Chances are you’ve heard of the Paleo lifestyle/diet. It is no secret that it’s a growing trend, which many around us are embracing. The Paleo lifestyle means eating real food with an emphasis on humanely raised meat, organic vegetables, and good quality fats like organic coconut oil, fats from pasture-raised animals, and grass-fed butter/ghee. That means no grains! And in some cases, depending on which Paleo eater you are talking to, no dairy. The other focus of the Paleo diet is to incorporate organ meats and fermented foods like sauerkraut and kombucha (the latter are for the benefits of probiotics).
I’ve personally heard of many people who’ve been able to put their autoimmune disorders in remission after switching to a Paleo diet. The belief is that disease can start in the gut, so when you remove gut irritating foods like grains, legumes, and dairy, as well as soy and sugar, you can heal your gut and heal your body. I’ve always said if you feel better without eating gluten or grains or dairy (or another food group)…then by all means avoid it!
So today I am excited to introduce some great resources for those interested in trying out a Paleo lifestyle…three books from the bestselling authors and creators of The Food Lovers Kitchen, Bill Staley and Hayley Mason:

I am becoming more and more interested in healthy eating and the connection it has towards overall health. I am a 2nd grade teacher and mother to 2 young daughters and grow more and more convinced that many of the attention problems and diseases children are acquiring are linked to all the crap in our "food" nowadays. I would love to check out the 30 day start up guide as I have never heard of this diet. You have peaked my curiousity, even if I don't win. :) Thanks for the opportunity.

I would like the 30 day guide to paleo cooking. My baby has severe eczema, a peanut allergy, and is sensitive to dairy. My mom has psoriasis. I would love to learn how to cook food that would potentially eliminate their health problems.
