Paleo Solution

ABC Nightline features the Paleo Diet

Okay, here's the ABC Nightline article, and below is the piece.  It actually wasn't bad.  I loved Art's line about "What's a bagel?". 

If you're new to the site and would like to learn more, here's the basic concept:

So if you want to be healthy, this is what you have to do:

  • Eat the types of foods humans evolved to eat in the wild
  • Mimic key aspects of life in the wild: sleep, sun, moving, walking, and social contact

Follow this advice and most of your health problems will melt away.  Here's a good way to get started.  To stay on the cutting edge, you can do a few things:

Robb Wolf's The Paleo Solution

Ever since I attended Robb Wolf's seminar in Brooklyn a few months ago, I've been excited for his book to come out.  Well, just a few days ago he released the new cover, and The Paleo Solution is up on Amazon.  Pre-order this book.

If you know Robb, read his blog, listen to his podcasts, or have attended one of his health seminars, then his book is self-recommending.

Two thoughts on why he chose a great title:

 

  • I love that he uses the world solution (The Paleo Solution).  This evolutionary approach to health really is about solving problems.  We do this because it works, not because of ideology.  Plus, the word solution conveys that paleo can help a wide variety of health problems (osteoporosis, acne, IBS), it's not just about a diet to lose weight. 
  • Okay, okay, the word DIET is in big red bold letters just below.  I'm quite sure the publisher insisted on it.  Even so, the usage is brilliant if you see what Robb has done.  He's used the word diet as part of the phrase "The Original Human Diet".  I've always liked "The Human Diet" because this usage of diet is actually the proper way to use the term -- the types of foods that a person or species eats, not necessarily for weight loss.

So Robb gets a title that doesn't use the word diet, he still puts DIET on the cover, and he actually uses diet in the proper sense of the term.  Love it.

Buy the book.
