Loren Cordain, Ph.D., follows his success of The Paleo Diet with the first book ever to detail the exercise-enhancing effects of a diet similar to that of our Stone Age ancestors When The Paleo Diet was published, advocating a return to the diet of our ancestors (high protein, plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables), the book received brilliant reviews from the medical and nutritional communities. Jennie Brand-Miller, coauthor of the bestselling Glucose Revolution, called it 'without a doubt the most nutritious diet on the planet.'

    Hands down the only diet book necessary. Push through the first three weeks and you will be golden, try to get yourself adapted in the off season so that you are not losing power when the racing starts.

    This book is an avalanche of information -- so much so that I plan to go back and make summary charts because there is now way I'll be able to find the essential pieces of info (ie. actually use the suggested eating plan) quickly. Virtually every "athlete" referred to in the book is a runner. I would suggest this book to someone who is fairly serious about their training and has a basic understanding of concepts relating to metabolism.
