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:

My husband and I are interested in learning more about the Paleo lifestyle, and these books would really help us out! One of my biggest concerns about the transition is how to keep the menu fun and interesting. I think the Make It Paleo book would address that issue because it includes lots of recipes to add a bit of variety to the menu. :)

This is a tough one, but I think I'm most interested at checking out The 30 day guide to paleo cooking. I'm just getting started in the Paleo lifestyle and need all the information and good recipes and suggestions that I can get!
Craig Moss says
My wife and I have lost almost 40 pounds EACH since embracing the paleo lifestyle in August of 2012. Considering we love to entertain, and several of our friends and family have embraced it as well, we believe "Gather" would be the book we'd be most interested in. Rest assured all three cookbooks will be a part of our daily meal planning.
