About this ebook

An effective and practical program based on the Paleo lifestyle, customized to fit your needs!

As the Paleo movement sweeps the nation, the health benefits of following the lifestyle of our hunter-gatherer forebears are undeniable. But what happens when we hit a wall and weight loss stalls, energy flags, or we're tired of restricted eating? We're not cavemen anymore, so why should we follow a strict caveman diet?

In Your Personal Paleo Code, Chris Kresser uses the Paleo diet as a baseline from which you can tailor the ideal three-step program-Reset, Rebuild, Revive-to fit your lifestyle, body type, genetic blueprint, and individual needs. Kresser helps further personalize your prescription for specific health conditions, from heart disease and high blood pressure to thyroid disorders and digestive problems. Along with a 7-day meal plan and delectable, nutritious recipes, Your Personal Paleo Code offers natural solutions and an avalanche of groundbreaking advice on how to restore a healthy gut and immune system; how to eliminate toxins; which fats to eat liberally; how to choose the healthiest proteins; and much more. Best of all, you only have to follow the program 80% of the time; there's room to indulge in moderation while still experiencing dramatic results.

Based on cutting-edge scientific research, Your Personal Paleo Code is designed to be flexible and user-friendly, with helpful charts, quizzes, and effective action steps to help you lose weight, reverse disease, and stay fit and healthy for life.

Ratings and reviews

I read the authors Web page and several of his articles were very well researched and informative. His book on the other hand is not well organized at all. It's informative but just not a compelling read. I'm having a hard time picking it back up to finish and I was initially very motivated to take on more of a paleo lifestyle.

Very informative and extremely interesting to those who like to look behind the curtain and break the information down into the why and the how. I appreciated having all the explanations without a huge section of recipes I will never use!

An extremely fantastic book chalked full of important health facts, reports & case studies, patient case stories, links & further reading tips, proper diet information, delves into physiological, psychological & sociological issues, et al. I would have purchased this book, for ten times the amount than is being retailed at.
