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

This is a paleo diet book/plan that is geared towards women. The author explains the research behind paleo and why it is thought to be healthy to eliminate sugars, and grains and many carbs and to eat a diet based on organic grass fed meats, organic grass fed dairy, and organic produce. She says that her diet eliminates processed foods, but she really does not. She includes things in her diet like powdered green drinks - how is that not processed?, and turkey bacon, sliced turkey lunchmeat, shirataki noodles, whey protein powder, and supplements - all of which are processed. She advocates eating lots of healthy fats and explains which ones she considers to be healthy and why she thinks others are not healthy. She has a 14 day detox plan, followed by a paleo reset plan and then her paleo chic plan. I found it a bit confusing that before listing her 14 days worth of detox, she suggests that you drink a green shake/ juice drink three times a day during detox, but those green juice drinks are not included in her daily lists. There is also a list of simple recipes - and they are quite simple and should be easy to follow even for a non-cook, although to me, some of them are too simple and would really need added seasoning to be palatable. I received this book free to review from Netgalley.
