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'm scheduled for esophagus surgery at the end of June. After my restricted diet is lifted, I plan to work on eating paleo. I have an autoimmune disease and some other health issues, so I'm hoping that a paleo diet will help! I'm only 33, so I have a long life ahead of me!

I would love all three books. I am just learning about the Paleo Diet. The Make it Paleo for the recipes and fundamentals. Gather, so I can share it with others when I'm entertaining, and the 30 day guide, so it can assist me with a 30 day menu. This will allow me to start making a positive change in my and my family's diet.
If I have to pick just one, then I'd go with 30 day menu :)

I would use the 30 day guide to Paleo cooking to start my journey on a Paleo diet. I have been considering it for a while and this would help me jump on in. Thanks!!
Lorinda says
The "30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking" would probably be the most used one by me. I've read a lot about paleo and the biggest challenge for me is recipes, so that my family won't get bored with the same thing. I think it would really help to get my family on the right track!!!
