Have just read a great book and wanted to share it here: Paleoista: Gain Energy, Get Lean, and Feel Fabulous With the Diet You Were Born to Eat by Nell Stephenson.

Although not technically a book about maintenance, it is full of tips and advice in how to go about making your woe a lifestyle. IMO, this is where so many go wrong and find it very difficult to maintain. They think that you can go on a diet, lose the weight, and then return to their old way of eating and all their original bad habits. They don't realise that they need to change their whole way of thinking and more often than not, their way of doing things too. In other words, they have to change their lifestyle.

A Kitchen Makeover Guide, A Healthy Grocery Store Field Trip and Sticking with It Socially cover just some of the great advice on offer. IMO, you don't need to be following a paleo woe in order to benefit from it either. Oh, and there are over 50 delicious recipes too.

You refer to “the paleo lifestyle,” not just the paleo diet. Can you explain the difference?


We’ve heard this in terms of weight loss—you talk about a diet and how it has to be a lifestyle change, you have to do something that you’re going to live with indefinitely. That’s why so many diets don’t work, because they’re too strict, or too low in calories, and son on. The paleo lifestyle is a lifestyle because it’s something you can follow not just at home, or here or there, but everywhere; you can do this everywhere. We don’t live in a bubble—we have business trips, we have parties—and one of the things I want to make clean in the book is that this is possible to do everywhere.
