The Primal Blueprint 21-Day Total Body Transformation

A Step-by-Step, Gene Reprogramming Action Plan

De: Mark Sisson

Narrado por: Stephen Schlepmo

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 of 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!

Body transformation

The easy lifestyle choices of the programme i find appealing. Eliminating grains,legumes, sugars and processed food and eating the foods I enjoy already of meat, fowl, fish, eggs, vegetables , seeds and nuts for a healthy nutritious diet without the addictive sugar cravings or processed snacks. Also natural exercise to keep active and mobile without injury or time consuming over excursion programmes. The lifestyle changes seem perfect for me now I’m in my fifties I wish I had known a lot of this information at a younger age.

A Summary

I've read the Primal Blueprint, as well, by the same author and narrator. This book is much of the same information, but is more of a summary. I use it for quick reference. It condensed the data from the Primal Blueprint into a rundown of the most important information and provided a straight-forward listing of action items to get started on resetting the body to be fat adapted. It just as good as the Primal Blueprint, it's just in a more condensed format. Both books are equally important, but have different uses. For a detailled scientific study on Mark's primal concepts, read the Primal Blueprint. For a more straightforward guide, quick reference, or primer to the lifestyle, read The 21 Day Total Body Transformation.

excellent!

going to do this. if it works it is life changing and culturally changing. worth your time.

It works!

I did this and I lost the weight and enjoyed eating right along. It was shockingly easy. I never felt hungry or deprived.

Please redo with a new narrator.

The book was great and full of useful knowledge, but the narration was unbearable. The author as narrator would be a vast improvement.

Great book!.....A less intense Paleo option!

I am a big fan of Mark Sisson's work. It is definitely advocating the paleo lifestyle however Mark is great about reminding the reader/listener to enjoy life as well.

need the transcript

I own this audio book and the actual print copy. they make the text available for download from the website which is awesome. Given that this is a Hands-On application book and not just Theory, you really do need the text to read through study take notes and apply. The audio version is a great supplement to listen to in your spare time or when driving to keep yourself on track, but I can't imagine following this program with the audiobook only.

Practical involvement

Became engrossed in the content look forward to continuing each time I had after each time I had to stop

Very interesting.

Wish there was a visual component for the action items, the food hierarchy especially. Blah.

fantastic book read over and over againand again

need to read this so mamy times to get it and then read it again. pick it up every 3-6 months. you cannot go wrong with what's said its so basic its easy!!
