1. Table of Contents

Making changes to your diet and lifestyle is imperative for regaining a healthy body and the life you love. Living Paleo nourishes your mind, body, and soul, and its much more than a diet. Its a template that guides you toward your healthiest and most-balanced self. When you go Paleo, you learn to eat whole foods designed for your own unique body. You also learn to manage stress and make time for sleep and exercise. These changes transform your body and life, giving you health, happiness, energy, and vitality.

What you dont do is give up on indulging your natural craving for treats. The genetic makeup of the human body has changed very little from our hunter-gatherer ancestors, and even they had a sweet tooth. Therefore, the only nutritional approach that helps you stay strong, lean, and healthy is to consume a diet rich in essential minerals and vitamins and free of processed modern foods. Paleo Desserts For Dummies helps you do just that without depriving yourself.

Whether your goal is to lose weight, look your best, improve your familys health, or simply discover the healthy alternatives to sugar- and chemical-laden junk foods, Paleo Desserts For Dummies is the resource youve been waiting for. In this book, I give you my best cooking tips and healthy Paleo dessert recipes so you can enjoy life more without having to deprive yourself of your favorite foods.
