The Primal Blueprint

Lots of hype... Hard to really get into this one as a physician as this guys tries to be as offensive as humanly possible towards us. There are good concepts in here, but there's a lot of unrealistic stuff as well. I read this with an open mind, but the approach he took closed my mind toward his concepts by 2/3 of the way through the book due to his offensive attitude.

Mark is one of the biggest advocates of primal style of living, and this book is dedicated to telling us how and why we should also be interested in that.

With his extensive explanations he covers all the domains of life which you can immensely improve with primal approaches. Most of this book is dedicated to explaining how we can eat like our primal ancestors ate, and why is it important to eat that way.

You will understand and foresee the possible scenarios of your health and your life in general, if you continue down the path that conventional wisdom tells you is the right one.

Author talks about the importance of a hormone called insulin, and how it correlates to everything else, including your whole diet and exercise attempts.

And much more...

In short, Mark's work more or less solved one of the biggest puzzles of mine, what can I do to live a healthy life, but there's still lots to find out and experiment with.

My intuition tells me that this book can change your life, if you really consider Mark's advice and implement everything (even part of) what he talks about in your everyday life.
