I bought this book today: The Paleo Diet by Loren Cordain, Ph.D.

I looked at Dr. Atkin's book, too -- but it seems like what the bookstore was stocking were not his actual books, but trend-off of his general philosophy designed to make more money for his brand. I didn't like them.

Anyway, it looks really interesting. It's low-ish carb -- the book says to aim for 20-40g per day. It seems to have lots of suggestions for people (like me) with food intolerances, like to eat goat's milk products instead of cow's milk. It also suggests that people who tend towards vegetarianism because they feel ill when they eat meat should try eating game and organ meats. I had never thought of those things before, but I'm going to try it and see. It also recommends a lot of foods I already eat or like, and has an admittedly small section about endurance athletes. (Which, hey, is better than the majority of diet books out there -- they don't normally target themselves at marathon runners! Ha!)
