review 1: As of right now I have one daughter who is Vegan, one who is vegetarian and a son who has decided to follow this diet. The book is great at laying out exactly what the benefits are of this diet, the recipes are fairly easy, and I have made a few and there is one smoothie I absolutely love. That said I could more easily be vegetarian, because in this diet one has to give up potatoes and grains, vegans cannot eat cheese, so it would be easier to just give up the meat. Just saying.
review 2: This book gives a great summary of the Paleo diet that could be very useful for patients that are very ill and cannot read very much.The author's website contains interesting info about why eggs, capsicum, eggplant and tomatoes should also be avoided. It'd be great if this inf... moreo had been in the book.I disagree with the authors very-low salt stance and would advise them to read about unrefined sea salt and the work of Dr Brownstein on the many myths about salt and low-salt diet scaremongering (and the cholesterol scaremongering as well). I also disagree that saturated fat in moderation is a bad thing, and don't agree with the author's recommendation of flaxseed oil for cooking. Using flax oil for cooking is very bad for you!But overall, this book is fairly solid and a good overview for newbies at least as far as avoiding grains and legumes goes.You should probably ignore what the author says about fats and oils though, as most of it is just plain wrong. The book 'Know Your Fats' by Mary Enig PhD explains the facts about fats and oils.Jodi Bassett, The Hummingbirds' Foundation for M.E. less
