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:

So I am looking into this way of eating.....I understand that there is no grains? I am curious why? There has been grains around for a long time, although i am sure they were eaten in a different state. (not all processed)
30 day would be my 1st pick because of the menu and shopping lists and info about why Paleo, but second would be the Make it Paleo because I cook a lot for 7 people (5 of them adults).

I'm really interested in all of these books, but especially "Gather." I just saw a few reviews of the book, and thought it would be perfect, since my husband hasn't been completely on bored with my new mostly paleo lifestyle.
