Just finished the book. This is the best book catering to those interested in the paleo diet that I have read, and it was updated and a new edition published this year so it is very up-to-date. At the end she even recommends specifically eating at least 50 percent of one's calories RAW, INCLUDING ANIMAL FOODS. She mentions freezing and marinades for those who are still hesitant because of parasites, but seems to dismiss the parasite issue. It's almost as if she's read through this site...
As noted above she recommends a low sugar intake, particularly fructose, so she downplays the role that fruit should play in a person's diet. She makes something of an exception with berries though, since they are lower in sugar than more "domesticated" fruits like apples and stonefruit (i.e. peaches, nectarines, cherries, etc.) Her general dietary recommendations are to eat fat until feelings of hunger dissipate, then eat enough protein from animal products to meet your body's rebuilding and maintenance needs. She recommends a fairly low protein intake, because a lot of research correlates lower but adequate protein consumption with greater longevity and staying sharper later in life. Her recommendation for protein intake translates to 6-8 ounces of meat per day for an average person, a bit more for those who are athletic and have greater needs for repair (I'd probably fall in this latter category due to my exercise routine and martial training...).
Overall a great book. I recommend it highly!
