![Book cover Danielle Walker's Against All Grain Celebrations: A Year of Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, and Paleo Recipes for Every Occasion [A Cookbook]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51AIn2Te0LL._UX300undefined_.jpg)
Disclosure: I'm a big Robb Wolf fan and a low-carb practitioner, so I did not exactly sit down to read this book as an outsider or as a critic or a skeptic. That said, I have been disappointed by the last three ancestral health related books I have read (each by authors who were writing their "next" book) so I did open the work a little concerned that it might kind of suck.
I read the first 60 pages or so in print, then shifted to the audiobook version for the next several chapters, then finished up with the print version. I thought the audiobook version was excellent. The narrator did a great job representing Robb's "voice." In fact, it might be the most I've ever enjoyed an audiobook that was not read by the actual author. The authors always do it best themselves, but the reader Kaleo Griffith deserves an honorable mention here.
As for style points, Robb mixed in just about the right amount of anecdotes, mild profanity and comic relief to keep me engaged even through some of the heavier content. There was a little too much, "In this book, you will learn" stuff in the first chapter or two, but that ironed out quickly once the introductions were over. And the book didn't beat me to death with gobs of basic stuff I already knew. The paleo sales pitch was barely there, which was great. Robb didn't just retread The Paleo Solution with a few new paragraphs and some updated geek speak. In fact, I was left with the feeling that he wrote this book for me and the thousands of mes he likely deals with all the time.
"Dude, paleo is awesome! I totally believe it, and I feel great when I do it! But then I get bored or sloppy or drink too much or I'm weak or whatever, and so I'm still a little fat and lazy after four years on a f***ing diet..." I can relate to this silliness, and I felt like the book both acknowledged my existence and offered me a fresh way to look at my own approach to diet.
For the beginner, the content is spot on and consistent in every detail with the ancestral health philosophies on food, sleep, sun, movement and healthy human interaction. His chapter on cheating and his section on the 30-Day Reset are some of the best health writing I have ever personally read. I believe the 7-Day Carb Test (which I will soon do for myself) will eventually become low-carb canon. And he even throws in almost 100 pages of recipes if you're into that sort of thing. The references and index are thorough, so you can do some further reading or easily look up a good Robb Wolf quote.
Wired is not a picture book full of oversimplifications and over-promises. It will ask you to work for what you earn, but it's written so well that it won't feel too much like work. In fact, if you're an unserious sicky or fatty who is not yet ready to make a change, I'm not sure I even want you to read this book yet. Read something else for now and come back to this one when you're plugged in. If you are ready though, this book is going to make a ton of sense to you. As Robb says in the book, "If you give the program and, more specifically, yourself a chance, you might be shocked by what you can achieve."
If the goal in writing this book was to help serious people understand why they have health and weight struggles and then help them to understand how they can best determine for themselves how turn things around in a lasting way, then Robb Wolf crushed it with Wired to Eat.

A thoughtful book on a touchy subject. Excellent for people who are brand new to carb-centric thought on nutrition.
This is an excellent book that covers a lot of actionable things about nutrition. I like how it actually takes an "experiment, analyze, and adjust" type of approach with nutrition. The author obviously knows nutrition--and even more importantly he knows the nuances that people will encounter when trying to dial in their nutrition. I like being able to run tests to verify things for me as a person. Even though there are technically more accurate ways to measure carb sensitivities, the methods used in this book are good enough in order to get your nutrition under control. It will allow you to make some serious progress compared to doing no analysis of your nutrition. Understandably he spends a lot of time trying to convince the reader. I understand the need for this as a lot of people are not exactly informed at all when it comes to nutrition. However, it can be a bit tough to read through that stuff to get to the meat and potatoes of the book. If you are familiar with carbs and their effect on nutrition at all, you may find some parts just reiterating what you may already know. It is worth the read in the end. Dimensions of the book can be seen in the photos I have attached. Pros: *Very informative *Actionable content *The author really has a good understanding of nutrition Cons: *Some of the stuff can be dry because he is trying so hard to convince those people who have not explored low carb diets before (-1/4 of a star) Additional Considerations: Read Gary Taubes' books. They are a great tool for understanding the history of nutrition and they definitely align with this book. Overall: 4.75/5 stars (>=.5 rounds up, <.5 rounds down) => 5 stars If you have any further questions regarding the product in my review please leave a comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
