The popularity of the low carb/paleo/Primal way of eating has exploded,
as people discover an appealing and sustainable alternative to the
restrictive diets and flawed conventional wisdom that lead to burnout
and failed weight loss efforts. Until now, high-quality cookbooks
written for this growing community simply haven't existed. The dream of
eating satisfying meals--even on a budget--controlling weight and
feeling great has now become a reality. Make your transition to Primal
eating easy and fun with this innovative cookbook from Primal Blueprint
author Mark Sisson, and acclaimed chef/food writer/photographer Jennifer
Meier. Included are over 100 mouth-watering recipes with easy-to-follow
instructions and nearly 400 brilliant, glossy, full-color photographs
to guide and inspire you to cooking and eating Primally. Save time with
intuitive recipe steps, easy navigation, and great visual support. Find
recipes quickly in the following categories: Meat, Offal, Fowl, Seafood,
Vegetables, Eggs, Primal Substitutes, Marinades, Sauces and Dressings,
Desserts, Beverages. As detailed in the Primal Blueprint, losing excess
body fat is all about insulin. Regulate insulin production by
eliminating grains and sugars and you will lose weight, even if you
don't exercise much or are cursed with the fat gene. Easier said than
done, right? Well, the Primal Blueprint cookbook shows you how to
transition from great American grain-based diet to a Primal Blueprint
diet featuring meat, seafood, fowl, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds.
All of these Primal recipes have a naturally low glycemic impact,
keeping your insulin levels--and thus your waistline--in check. As you
build momentum for Primal eating, you'll find that you won't even miss
the bland, boring, low-fat foods that previously were the central focus
of your diet. How can you argue with a menu that includes Roasted Leg of
Lamb with Herbs and Garlic, Salmon Chowder with Coconut Milk, Tomatoes
Stuffed with Ground Bison and Eggs, and Baked Chocolate Custard? This
isn't a crash course diet. These and the other Primal recipes provide
the foundation for a lifetime of healthy eating, high energy and
protection from common health problems that arise from eating SAD
(Standard American Diet)." -- Publisher Marketing
