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 will be a very interesting book to read. Often, my clients, find it's the first 30 days of any lifestyle change that are the most challenging.
If they have a plan for 4 weeks (plus) of meals. The temptation to veer away from their ultimate goal is less persuasive.
Thanks for all that you do!

Truthfully, I'm interested in all three. Any of those would help me get out of the grain-free rut I've been in! We need some variety 'round here. If I had to pick one, it would be Make It Paleo.
Thanks for this opportunity to win!
