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:

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.

30 day guide to Paleo Cooking, sounds like a great way to start shifting from just gluten free to paleo.

Would love to try the 30 day guide. Have 2 in our household that are gluten intolerant and need to work toward dairy free as well. The guide would be so helpful!

I would love a copy of one of these books either make it paleo or the 30 day guide because I am trying desperately to figure out what to eat and how to eat to keep my weight down, and the new morning hand swelling (osteoarthritis) away! I've heard paleo can help

I am vegan, but I like the idea of healing my gut - while healthy, the vegan diet can be quite harsh if not done properly. I would most like to try 'The 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking'.

I tried to say "app" for my 2nd chance to win but it keeps telling me it's a duplicate entry, so I'm writing this one to let you know that I did only do 3 entries (unless there is another one in cyber space) and that I registered on their website to get their newsletter. Thank you !
