Paleo Diet Weight Loss – The Failure Rate Is High!

I used to wonder incessantly about Paleo diet weight loss method. Is it effective as they say?
Well, here’s my story…

I adopted the Paleo diet 7 months ago. Before using this diet, my body fat level was pretty high – hovering between 22 to 24% (hard to determine the exact percentage as I was only using a standard body fat caliper).

See, I was dying to have a set of rock solid abs like those cover models on Men’s Health magazine. I was tired of having my gut rolling over my jeans every time I sat down. So, I discovered the caveman diet through an acquaintance.

I did a little research on Paleolithic meal plans and came to the conclusion that this diet is certainly worth a try. So, 7 months later…

And what’s my Paleo Diet weight loss result so far?

The result has been great! Okay, okay, “the rock solid abs” hasn’t appeared yet but that’s because I’ve been slacking off a bit when it comes to exercising. However my body fat percentage has been slashed to about 13% or so!

Although my abdominals aren’t visible yet, my tummy has flattened so when I sit down, my gut is not rolling over my pants anymore!

But there’s something you should know before embarking on this diet….
.
The failure rate is extremely high!

At first, I wanted to abandon this diet because Palo diet foods taste horribly bland! Sure you can cheat by adding processed ingredients, but if you want optimal Paleo diet weight loss result, then you must absolutely minimize cheating.

Anyway, just when I was about to surrender, I came across a large collection of Paleo cookbooks and the recipes in there was so good, it gave me longevity. Now, I’m staying put with this healthy diet so I can get even better Paleo diet weight loss result.

Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Volume 1 Review

What is this book never existed?  What if Julia Child never went to France?  Yes, that would be sad.  After all, wasn’t it Julia Child who introduced French cooking to the American public?  Wasn’t she the one who made it seemed easy to whip up French sauces?  Some people would say that the book Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Vol. 1 by Julia Child actually saved American families from TV dinners and leftover casseroles.  This bigger-than-life woman actually ushered in the culinary revolution in the United States in the 70s.

With the publication of Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Julia Child, along with her co-authors Louisette Berthlle and Simone Beck, successfully introduced authentic French cooking to American kitchens.  What makes this book unique is that the ingredients used in preparing the recipes can actually be found in any American grocery store or supermarket.  When Child prepared the book, she wanted to offer recipes with ingredients that people can actually find – and that’s she did.  This is quite a feat considering how relatively young American cuisine was.  Some would say that it was a wasteland.  People were quite content with TV dinners.

The book was written over 40 years ago – and it’s actually high time that you buy Your Own copy.  Julia Child is an engaging, witty and funny author.  The language used is clear and the recipes reflect those of any French cookbook..  This is actually what makes this cookbook incredible – the fact that it was written 40 years ago.  It was the first of its kind and it changed American culinary culture.

It is a definitely a must-have book.  It offers basic understanding of French cooking.  In fact, you could say that it offers understanding of the most basic cooking techniques, methods and skills.  Julia Child – bless her heart – possesses this incredible way of communicating with her readers.  She makes the most complex tasks seem easy!

If you love to cook, this is your book.  The only drawback to this cookbook is that it does not offer 10-Minute Meals.  You have to devote a couple of hours to one recipe.  The recipes are typically longer than usual and they are really detailed.  You will definitely know what to do from start to finish.  Despite the long recipes, however, you will have no difficulty looking for the ingredients.  Child made sure that you can find everything in the supermarket.  If you have always wanted to whip up French food like an expert, this is definitely your book..

This book will teach you all the fundamental techniques of French cooking.  In fact, you will learn how to sauté, chop onions, dice, mince or add egg yolks to a hot sauce to avoid curdling.  Basically, you will learn how to whip up mouth watering dishes.  French cooking is all about Good Food.  It’s not just about combining ingredients or plating – it is primarily focused on awesome food that tastes great!  This is exactly what Mastering the Art of French Cooking offers.

They say that with the right instructions, anyone can whip up the most delicious meals.  This cookbook offers plain step-by-step instructions, from purchasing the readily-available ingredients to assembling them and cooking them.  You will be surprised at how easy French cooking can be.

The book has the recipes organized according to themes.  You will also find numerous variations.  Key recipes, however, are presented in a way that you will first learn the basics of cooking before you actually proceed to learning the more intricate techniques and methods.  You will find valuable tips like how to buy the right cuts of meat, right beans or seafood.  You will find suggestions on side dishes or wines to match particular dishes.  Would you like to know the secret of famous recipes?  The book has them all.

Guess what, your kids will even like your food.  You will even have them nagging you for it.  The book may seem intimidating at first, but you will soon see that the recipes are really quite easy to do once you have tried one or two.  It is quite obvious that Julia Child and her co-authors put a lot of thought to this book and every one of its recipes.

Cooking is an art, but it can be fun too.  This book is Julia Child’s legacy.  It’s worth every penny.
