The Paleo Slow Cooker

Note: This is a revised and updated edition.

The Paleo diet has been the latest health movement, taking the low carb diet a step further by eliminating grains and legumes and eating only lean, grass-fed meat. In short, it promotes consuming only what was available to ancient humans, or cavemen. The theory suggests that by eating what human bodies were designed to eat, people will be healthier, experience fewer illnesses, and lose weight.

In many cases, Paleo diet consumers are also fuelling their P90X or CrossFit exercise routines, the two most popular fitness regimes in the country. The health benefits have been supported by major studies, making this a popular trend much like the low carb diet.

It is combined with the great bookselling topic of slow cooking. While the cavemen didn't have slow cookers, they certainly employed slow cooking techniques over fires, which makes the meals in The Paleo Slow Cooker one step closer to the origins and theory behind the diet. The delicious dishes are as homey as they are healthy—and ready when you are.
