Has anyone read this?  It was recommended to me.

No, but I just looked at the reviews and people seem to like it.

I've read portions of it and have spent a good bit of time on the whole9 website that the author and his wife run; lots of people in my paleo/primal groups do whole 30 challenges but I haven't taken the plunge yet.

You might like the Perfect Health Diet book -- it seems like modified Paleo.  Rice is okay on it.

That is bizarre.  But really, it shocks me that a person could exercise as much as you AND be vegan and have any weight to lose.  That's not to say I doubt you -- it just boggles the mind.

 :preen:  thanks RA.  She woke up cranky again this morning (she has a cold) but was immediately happy to find our dog in the prone position with his belly out for scratching...until he farted.

Well, I've read the first few chapters and I think it's going to be OK but not great.  It's a little too cutesy for my taste, it tries to dumb things down too much.  Otherwise its pretty decent, I'm in the section that has an overview of hormones, how appetite and weight regulation work, etc.  It promotes a low carb, moderate protein, moderate fat diet-  pretty much Paleo but so far without the we never adapted to grains" stuff.  Which I appreciate. The primary focus is moderating blood sugar/cortisol and turning on the appetite regulation and fat burning systems.  Nothing too freaky so far.

It recommends a basic "Whole30" diet for 30 days.  Whole foods, pretty strict Paleo.  After the 30 days there's a recommended reintroduction schedule so the individual can determine whether they can tolerate grains, legumes, etc.
