Before the current trend in dieting, Dr. Phil Goscienski was putting together the first of its kind book about eating the way we were designed to eat. "Health Secrets" is more thorough than my project The Evolution Diet and promotes a lot of the same central points like: why dieting is not supposed to work, why we're meant to exercise, and generally how unnatural most people's diets are. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.

Goscienski is entertaining as much as he is thorough and interjects witty remarks while surveying the benefits of eating like Sam and Sal (Stone Age Man and Stone Age Lady). Would stone agers have been chocoholics? Why is yo-yo dieting like the myth of Sisysfus? How did the average breakfast muffin nearly quadruple in size from 1957 to 1997? Goscienski answers these as well as many other interesting facets of our eating habits.

"Health Secrets" is more than just a diet book; it is a collection of concepts that promote healthy living in general. In fact, Gocsienski makes it clear that 'dieting' as it is conducted these days is unhealthy, but that there is great wisdom in the way our ancestors ate.
