The Paleo Diet Revised: Lose Weight and Get Healthy… by Loren Cordain

It's always heartening to read the other reviews here on Goodreads. Because oish, this book was a nightmare. The author needed an editor, a fact-checker, oh, and something resembling familiarity with the literature in the field. I spotted glaring errors through the first twenty or so pages, which is where I stopped. UGH!

Maximum paleo : taking the paleo diet to the next… by Loren Cordain

I've been reading alot about Paleo lately but haven't been able to take the leap and give it a try. This book is pushing me further in the direction of at least trying. I like that there is an 85/15 rule - paleo 85% of the time, other foods 15%. That alone makes if feel more approachable. I don't like that the 7 day meal plan relies on recipes in ANOTHER book, though.

The Paleo Diet: Lose Weight and Get Healthy by… by Loren Cordain

This is the original edition and as such doesn't take into account more recent research about saturated fat in particular. All of the info is available on the web somewhere - I didn't find the book added much of anything, but as with all diet books, it was easy to find used.
