I've read so many paleo books and blogs and feel like I have a good grasp on the 'paleo-thing'. At the same time I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about the "Paleo Dieter's Missing Link" (http://practicalpaleolithic.com/paleolithic-diet-blog/paleo-dieters-missing-link)? The idea of an individualized paleo approach is really appealing. Does anyone have any experience with this book?

Never read it, but seems to offer you insight to individualizing a paleo diet that you could probably have gotten using the search function here for free.

+1 since I totally agree. – Huray Dec 28 2011 at 1:03

 I agree wholly. I downloaded it. Don't regret buying it but I wouldn't say it's worth it at this point. It's mostly common sense. Although in the wuthor's defense there are a lot of folks that want their hand held so caveat emptor. – ben61820 Dec 28 2011 at 1:06
thanks, guys! appreciate your input! – meret Dec 28 2011 at 1:36

I'm the author, so I'm a bit biased. I wrote the book based on over 6 years of experience with Paleo and specifically wanted to cover stuff that the other books either don't cover or don't cover as well as I'd have liked when I was starting out...

Since I'm admittedly biased, here are some reviews from people who bought the book and liked it..

There are also some free downloads and a preview on my site.

thanks so much for taking the time to comment! i really appreciate it! my problem in deciding whether or not to download the book is that i've read sooo many of them already, not including the blogs, and i'm not entirely convinced that it'll be more than another perspective on the same topic. at the same time, i've been paleo for over 2 years, and while i feel much better physically, i have not lost any weight -- something i'm trying to come to terms with given how well i feel, but is difficult because weight has always been an issue for me. love the reviews you linked to! thanks! – meret Dec 28 2011 at 1:36
Anytime, Meret! BTW, I'll always give you a refund if you want to download the book and check it out. If it's not going to give the perspective you need - which I think it WILL - I'll give you a refund. – Adam Farrah Jan 2 2012 at 14:58

Yes, I'm still in awe of what Adam put forth in his book. Worth every single penny! Read it and take it to heart. Then find your path in the Paleosphere.

Forgive me, but this sounds like every other bland and nonspecific "review" I've ever read online, for just about every product. I come to Paleohacks for specifics, dangit. – Canis Minor Dec 28 2011 at 16:18
Plenty of reviews linked above, Canis... – Adam Farrah Jan 2 2012 at 14:56
Thanks a ton, Melissa! SO HAPPY the book made as much difference as it did for you! – Adam Farrah Jan 2 2012 at 14:56
