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.

It is exactly like reading a book or listening an audiobook... I would prefer to see the person who is teaching me and decide if he is a good example to follow.

The first part was somewhat informative, but I would have liked to see some references and sources for the information there. The last part was quite repetitive and didn't offer anything new. I was expecting actual meal plan ideas and recipes, not only information about the Paleo diet. The instructor's style is quite engaging though, and the course is a good introduction to the Paleo diet, but it could have been made shorter.

Chris gives you a short, very clear explanation of the Paleo lifestyle. I was pleasantly surprised because I though it was going to be very complicated and restrictive. You get to eat a really wide variety of foods that you eat everyday anyway. He also gives you a series of easy action plans to help you accomplish the goals you have set for yourself. I would recommend this course to anyone who is curious about what Paleo is and what it can do for you.

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!

As I have read about the subject it was a wee bit too slow and repetitive for me. The links to the extra notes didn’t work and neither did the free month link, this however has not stopped me from going the paleo route on my own.

It is a great course for beginners who are planning to start the diet or the people who just derailed from their weight loss diet due to some mistakes. This course explains clearly about the core pillars for Paleo Diet and how to stick to it. Things I have like about the course are: -- To the point -- Easy and practical -- Explained the mistakes which we do.

I was already very familiar with the Paleo diet prior to starting this course, but was just looking for some reinforcement/new tips. I think the information was presented very thoroughly, but in a very simple way for everybody to understand. It kept me engaged throughout the entire program.

This was a very informative course. After hearing about the paleo lifestyle and not knowing what it really meant I walked away feeling like I now have the tools and knowledge to start. I have already been eating clean for years (no processed food, organic meat and veggies, fruits whenever possible) but I still found ways to improve on that. Starting today!

It is thoughtful, and gives not only clear explanation, but aids mental focus and demonstrates how to avoid obstacles in a clear manner. This is non-threatening and student friendly. Goal Setting and mental rewards are incorporated, as well as justifications for making a diet and lifestyle change.
