The City Is Your Gym (book)

It has never been easier to eat healthily and lose weight without counting calories, eating diet food or feeling hungry, and without feeling as though you’re missing out on anything. This book explains the link between looking healthy and achieving lasting weight loss, and how you can easily achieve both. The formula is simple: avoid industrially processed foods and products such as grains, pulses and pasteurised milk. What’s more, doing so increases your chances of alleviating or even completely eliminating the symptoms of common illnesses! This is the essence of the paleo diet, often referred to as the Stone Age diet. The Complete Guide to the Paleo Diet contains plenty of delicious recipes and answers to all your questions about the paleo diet, and is the bible for anyone who has discovered this way of eating for themselves.  About the author : Diane Sanfilippo studied at Syracuse University; she is a scientist and a registered dietitian. She writes the popular health blog Balance Bites, runs a practice as a dietitian, gives seminars on the Paleo diet across the USA, and hosts a highly successful weekly podcast, *The Balanced Bites Podcast*, which is available free of charge on iTunes.
