Primal Blueprint author Mark Sisson presents a fun, easy-to-follow,
practical guidebook to help you "get Primal" in only 21 days. First,
you'll learn eight Key Concepts that represent the most important
day-to-day elements living Primally, then tackle five Action Items that
will enable you to literally reprogram your genes toward a long,
healthy, and energetic life. The Action Items are presented in a fun and
life-transforming 21-Day Challenge, featuring daily diet, exercise, and
lifestyle endeavors with corresponding journal exercises.
You'll transition out of the regimented, carb-dependent, fat-storing
Standard American Diet (SAD), the chronic, overly-stressful exercise
patterns recommended by Conventional Wisdom, and other
health-compromising elements of hectic modern life. Instead, you'll
smoothly implement the evolution-tested lifestyle behaviors of our
hunter-gatherer ancestors to promote optimal gene expression. By eating
Primally, you'll transform from a "sugar-burner" into a Sisson's
so-called "fat burning beast", where stored body fat becomes your
preferred fuel choice, and energy, hormone, metabolic, and immune
function are optimized automatically. With an intuitive mix of Primal
workouts, you'll get exceptionally fit in only a few hours per week --
and have fun while you're at it!
The Primal Blueprint 21-Day Transformation is stocked with photos,
diagrams, concise section summaries, workout descriptions and photos,
resource lists for Primal-approved foods and foods to avoid, recipe
suggestions, and detailed real-life success stories to help you stay
confident and focused on your Primal journey.
Unlike many complex, regimented, quick-fix programs, the Primal
Blueprint 21-Day Transformation is a simple, sensibly-paced journey
shaped by personal preference and a strong emphasis on enjoying
comfortable modern life. The material is scalable for everyone, from
Type-A fitness die-hards who might benefit from a more relaxed approach,
to couch potatoes who need motivation to take that first step.
Mark Sisson guides you in a light-hearted, irreverent tone that will
make you feel comfortable and inspired, and never intimidated. You can
expect quick results in the first 21 days (fat loss, improved energy
levels, fitness, and blood test markers), but your 21-Day Transformation
is only the beginning of a life of ease and contentment that is possible
when you live in harmony with your genetic requirements for health and
longevity.
