Discover what the latest buzz in the paleosphere is all about with an easy to read but in-depth exploration of the phenomenon of resistant starch, a seemingly simple addition to the diet that holds out the potential for all sorts of health benefits, including weight loss, better glucose control, normalization of hunger, improved biomarkers and an end to gastrointestinal woes thanks to the normalization of the gut biome. A few simple measures outlined in this short book will facilitate vastly improved health and well-being. The easy-to-digest format of the book doesn't get bogged down in extraneous or tangential issues such as vitamin supplements, "super foods" or misleading scientific studies that ultimately prove nothing. The suggested diet could not be more simple, though several alternatives are explored -- all of them basic and easy to implement. The resistant starch phenomenon holds a great deal of promise for better health, and this book suggests a few simple, inexpensive "hacks" to bootstrap yourself into building up a vastly improved gut bacteria -- which sets off key signals to the body's biochemical network that the intestines are finally in touch with nature.
