With the perfect diet, we thrive. We are lean, energetic, and mentally and physically sharp. But there isn’t one perfect diet. Our bodies and goals vary, and so do the diets that best serve us. On the surface it’s simple. Eat real food: meats, vegetables, nuts, seeds, some starch, some fruit, no sugar. But the perfect diet is not 100 percent compliant with those guidelines. Rather, these simple rules are a starting point for optimal health. It is up to you to uncover the particulars that work for you. This book is for you if you want to lose 50 pounds (or the last 10), optimize your health, or learn about cutting-edge tools to monitor your body. In these pages, you will find an easy framework for understanding the body and practical tools to resolve issues with your weight and health. You will find answers to questions such as• Counting calories failed me; now what?• I eat Paleo; why am I still fat?• How do I lose these last 5 pounds?• How do I eliminate cravings?• What foods will most likely make me fat?• Which exercise is best for my body?

If you want to look good, perform at your peak and be in tip-top shape, you must choose smart fuel for your body, not the processed “food” found on the shelves of every supermarket. Many have turned to Paleo and a low-carb way of life to avoid the effects of these food impostors we were never designed to eat.
