The Paleo Diet Simplified: A Concise, Easy to Read and Simplistic Guide on the Original Paleolithic Caveman Diet

by Alexander Armstrong

Hello and welcome to the Paleo diet!

Wait! Stop! Come back! I know it’s a hokey name, but hold on a minute, will ya?

We can give it another name, like… the “We Didn’t Claw Our Way to the Top of the Food Chain to Eat Rabbit Food” diet, WDCOWTFCERF for short.
Still too long?

Ok. How’s about the Meat-Lovers-Are-Welcome diet?
Better?

Ok. Now that you’re a little more comfortable, how’s about we stick with the “Paleo” diet for now, ‘cuz it’s so much shorter, alright?
Good.

The name comes from what archaeologists claim our distant ancestors ate, the ones who were still nomadic hunters and gatherers.

We’re talking here about a period of time till around 20,000 years ago, a period called the Paleolithic Era.

After the Paleolithic, people started discovering agriculture, and with that, they began settling down in permanent communities, a period called the Neolithic Era.

Our focus here, however, is the Paleolithic, hence the “Paleo” diet, see?

So why this time travel, you ask?
Well, geneticists tell us that our genes take between hundreds of thousands of years to about two million, to adapt our metabolism and physiology to a new lifestyle.

So though our ancestors started including grains, legumes and dairy products to their regular diet during the Neolithic period, our bodies are technically still geared to what we used to eat over 20,000 years ago, during the Paleolithic period.

So this is not about going out there to hunt bison with spears and whatnot, and clubbing people over the head just because we think they’re cute. No, no!
There are laws against that today.

This is about eating foods our bodies had adapted to up until the end of the Paleolithic period.

...So, are you searching for a Simple, Easy and Straightforward way to Learn about The Paleo Diet?

Well your search ends here... “The Paleo Diet, Simplified” is an efficient answer to the most common questions related to the Paleo Diet / The Caveman Diet.

Note: This book is shorter than most of your typical Paleo Books or Dummies Books.
Reason: It’s designed to help you decide if The Paleo Diet is right for you before diving in head first. I have removed the “Fluff” that usually fill up some of these books and get straight to the point (actually I’ve replaced it with a little humor and maybe a little rant here and there, *wink). There are no recipes in this book and no long author biography... (After all you are really only interested in learning about the Original Human Diet...right?).

Another thing...if you are easily offended then this may not be for you, see...I am what you can call a “straight talker”...so you will either love my tone or you won’t (although quietly inside I’m really hoping that you do love it :)
