Publisher's Synopsis
Finally, a workbook designed to break dietary change into practical, daily steps with "just tell me how to do it" simplicity. Dramatic health benefits emerge from a diet based on our hunter/gatherer roots, but transitioning to the Paleo Diet can be intimidating. Even after hours poring over Paleo resources, too many still stand bewildered in the kitchen when it's time to make a quick breakfast or find a grab-and-go snack. The Paleovation Workbook is a daily guide written by authors trained in education, nutrition and science. Each day explains WHY the Paleo Diet works plus HOW to implement it, side-by-side. For long-term diet success, it's critical to learn both pieces together: 1.Just knowing which food choices improve health doesn't help with implementation of a new diet. 2.Just changing the diet without realizing why certain foods damage health creates a plan based on willpower battles, which has a poor long-term outcome. The Paleovation Workbook unites this information in manageable, understandable pieces; imparting the power to consciously override moments of dietary weakness and choose healthy foods instead. The workbook's easy-to-follow design presents instructional topics in short passages, scannable paragraph headers, bullet points, tables and to-do lists. Recommendations for simple recipes, staying organized, further reading, kitchen tips, budgeting, etc, are interspersed throughout the guide - plus all website and book links are easily accessed from our website, Paleovation.com. Even documenting personal progress is quickly accomplished via simple charts and checklists. The Paleovation Workbook supports the reader every step of the way - from initial transition to long-term maintenance. Common obstacles of permanent dietary change are addressed daily: -How do I sort through all the Paleo information out there? -What do I eat for breakfast? -What foods will I stock for quick meals? -Is it possible to curb cravings? -Where can I grab an easy, nutritious meal? -How can I tell if my body is positively responding? -Can I tweak the diet for my own personal needs? -How will I create a long-term dietary plan? -What do I need to do to stay on track today? Plus, because the workbook is written from an educational standpoint, a Group Manual with lesson plans is included to guide those who wish to complete the program within in the support of a group. The journey to renewed health needs a starting point and just one month of the anti-inflammatory Paleo Diet can unravel decades of damage from a typical westernized diet. The Paleovation Workbook not only walks the reader through those first weeks but also provides personalized strategies for long-term success...and all this is accomplished in clear, concise steps. "Just do what it says each day."
