Ok, I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a copy of Practical Paleo for years. This book is one of the seminal Paleo cookbooks and mama, I’ve heard it’s amazing. I totally lucked out and got a copy in the mail of the second addition.
If the first edition is considered a diamond, then the 2nd edition is a diamond blinged with gold and rubies because it is AWESOME! Seriously, Diane put her foot in this book and there is more amazing recipes and information to help you on your Paleo journey.

This chapter also includes a a more comprehensive explanation of the 4R Protocol, which walks you through removing harmful foods, repairing the gut, reinoculating with beneficial bacterial, and reintroducing foods that were previously eliminated.
“Living the Paleo Lifestyle” offers tips and suggestions for navigating holidays and parties, talking to friends and family about Paleo – how to help if they want to dive in or how to handle it if they’re unsupportive) – getting your kids involved in the kitchen, and much more.
Plus an update to the blood sugar regulation chapter, “Clearing Up Carb Confusion,” since this is a hotly debated – and confusing – topic these days.
