FOREWORD BY DIANE SANFILIPPO
INTRODUCTION
The propaganda police (or how I learned to stop worrying and start eating real food)
What we talk about when we talk about Paleo
On scientific studies
So here’s where we stand, and here’s where we’re going
CHAPTER 1: FAT
Let’s talk about fat, baby
History and the heart
Cholesterol: Don’t hate!
Saturated science? Fat chance
But what about the calories, yo!
So what to do?
CHAPTER 2: PROTEIN
How did we get here? And actually, where the heck are we?
Kellogg’s flaccid flakes
The essentials on protein and amino acids
Myth: Animal protein causes cancer
Myth: Animal protein is bad for the kidneys, liver, and bones
Myth: We can get all the protein we need from plants
Myth: We need to eat like primates (or, don’t monkey around with ape food)
Don’t be cruel (or, veganism: I get it)
So what to do?
CHAPTER 3: CARBS
Crops and carbage
Carbohydrate confusion
The chemistry of carbs
What comes with your carbs?
After agriculture: Traditional food, traditional cultures, traditional preparation
So what to do?
CHAPTER 4: NUTRIENTS
Calories, energy, and food
It’s the hormones, honey
Nutrients, not calories
Nutrients: Bank them, and bank on them
Nutrients we need: A is for animals only
Nutrients we need: D is for don’t get deficient
Nutrients we need: K₂ is for kick-ass
Nutrients we need: Omega-3 (or, fish oil—what’s the catch?)
Nutrients we need: Minerals matter, and they’re better together
So what to do?
CONCLUSION
Where we’ve been
Where we’re going
How we get there
Where to begin
