The Paleo Vegetarian Diet is the ultimate guide to healthy eating and changing one’s lifestyle, featuring tips to mastering the diet with a twist. No rice, no dairy, no soy, no beans, no alcohol, and NO MEAT. But how can this be since the Paleo diet centers around eating meats like our ancestors did while Vegetarian diets center around eating dairy and soy products?

Author, 20 year vegetarian, and avid marathon runner Dena Harris creates a collision between the differing diets making them one. What makes her diet recipes special is that they are are vegetarian recipes that implement Paleo tactics without the meat.

The book even features a ‘Dining Out’ section listing foods that are okay to eat and foods one should avoid at culturally different restaurants and popular restaurant chains including Taco Bell, Chipotle, and McDonalds.

“For anyone who has struggled with food. I hope this book makes it an ally versus an enemy,” said Harris.
