Paleo Fitness Book
Paleo for weight loss, performance and disease prevention. Read my full review here.
The impact of too much stress in our lives - impotence, obesity, heart disease and much more...
Usually we have to go back to basics to progress, this is a great place to start!
"Think about the toxic chemicals you put onto your body, and are exposed to on a daily basis. Frankly, quite worrying..."
First published in the mid 1990s. Amongst other things, disputes the 'fat intake causes obesity' argument and reasons why the high carb/low-fat diet doesn't work.
An inspirational read, whether you are a 'runner' or not. This book also investigates why expensive 'cushioned' running shoes increases the likelihood of injury.
An insight into real, simple and nutritious food. Insightful.
An excellent, non-scientific common sense quick reference to the often confusing question : "What should I eat?"
An alternative to Cordain's first book "The Paleo Diet" if who want to consider the impact of Paleo on athletic performance. It is geared towards endurance athletes but an interesting read nonetheless.
I'm an omnivore. I believe it is healthy to eat naturally-reared meat, non-farmed fish as well as a wide variety of fresh vegetables. This book is an interesting read and has a lot to say about why becoming a vegetarian isn't necessarily the best option for humans. However read this, do your own research and make up your own mind.
A discussion about the complex nervous system working in the gut, which produces neurotransmitters such as serotonin. In fact much more serotonin is produced in the gut than the brain!
This provides extraordinary insight into the reasons behind adopting a paleolithic diet. Some aspects are controversial and many may feel it is too dogmatic. I have often gone back to this book and re-read it for clarification as Dr Loren Cordain is often mis-quoted. There is now a revised edition (2010 edition) to counter some of its earlier criticisms, this is an excellent resource and a must-read for any one serious about paleo nutrition.
This book offers a comprehensive insight into the science, coaching and discipline of running. Energy systems, coaching and training. Often quoted as the bible of running.
