The Paleo Diet Basics

Many of you have read my first book, The Paleo Diet,

and are longtime Paleo Dieters with years of experience
under your belts. For both you and for newM comers to the

concept, The Paleo Diet Cookbook will provide a wealth of

new Paleo recipes and menu plans that we have created,
along with hundreds of helpful food, preparation, and
cooking tips.

In this chapter, for the benefit of Paleo newbies as well
as veterans, I will review the basics of the Paleo Diet, since
a number of key points have changed since the first book’s

publication in 2002. The Paleo Diet, Revised Edition,

which has just been published, contains the latest essential
updates to the plan.
