Abstract:
"In THE PERSONAL PALEO CODE, Chris Kresser uses the Paleo diet as a baseline from which you can tailor the ideal 3-step program--Reset, Rebuild, and Revise--to fit your lifestyle as well as your individual body type, genetic make-up, and specific health issues. Best of all, you only have to follow the program 80% of the time; there's room to indulge in moderation. THE PERSONAL PALEO CODE also includes practical advice on stress reduction, how to restore a healthy gut and immune system, which fats to eat liberally, how to choose the healthiest proteins, and much more. Kresser even presents specific Paleo prescriptions for various conditions, from thyroid problems to heart disease. Based on cutting-edge scientific research, THE PERSONAL PALEO CODE is designed to be user-friendly, with helpful charts, quizzes, and effective action steps to help you lose weight, live longer, and feel your best."-- Provided by publisher.
