The First Diet Helps Improve Three Key Elements To Health.
Increase Metabolism
Speed up your metabolic rate and jump start your bodies biological functions to operate at its maximum potential.
What made us healthy, vibrant big-brained humans 200,000 years ago, and why are we sicker than ever now?
Why are people more sick today than ever before? The First Diet proposes that this phenomenon is largely a result of damaged metabolisms due to metabolic-fuel-incompatibility. We have slowly given up the warm weather foods our 98.6 degree bodies evolved to eat with foods that grow in the cold.
Scientists can see what people have been eating by examining their cells. Studies show that since the year 1960 there's been a 310% increase in the “cold weather” fat in our tissues, and a 270% increase in obesity—a close tie in numbers. And that's only the beginning of our problems.
This damage can be reversed, the human body is resilient. But in order to heal, we must eat foods that are proven to stabilize and increase metabolic function. The foods that grew where we evolved and became human. The same foods that gave us so much metabolic energy that we could afford to evolve such a large brain.
But as The First Diet explains, even our brain size is in jeopardy if we do not change the way we eat, and soon. The First Diet is focused on showing you the foods that are compatible with our warm-blooded bodies. The foods that create more energy, and help increase your metabolism and health. This is the same type of energy that helped us evolve into the big-brained humans we are today. And the very energy we need to restore our health.

This book presents an eye-opening narrative about nutrition within the framework of examining our origins as humans while meticulously providing footnotes and references. The listing of the RDA requirements for nutrients within the context of macronutrient balance provides a great practical starting point where most diet books leave you lost in terms of knowing what type of nutrient intake you’ll experience.
But the best part about this book is that the author has a balanced approach to health and life. His recommendations are sustainable for the long run and help you avoid the yo-yo food neurosis that people experience as they follow the fads. The author wisely recognizes that there is more to health than just your diet and gives insight to what overall can affect your health. He describes types of exercise that enhance metabolism that don't beat you down in an endless cycle of too much energy going out and not enough recovery to sustain the nutritional benefits to health.
To top it all off he offers amazing recipes that look delicious and are all within the First Diet parameters for health while listing the macronutrient content. Very well-written, detailed, and insightful book.

In the world of health and nutrition, things can quickly wind up getting far too complex and difficult to grasp but Sean breaks these concepts down and streamlines them in a way that makes them enjoyable to read about and understand.
As another reviewer had already pointed out, this book does a great job at looking at health and nutrition from a balanced perspective. This is extremely important because this approach is sustainable long term and avoids that all too common restrictive and orthorexic mentality that you see today.
Besides a well researched and presented take on diet and nutrition, I was happy to see that this book offered some great looking recipes, workout ideas, and well organized RDA references. All in all, I feel like this is a well written book to keep close and use as reference to implementing a healthier way of life.
- Manuel CeballosA great introduction for those who need an on ramp to the concept of taking care of your own health, detailed enough to give you a scope of what should be considered when approaching metabolic health but not overwhelming, and not overbearing in its recommendations, takes consideration of health as a continuum and a process, not a fixed formula.
