Bill Rockwell puts so much information into his many books emphasizing nutrition and health that reading another new book is like preparing for a class - and the results are very satisfying. This particular book examines the history of and the significance of the Paleo Diet: `The Paleo Diet, meaning the Caveman's diet in literal sense, has provided the cutting edge solution to fight against various diseases and ailments. It teaches you how by adopting simple nutritional habits and incorporating a few changes in your diet you can radically improve your health and appearance......Not only will this book teach you how to cook healthy meals, but it will also work with your genetics and will make you a better person. The book will help you get to re-discover your inner self and claim your birthright to happiness and health. Eating healthy, like a caveman, will make your body stronger and your mind sharper, improving your lifespan by adding valuable years to your life.'Pretty strong overture to what follows.Rockwell keeps his informational aspect of the book entertaining with some fine photographs to keep things light while eh is teaching us the essentials of why the Paleo diet is beneficial to our overall nutrition, our immune system, a guard against diabetes and other diseases. He then divides his chapters into recipes for breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks - including a great section on soups and drinks and even a dessert package. The specifics of buying and preparing poultry, fish, pork and other foods that some people fear as breaks in the true Paleo diet are thoroughly discussed.Each of the recipes (and here are recipes that are truly original in today's cookbooks) is accompanied by the list of ingredients to have on hand and instructions as to how to make each dish. In the last chapter Rockwell offers an excerpt form his book THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO WEIGHT LOSS MOTIVATION - a really broad and comprehensive look at how to become motivated to lose weight and keep that lost weight off! Many fine aspects to this all around efficient book about the Paleo Diet - form all sides. Grady Harp, May 14
