Tosca Reno's Eat Clean cookbook. The recipes are a little time consuming but makes so much that I can eat for days just by making a few meals. 4951

Paleo Diet BasicsThe problem is the Paleo diet does not truly live up to it's name. And it is not as healthy as many claim. But it is an improvement.Rather than a cookbook, you maybe better served by learning how to eat properly, and looking up specific types of recipes from what you learn.Nutrition School 4951

Just wondering what others like.  Paleo meets my health needs best, but I don't subscribe to it 100% & often make modifications....  It's more of a guide and a goal.  But yes, grains in their sprouted whole-grain form are best. 4951

I like a blog called Kalyn's Kitchen. It's mostly South Beach friendly. There are some similarities to Paleo.
 
I was looking at the link that @FoFa posted, and I'm wondering why turbinado sugar and evaporated cane juice rarely appear in the list of natural sweeteners. Sugar cane is a plant. It hasn't been genetically modified like sugar beets and is much less expensive than most other natural sweeteners. Perhaps it's the effect it has on insulin? My understanding is that agave and honey raise the blood sugar levels more gradually. But it has been a long time since I read that. Maybe the info has been updated. 4951

@Mahm: That is one of the issues with Paleo, if you think you are following it, "The Caveman Diet". 
But Cavemen ate seeds (grains) if that was available.Their argument is Wheat and current grains were not available in the caveman days, but then they have a tendency to overlook cows. A cow would not have survived in the wild back then.A lot of domestic livestock would not have made it. And some "processed" foods are not bad, just because they are "processed", but if they add a bunch of crap, they might be.That's why I think (and I in no way claim to be an expert mind you) knowing the general guidelines of healthy eating is more important than the current fad diets.That said, diets set out a guide line that is easier to follow, or in other words, doesn't take as much work as actually reading a book on healthy eating.But it is not rocket science to take some fresh greens, wash them (organic or not) and saute them in a little healthy oil (like canola, olive, peanut, coconut or avocado as some examples) add a little salt, pepper, maybe some fresh garlic cloves (or garlic powder) and serve it up to know it takes less than 10 minutes and it is healthy and it is tasty.And that is way better than taking 20 minutes to fix a box of cheesy potatoes that are dehydrated. 4951

There's a nice little blog called The Phoenix Helix. Strange name, but she has a Facebook page, a great audio podcast, and posts tons of nice recipes. She talks about the different types of protocols and the varying methods and all that jazz. I find that Pinterest has tons of great recipes. Makes it so much easier to categorize recipes I've used, make notes, etc.  4951
