Are you someone who is on the fence about starting a Paleo diet because of all the contingencies? You may, like Sylvie McCracken, author of The Paleo Survival Guide: Getting Started with Paleo, have kids, a reluctant spouse and a lifestyle resembling chaos. Or, you may be worried about the challenge of eliminating certain foods from your diet to which you and your body have grown accustomed over the years.

Real Life Results from Someone Who Has Been There

Most people who go Paleo experience results like Sylvie McCracken did, who lost 65 pounds even though her objective had nothing to do with losing weight, but being healthy. With three kids of her own, a full-time job and a packed schedule, McCracken has experienced a lot of the trials and tribulations while transition to a Paleo lifestyle. In her eBook, she offers us an opportunity to learn from her experience.

The Paleo Survival Guide gives detailed information on the best tactics you can use to change your diet , your health and your life from someone who has been there and knows what it’s like.

She writes of her own experience, in which she gradually overcame her own illnesses and restored her body to better health as having a rough beginning:

“My experiment with paleo came out of desperation since my thyroid symptoms (fatigue being the most crippling one)  were persistent and severe despite my lab work being “normal”. The first 30 days of the transition to paleo were not easy. My body was not used to so much animal protein and  fat, and I was dealing with mad cravings for sugar and wheat. Finding the time, energy and money to do more shopping, cooking and dishes while juggling the usual madness of life definitely took some effort for both me and my husband Eric.”

McCracken describes her own experience as being unhealthy and suffering from Leaky Gut Syndrome, which can have many symptoms that seem unrelated but are not and concludes that even though she was overweight, she was malnourished. “Food really is medicine,” she writes, and describes how years of eating badly has started to be reversed by eating well. Her description of how the Paleo diet helped her get the nourishment she needs will inspire the beginner on her journey and reinspire you even if you have been on a Paleo diet for years.

What will you learn?

A reference for the beginner, The Paleo Survival Guide gives a succinct description of the Paleo diet, showing how it differs from other diets, and gives specific information on how to deal with problems that may arise.  Some questions that beginner’s ask, such as the following, are answered:

  • Why adopt a Paleo diet
  • Why choose Paleo over Weston A Price or traditional foods diets?
  • Isn’t Paleo just another low carb diet?
  • Is a Paleo Diet safe for children?
  • How do I know if Paleo is right for me?
  • Do I have to follow a perfect Paleo regimen?
  • How will my teenager handle the change?
  • What about reluctant spouses?

Not only are these questions answered, but all the bases are covered, including how to begin shopping for Paleo recipes, as well as how to continue to follow the Paleo diet in times of sickness, when traveling, attending social functions, while on-the-go, when you are feeling stressed out, and more.

There Are Recipes, Too
A substantial part of Slylvie McCracken’s book, however, are the recipes, which include a general array of everything someone starting out would need in order to make the transition not only nutritious, but also delicious.

Recipes include fare for meat, salads, side dishes, fermented foods and beverages, condiments, sauces, desserts, gelatin snacks and more, each simply written and supplemented with photographs.

The best part is that she had all the same challenges that many of us do when she started out, and possibly more, but she has been successful in making the transition and is reaping the benefits. That should give anyone teetering on the edge that if she can do it, you can, too. But not only that, McCracken says, here’s how.
