One day, she decided to take up yoga (because it seemed like a great way to get a toned butt).

The Paleo diet is all about returning to a healthier way of life - cutting out all the heavily processed, high fat, fast food that is an invention of recent times, and getting back to the fruits, veg, meat, seafood and nuts that our Paleolithic, hunter-gatherer ancestors thrived on when our species evolved. The digestive system we have now was shaped back then so is makes perfect sense to return to a similar diet - eating organic, omitting dairy and cooking with healthy fats and the right kind of carbs. This diet offers a welcome change in lifestyle that not only helps us lose weight but also enjoy many additional health benefits. The 100 recipes in this book cover breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks. They are easy to follow, low in fat and high in flavour and will inspire and encourage you to cook and eat well so you not only lose weight but also look and feel fantastic.

Recipes are broken down into two broad categories: higher carbohydrate recipes for fuelling your performance or supporting recovery on exercise days, and lower carbohydrate recipes, which are more relevant to active recovery days (when less carbohydrate is required). These versatile recipes can be personalised to any health or performance goal, including improving body composition by lowering body fat and increasing muscle mass.
