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 like the Make It Paleo - I think the more options I would have to cook, the more likely I would be to stick with it.

I would enjoy the 30 day guide. This is all new to me but I honestly have felt like I'm slowly dying over the last few years... So many health issues and my body is in such decline. I'm a young (36) mommy of three kids and have so much life to live! It's time to STOP medicating with any true diagnosis and Start HEALING with real food and herbs....
It seems a little overwhelming now but I see no other way and its time to be truly healthy! I'm ready!

I like all 3. Although make it Paleo would be something I would really like. I am current studying different eating styles and just start focusing on Paleo. I liked and downloaded your app. I think both will be great when it comes to nutritional business information.

I'm most interested in the 30 Day Guide to Paleo Eating since this would be a new way of eating for my family. We have definitely switched to more real, whole, foods, but we aren't Paleo. Very interested in this way of eating.
