Cavewomen Don't Get Fat: The Paleo Chic Diet for Rapid Results by Esther Blum   304 pages

I have heard a lot about the Paleo diet and this book explains it from the get-go and more importantly goes over all of the benefits women can gleen from it.    While I was delighted to find it is basically the low carb/high protein diet that I am extremely familiar with Esther Blum also goes into several herbal and vitamin additions that aid in detoxifying the female body, balancing estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, yeah, ladies, we have a little of that, too, and how you can feel better, look better and do your body better healthwise by eating a diet heavy in protein like our cavelady ancestors ate and giving a nod to that hunter gatherer lifestyle gals back then had, she tells you how foraging the produce aisles at the grocery store/health food store can prove amazing on getting us lean in a short time with miniimal effort on our parts.   She recommends exercise but not nedesssarily hard core hit the gym 6 hours a day 7 days a week stuff.  no, do some form of exercise 20 to 30 minutes 3x a week while staying away from the processed food stuffs and revisiting our love of meat or other forms of protein, eating good for you fats and treating yourself to sweets of the fruit variety or natural think a bit of honey, after the first week will please that sweet tooth.  Taking a walk counts as big-time exercise so don't worry about   anything strenuous unless you want to go that route.   It is a good book with lots of good information in it and for a change recipes that not only taste good but aremade from stuff normal people buy not celebrity chefs.    I recommend this book to anyone yung r old who would like to drop pounds and learn how to love and live the life that will keep them off.
