1. Table of Contents

Any Paleo aficionado will agree that your Paleo journey starts with food. Discovering the yes and no Paleo foods, converting your kitchen into a primal one, and creating your own Paleo meals can help you lose weight, boost immunity, fight aging, heal conditions, and perform better.

But living Paleo isnt a diet in the traditional sense but a way of thinking about health and fitness one thats based on eating and moving like your ancestors did. This means loading up on some foods and avoiding others. It also means heavy lifting, sprinting, and other movements that the conveniences of modern day have made largely irrelevant.

Whenever someone comes along with a new and exciting exercise program, its generally all wrong. When it comes to fitness, a new way of doing something is rarely a better way of doing something. Its almost invariably the exchange of one nuisance for another. The same is true of what you eat. This book shows you what you need to live a lifestyle that supports your health with all the information, tips, and recipes you need to feel alive, vibrant, and nourished the Paleo way.

Adopting the Paleo lifestyle may seem overwhelming at first, so Paleo All-in-One For Dummies is organized in a way that makes the benefits of eating and exercising Paleo easy to understand. Use this book as both a reference and a cookbook; if you need to check on whether a food is a Paleo yes or no, you can find that information easily. If youre creating a menu for a dinner party and want to go all Paleo, you can pick your recipes and get to work. If Paleo is new to you, you can start with the foundational information and get to know Paleo superfoods, how Paleo eating can improve how you feel, and how you can get started with a cleansing 30-Day Reset. You can find out exactly what it means to work out Paleo, the benefits you reap from doing so, and all the exercises you need to build a solid workout program. (For good measure, you also get 90 days worth of workouts to follow.)

Cooking is a big part of the Paleo equation. The recipes in this book will keep you well fed from breakfast through dinner, with healthy snacks in between. Here are some specific recipe-related conventions that apply throughout the book:

• Temperatures are given in degrees Fahrenheit.
• All eggs are large unless noted otherwise.
• All water is filtered so all the toxic elements are removed.
• All bacon is free of nitrates, casein, gluten, and antibiotics.
• All pepper is freshly ground black pepper unless otherwise noted.
• All butter is grass-fed and organic. (If you cant find grass-fed butter, though, you can substitute conventional organic butter.) You may also replace any butter with ghee (clarified butter).
• All salt is unprocessed. Good sources for unprocessed salt include Selina Naturally brand Celtic sea salt ( www.celticseasalt.com ) and Real Salt brand sea salt ( http://realsalt.com ).

At the end of many recipes, youll see a note indicating that the recipe has been vetted by the team at Whole9 ( http://whole9life.com ) and is considered acceptable for a cleansing 30-day Paleo launch, which in this book is called the 30-Day Reset Paleo cleanse. These recipes dont include any added sugars (real or artificial), grains, legumes, or dairy. They replace butter with clarified butter (ghee). If a recipe includes a processed food (such as chicken broth, bacon, or tomato paste), you should choose brands that dont contain off-limits ingredients such as sugar, soy, additives, or preservatives.

So that this book is as practical as possible (because thats what its really about, right?), it includes web addresses for sources of products and other information. Some web addresses may break across two lines of text. If youre reading this book in print and want to visit one of these web pages, simply key in the address exactly as its noted in the text, pretending as though the line break doesnt exist. If youre reading this text as an e-book, youve got it easy just click the web address to be taken directly to the web page.
