zero to paleo
You've seen all the celebrities and probably most of your friends jumping on the Paleo and gluten-free bandwagon recently and I'm really glad. Even though I've been promoting the dietary method for years, I'm not the least bit offended that it's finally catching on no thanks to me. Morse is one that had it all along (The Evolution Diet All natural and Allergy Free was way ahead of this current trend). Why? because it just makes sense. And it's important to make a distinction here, this isn't a diet book per se- it is a lifestyle book. The point isn't to lose weight with Zero to Paleo, the point is to understand how we were designed and get to and maintain your ideal weight. You will do this by learning about our ancestors, what they ate, and how they lived

the primal blueprint
by Mark Sisson is a journey through human evolution, comparing the life and robust health of our hunter-gatherer ancestors with a day in the life of a modern family.

He uses the research of Alan Keys, research that was discredited by Gary Taubes in his much better and more scientifically researched book “Good Calories, Bad Calories”.

the new evolution diet
by Arthur De Vany. Art is the grandfather of the “Paleo Lifestyle” movement. The plan is built on three principles: (1) eat three meals a day made up of nonstarchy vegetables, fruits, and lean proteins- (2) skip meals occasionally to promote a low fasting blood insulin level- and (3) exercise less, not more, in shorter, high-intensity bursts. Note that the book is anti-fat. All oils are to be avoided, though canola is considered okay for higher temperatures. Egg yolks are to be skipped now and then. To be published December 21, 2010. [Kindle edition available now.]

the paleo solution
by Robb Wolf, a research biochemist. Readers will understand digestion, how protein, carbohydrate and fat influence hormones, and how this plays into fat loss, health or disease. They’ll understand the significance of dietary fats whether the concern is performance, health, longevity, or making your fanny look good in a bikini. The book goes into how lifestyle factors such as sleep and stress influence the hormone cortisol. It gets into basic blood work and what things people should ask their doctor to include to better assess inflammation and health. It also includes a detailed 30-day meal plan and a beginner exercise program. The exercise program is geared to the beginner or someone who is quite de-conditioned but the nutritional info would be helpful for anyone regardless of background.
