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:

- - The 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking
For your first 30 days of eating Paleo, this book includes a complete 30-day meal plan broken down week by week. In each week, they provide a detailed schedule of the meals to make, shopping lists that go along with the meal plan, and recommended reading to expand your knowledge of this lifestyle beyond the basics. The book includes 75 paleo recipes, with an additional 24 bonus recipes for quick and easy meals beyond the plan.
Hayley Mason and Bill Staley started their grain-free journey together in 2010 with their blog, Primal Palate. Since then, they have cooked their way to becoming two of the most popular Paleo foodies on the web.

OOoh the Paleo entertaining book would be fabulous! I have several friends who try to stick to paleo. I would be interested to convince people that you can entertain without all the traditional unhealthy party foods. :)

Hello-
I would love the book about entertaining paleo. I think that getting others to enjoy the same food as you is the hard part of it and this could be really helpful!
Thanks, Emily

I am interested in reading all of them. My husband has been trying paleo for a few months, but I don't feel very supportive. These books should help. We entertain a lot, so I would love Gather the most.

I would most like to check out the 30 day Paleo cookbook. My sister's family has recently started on this journey... I'm not sure if it is for us though. This seems like a great place to start.
Sara Spock says
I'm looking forward to reading all three books, but can't wait to read the 30 Day Guide. I've been transitioning my family to a paleo routine and would love some extra ideas.
Kathy (but I go by Kate) says
I am interested in the book The 30 Day guide to Paleo Cooking.
I am 39 and a first time mom to my Son C 5 mths old. I am a diabetic and work my 40 plus and the bus commute is 1 hr or more each way. I need to get my health together so I can be a more effective mom. I want to live long enough to get him to adult hood. With it being just him, his dad and I with no other family I have to make sure I don't leave him and orphan. (Dad also has health issues).
If this diet can help me get healthy and save money I am all for it. If it can help me get healthy and not save money I will still do it.
Thank you for your time
