Review: The Paleo Diet by Nikky Hide

[chstress]

How healthy,delicious, and simple, Nikky Hyde makes the Paleo Diet sound. Hyde successfully demonstrates how, eating satisfying yet lean meats and fish, fresh fruits, snacks, and non-starchy vegetables, will allow you to lose 125 lbs. It is a well-thought out, nuanced approach to a healthy way of eating; although a bit different then the usual diets out there today. This particular diet mimics the nutritional characteristics of the food groups that our Paleolithic ancestors ate. This book has a lot of good insightful info, and it seems to me that their was a lot of research behind it. I am thoroughly inspired by her knowledge and understanding and I was completely memorized by Charlotte‘s inspirational story. I have been attempting to control my weight for years and this sounds like a program I could live with. My mom has been telling me for years: protein for breakfast, salad and a little protein for lunch, light on the carbs, small dinner; guess she was correct after all. I am definitely going to give this a try.

I can't wait to read The Paleo Diet! I like that it has been researched and I have heard that people get great results from following the diet!

The book is an instant access to all the recipes along with information...

The carb limiting probably does contribute to weight loss, but the idea that paleolithic people didn't eat grains is completely false. The reason paleolithic hunter-gatherers became mesolithic farmers was because grains were such an important part of the paleolithic diet that they worked on finding a way to grow them deliberately. A culture doesn't give up an entire way of life to grow things they never ate to begin with.

Too bad I've sworn off all diets forever, I may be tempted to give it a try.
