I was lucky enough to attend Robb's Paleolithic Solution Seminar in Atlanta on 9/11/10 and I received a copy of this book at the end of the seminar, before it was released to the general public. I wanted to read it cover to cover before adding my review here - I just finished it last night. It was an excellent read and a book full of knowledge and advice that will truly change your life if you have an open mind and are willing to try it out for yourself.
I love how Robb's personality and wit come through in his writing. I am not a science geek and I don't like reading through too many minute details of science, but I didn't have a problem getting through this book. He explains the science to just enough detail for one to understand it without getting overwhelmed. He also uses plenty of analogies and humor to make the concepts stick once you read about them. That being said, there is a TON of information in this book and I will be keeping it handy to use as a reference as my understanding of the Paleo lifestyle increases.
I can say that I have experimented with Robb's advice over the last 9 months and it has made a tremendous difference in not only my life, but in my body composition. I easily lost over 25 lbs and decreased 3 to 4 pant sizes in the process and I am stronger now and have more energy than ever before. People have actually told me that I look like a completely different person than I did a year ago. The transformation is truly incredible. The bottom line - this stuff works, folks! This book explains how you can get those same results and experience life in a whole new way. I have so much more energy now and I love my new, slender body.
The hardest part about learning about Paleo is not spouting it off to every single person that you know in your life that could benefit from this information. It's hard to keep my mouth shut when people complain and whine about their issues managing their weight or chronic health issues. It's hard not to sound like a "know it all" once you've been enlightened to this way of life.
The best thing you can do for yourself is to have an open mind when reading this book. It challenges everything we've been told by the traditional medical community and even our own government. Keep an open mind, try it for yourself and you'll see the results. For many, implementing these changes will ultimately result in a total lifestyle change. This may take time and some adaptation, but the benefits are worth it. Believe it or not, you will get over not having bread and pasta - the cravings disappear soon after you begin implementing Robb's advice. I feel so much better living within the Paleo lifestyle guidelines. Every aspect of my life has improved. I just wish more people would be open-minded and TRY it!
Robb is the real deal, folks. He is not looking to get rich quick by selling you some silly supplement or magic potion. This is truly his passion and he is doing everything he can to spread the knowledge he's gained while trying to live an ultimately healthy life. He not only gives this advice, but he lives his life according to what he preaches. How many other authors of "diet" books can say the same thing? If you want living proof that this works, there are plenty of case studies.
Robb also answers many of the traditional questions that come up when people first hear of this way of life like "What about Fiber?", "Aren't whole grains healthy?" and "This is too hard". He responds to these questions, doubts and whining with tough love, truthful advice. He doesn't sugar coat anything and deals with these doubts by first backing it up with the science to support his case and finally by asking readers to try it for 30 days and see if they look, feel and perform better. He also addresses some realistic situations in the book - for example, the question of drinking alcohol. Instead of ignoring the subject or saying "you should never drink alcohol", he gives you realistic advice on how to have a drink or two without completely falling off the wagon. It's tidbits like this - along with Robb's humor, and tough love personality that make this book not only worth reading, but enjoyable to read.
