This book made me a fan of the Paleo diet. I lived on it for half a year and I felt great! lost weight without even trying too! The only problem I see with it is that it's quite expensive. Also, a bit difficult for vegetarians like myself.
This is the most complete book about diet that I have read. All statements are fully backed through studies (which are also presented) and should be a must-read for anyone who truly wants to understand more about the facts underlying the paleo diet.
Dr. Lindeberg gives a fascinating look at evolutionary nutrition. Gives you a good European background on the issues.
