Book excerpt: Eating the Paleo way is not about becoming a ‘caveman’! Instead, it’s all about listening to your body, getting back to a more natural, seasonal way of eating, nourishing your body with tasty whole foods and living a more balanced lifestyle. Along the way, you’ll automatically consume far less sugar, avoid preservatives and processed foods, and throw away the calorie counter for good! In Optimum Health the Paleo Way, Paleo nutritionist Claire Yates explains clearly why bad health is on the increase and how the Paleo lifestyle (not ‘diet’) can help. Along the way, you’ll also discover the truth about fats, carbs, protein and fibre, and how you can use ‘food as medicine’ to improve and then maintain your health. By following the 28-day Reset protocol, you’ll be able to design an individual Paleo food plan that works for you, and with over 100 delicious recipes to try you’ll soon be feeling great while eating some of the tastiest food of your life!
