Book DescriptionRelease date: August 7, 2012Our great-grandmothers didn’t need nutrition lessons—then again, they weren’t forced to wade through aisle after aisle of packaged foods touting outlandish health claims and confusing marketing jargon. Over the last few decades, we’ve forgotten what “real food” is—and we’re left desperately seeking foods that will truly nourish our bodies. We’re disillusioned with the “conventional wisdom” for good reason—it’s gotten us nowhere.Achieving optimal health without calorie-counting, diet foods, or feelings of deprivation has never been easier. Practical Paleo explains why avoiding both processed foods and foods marketed as “healthy”—like grains, legumes, and pasteurized dairy—will improve how you look and feel and lead to lasting weight loss. Even better—you may reduce or completely eliminate symptoms associated with common health disorders!Practical Paleo is jam-packed with over 120 easy recipes, all with special notes about common food allergens including nightshades and FODMAPs. Meal plans are also included, and are designed specifically to support:immune health (autoimmune conditions)blood sugar regulation (diabetes 1 & 2, hypoglycemia)digestive health (leaky gut, IBS & IBD)multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndromethyroid health (hypo and hyper – Hashimotos, Graves)heart health (cholesterol & blood pressure)neurological health (Parkinson’s & Alzheimer’s)cancer recoveryfat lossathletic performancea “squeaky-clean” Paleo approachPractical Paleo is the resource you’ll reach for again and again, whether you’re looking for information on healthy living, delicious recipes, or easy-to-understand answers to your questions about how a Paleo lifestyle can benefit you, your family, and your friends.http://www.amazon.com/dp/193660875832021i—-CONTENTSForewordDedication and GratitudeIntroductionPART 1: The Why—Food and Your Body.What is Paleo?….. guide to: paleo foods….. guide to: stocking a paleo pantry….. guide to: food qualityEverything We’ve Been Taught About Good Nutrition Is WrongPaleo at Home: Shopping for Groceries….. guide to: fats & oils….. guide to: cooking fatsPaleo in Public: Restaurants & PartiesOn-the-Go: On the Road or in the AirYour Digestive System….. guide to: digestion….. guide to: your poop!Is Your Gut Leaky?….. guide to: healing a leaky gut….. guide to: glutenBlood Sugar Regulation….. guide to: dense sources of paleo carbs….. guide to: sweetenersFrequently Asked QuestionsPART 2: 30-Day Meal PlansStart Here > Navigating Meal PlansAutoimmune ConditionsBlood Sugar RegulationDigestive HealthThyroid HealthMultiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, & Chronic FatigueNeurological HealthHeart HealthCancer RecoveryAthletic PerformanceFat LossSqueaky Clean PaleoPART 3: RecipesKitchen BasicsBreakfastPoultryBeef & BisonSeafoodLambPorkSides & SaladsSauces & DipsTreats & SweetsAbout the AuthorDiane Sanfilippo holds a BS from Syracuse University and is a Certified Nutrition Consultant who specializes in blood sugar regulation and digestive health.
