The Paleo Cookbook – The Unofficial Cookbook For the Paleo Diet

More and more people everyday are adopting what is called the Paleolithic or Paleo Diet. This is due to its simplicity and, more importantly, its dramatic effect on a person’s health. The Paleo Diet is NOT a fad diet but a diet that reflects the natural eating habits of our distant ancestors and current hunter-gatherer groups.

Research shows that primitive cultures from the past were healthier than we are today. They were stronger and leaner than we are. Their eating focused on meat, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts and berries. Those foods are what we are genetically designed to consume. Looking at it in terms of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, their daily intake was about 33% of each. Today, about 50% of our intake is carbohydrates while only 15% is protein. That’s right – it really is all about the carbs!

Our ancestors did NOT eat grains and dairy and, of course, they did not have processed foods to tempt them. It is believed by many scientists and cultures around the world that those foods are causing us to be fat, less healthy, and more susceptible to disease. The problem for us is that it is so easy to overeat processed carbs. Have you ever eaten a whole container of ice cream or a whole bag of chips? Try overeating fresh broccoli or baked chicken breast… not quite as easy.

The Paleo Cookbook, written by Nikki Young, is really the only comprehensive cookbook that truly does a wonderful job presenting many Paleo diet recipes. It is the best Paleo cookbook hands down! It consists of two cookbooks and over two-hundred recipes. What is especially powerful about the Paleo Cookbook is that is also serves as a gluten-free cookbook, a dairy-free cookbook, and a preservative-free cookbook.

Let’s be honest. At first glance, the foods available to the Paleo Diet seem boring and tasteless. But, they really don’t have to be and that’s what the Paleo Cookbook so effectively accomplishes. It is chock full of a wide variety of tasty recipes for appetizers, soups, salads, snacks, entrees, and even desserts!
