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 have just recently been looking into the Paleo diet as a possible deterrent to M.S. exacerbations. I would like to read the "The 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking". Thanks for the chance to win!
Diane says
They all sound great, but would most like to check out the 30 day guide.
Malia Wilson says
I think I would be most interested in the 30 day guide to paleo cooking. I have dabbled and flirted with adopting the paleo lifestyle, but as with any other major life change it is a process. It would be great to have a 30 day guidebook/jump start!!!
Ashley Thomas says
I am most interested in the, "Make it Paleo" book. I love when books have a way to organize their recipes into meals. I am a busy person married to a busy person, and we rarely get to connect except over meal time. For us, creative and healthy meals are a great way for us to re-center and work together to nourish our bodies and relationship.
