tune your Paleo/Primal/LCHF (low carb-high-fat) diet to maximize weight reduction, you will not find that here.Not recommended for anyone who wants a substantial, authoritative, scientifically supported introduction to Paleo, enlivened with credible personal success stories, and with a useful meal plan to follow. None of that is in here. It's an adequate introduction if you know nothing at all about the Paleo diet, would prefer to read someone else's short summary than spend an hour or two reading Paleo sites/blogs on your own, and don't mind spending 2.99 for .99 worth of information.
