STONE AGE DIET: BUILT ON MODERN RESEARCH IN HUMAN NUTRITION AND ANCESTRAL EATING: VOLUME II

Your body is designed for foods that no longer fill your plate. Modern humans face a stark biological mismatch: we carry Stone Age bodies navigating a world flooded with processed foods our ancestors never encountered. The result? Epidemic rates of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and chronic inflammation affecting millions worldwide. This book cuts through decades of conflicting nutrition advice to reveal a simple truth: the foods humans evolved eating over millions of years remain the foods supporting optimal health today. What You'll Discover: Drawing from evolutionary biology, clinical research, and nutritional biochemistry, this comprehensive guide demonstrates how returning to whole-food eating patterns reverses metabolic dysfunction, restores energy, and rebuilds health from the cellular level up. Inside, you'll find: Evidence-based foundations : Randomized controlled trials, metabolic ward studies, and observational research in modern hunter-gatherers showing dramatic health improvements with ancestral eating patterns - Practical implementation : Over 70 tested recipes requiring no exotic ingredients—from Stone Age Scramble to Coconut Chicken Stew to Herb-Roasted Lamb Chops—each designed for real kitchens and busy lives - Complete meal plans : Four weeks of structured eating demonstrating how individual recipes combine into nutritionally complete patterns supporting sustained energy and metabolic health - Monitoring protocols : Validated methods for tracking body composition, energy levels, digestive function, sleep quality, and physical performance—moving beyond the bathroom scale to comprehensive health assessment - Personalization frameworks : Scientific guidance on adapting general principles to individual genetics, activity levels, life stages, and medical conditions—because optimal nutrition varies between people - Troubleshooting strategies : Solutions for adaptation symptoms, social pressures, time constraints, budget limitations, and progress plateaus that derail most dietary changes Why This Book: Written from the perspective of a nutrition scientist specializing in dietary assessment and body composition analysis, this book bridges the gap between evolutionary theory and clinical practice. The approach respects scientific evidence while acknowledging real-world constraints. No dogma. No perfection requirements. Just clear frameworks enabling consistent good-enough practice producing excellent results. The 90+ recipes span breakfasts, main meals, soups, sides, snacks, and even desserts—all using whole-food ingredients available at standard grocery stores. The appendices provide nutrient composition tables, measurement conversions, shopping lists, seasonal food charts, and progress tracking templates transforming knowledge into action. The Bottom Line: Processed foods represent a failed experiment in human nutrition. The path forward lies backward—returning to eating patterns supporting human biology. This book provides the scientific foundation, practical tools, and strategic guidance making that return feasible within modern life. Your ancestors thrived without chronic disease. You can too.
