Cookbook general

Through more than 40 years of medical practice, focusing increasingly on health problems for which conventional medicine has few answers, especially chronic fatigue syndrome and myalgic encephalitis and its causes, Dr Sarah Myhill has reached the conclusion that diet is the single most important aspect that each of us needs to address to restore and maintain good health. Her clinical work and her study, of evolutionary nutrition have brought her to the firm conclusion that the Combination of 'Paleo' (no processed foods, no dairy, no gluten grains) and 'Ketogenic' (low-carb, high-fat and high-fibre but NOT high-protein) is essential for combating the root causes of most modern illnesses - cancer, dementia, heart and arterial disease as well as infections, allergies, addictions and the upper fermenting gut. Changing one's diet is always difficult and, as ever, the devil is in the detail. Paleo-Ketogenic: TheWhy and the How supplies the intricate detail that takes the devil out and makes the move to a PK diet as frictionless as possible. This is achieved by supplying the intellectual imperative (the Why) and the practical reality to achieve such (the How). With over 60 PK recipes plus weekly meal plans, shopping lists and short cuts, the book will get you started on this way of eating. It also gives you the principles on which to develop your own recipes and personal preferences, sustainably for a lifetime. Book jacket.
