Review of "Practical Paleo" by Diane Sanfilippo

As you all should have noticed, along with providing top notch training expertise, we also offer a multitude of ancillary dietary (and otherwise) support for your healthier lifestyles. In recent years, this has included cookbooks by some of the more prominent Paleo/Primal/Real Food authors. One of the more recent ones came from Diane Sanfilippo: a one-time San Francisco resident former meal-delivery chef, and Certified Nutrition Consultant. Practical Paleo is the "customized approach to health and a whole-foods lifestyle" according to the book cover, and it is just that. Diane really lives this lifestyle, and it comes through in her practical advice and recommendations. I will get to the book in a bit, but first, I wanted to take a minute to discuss an opportunity I had in which to meet Diane.Back in November, Diane was doing a book-signing and mini lecture at Omnivore Books, a book store in San Francisco dedicated to books solely on cooking and food. In the presence of 40 or so people, Diane discussed her entree into the world of food and nutrition as well as the hows and whys behind her dietary strategy. While a lot of the information was not new to me, it was great to get another perspective on things from someone who has been steeped in the academic side of things for years. A few take-aways you ask?
