Great idea for a book and really well executed. A thoroughly good read. Highly recommended. .

Primal Fatburner appealed to me because I enjoy food, and so, I wanted to see what I can do to still stay healthy and not put on weight while doing so.
There is a lot of good advice in this book, but not that many I'd actually manage to follow myself. If you are looking for ways to make your low carb diet more exciting, this would work great for you. Me - I love pasta too much...

Gedgaudas is obviously not only a believer but a "follower". She has a technical style that is easy to swallow for the non-science types. Now some of her ideas, like the chicken feet bone broth may not be! A good book.

This is one of my favorite books of all time and one of the best nutrition books ever. Both Authors are very well respected and they provide so much good knowledge and facts in this book. I agree will everything they suggest, especially increasing butter, high quality fats and decreasing starchy carbs. My health and several family members health has changed forever after following the advice I learned from this easy to read and understand book.

Bizarre book that is focused way too much on "primal" man. That isn't realistic for today's man and doesn't seem like a healthy plan.

I received an e-copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I give this book 4.5 stars. Nora Gedgaudas knows nutrition, and her books will go on my auto-buy list from this point forward. She also understands the health challenges people currently face, and addresses them thoroughly. I was impressed with the science in this book, and that it was presented in a way the average reader without a science background will understand. Her reasoning for a ketogenic diet is sound, her expertise is apparent, and her plan is simple. However, this plan isn't necessarily going to be easy for people currently on the standard American diet (SAD). You're asked to give up a common and convenient way of eating. I do think the convenience factor will be a challenge for some readers. However, I also believe the science supports making this shift for better health.

I love that Ms. Gedgaudas puts emphasis where it belongs--on the right veggies, healthy fats, and the right amount of protein. She offers a calculation so every reader can figure out their daily protein intake. The emphasis is on a small to moderate amount of the right types of proteins--not a protein free for all. I greatly appreciate that throughout the book she recommends professional assistance when undertaking this way of life for medical conditions. I also liked the list of resources in the back of the book for everything from support groups to labs for testing to foods to purchase.

I recommend this book for anyone who wants a better understanding of the ketogenic diet and the science behind it.

A well researched book that ties together the conclusions of a variety of scientific studies. Although the topic of the book is covered by several other authors, the extensive research and documentation gives this book a depth that is lacking in other books on the same subject.
