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.
Hayley Mason and Bill Staley started their grain-free journey together in 2010 with their blog, Primal Palate. Since then, they have cooked their way to becoming two of the most popular Paleo foodies on the web.

Trying to help my diabetic husband eat more Paleo as he transitions into the Crossfit world as well. He is so excited to get healthy and possible take less insulin with the Paleo diet as well. With a little daughter now, there is more to live for and be around longer for her. The book that looks most interesting would be the 30 Day Guide to Paleo so we could really get a jump start into this new lifestyle!!!!

I would be really interested in the 30 day guide to paleo cooking-- only for the reason that it is so hard to start and stick to changing the way I cook and eat. I have been semi-paleo for a while now and I need a kick in the butt to go full force. I am very interested in all three books though! Pick me and I will be using every piece of information!!!

Great prizes! I would be most interested in the Make it Paleo book because I want to give this book to my sister who has just started the Paleo diet and often complains about the lack of variety in her meals. I think it would really help her and inspire her to stick with it! She struggles immensely with her diet and health, and I want to do everything I can do to help her.
