Very good course for beginners into the Paleo lifestlye! I have done Paleo before but wanted to see what this course had to say about it and it gave me a couple of things to take away from it. I liked how he had a practical approach to serving sizes without having to have an excel chart, and I also liked the "Find Your Why Guide", very motivational! Can't wait to get back into it!

After years of struggling to lose body fat and suffering from painful digestive issues I made a decision to take control of my health in 2009. Researching everything about health and nutrition I could get my hands on I started testing my findings. In a matter of months I lost 33 pounds of unwanted body fat and have kept that weight off with very little effort. Going from over 20% body fat to maintaining 10% body fat year around without gimmicks or crash diets. I love sharing this information with other people because it has the power to transform someone's life.
